to defriend someone for actually using the word 'discusted'?

In all seriousness. For real. She actually wrote that on her status.

Surely, not unreasonable to defriend?

gosh, how lovely. my older ds has a degree but dyslexia so can't spell. he isn't 'thick'.

in addition how do you judge 'thick' ??? are you so bloody clever??

horrible post.

thebody · 10/11/2013 18:16

oh yes an defined her. do her a favour. she probably expects a bit of loyalty and friendship from a friend not someone who rips the piss out of her behind her back.

Sorry, molly, I do tend to go into teacher mode on certain subjects.

Someone used 'escape goat' in conversation with me recently, it was a serious conversation so I did have to hide a smile! Smile

Rein/reign is the one driving me nuts on here at the moment- more people get it wrong than right- 'I give him free reign' arrrghhh!

Oh Inglorious, that example can't be forgiven!! Can't people read back what they write??? Don't they see what everyone else does?? Grin

Today I got coming on my facebook feed how someone kept 'loosing pupil after pupil' even though they were putting lots in they were going to 'loose' another one.

It definitely offends me...

Escape goat.
Ha ha ha!

One of my fb friends regularly writes things like;

'I ent got no money'

Or

'I ent got time to do stuff!'

Does my bloody head in.

I'm not the best speller or great at grammar so I re-read my status' a million times before I post, just to be sure!

"I seen" is one that I see a lot on Facebook. As in "I seen him the other day". My fingers get twitchy.

The former Australian Prime Minister uses "axed" instead of "asked". My brain exploded the day she used the word "youse".

KenAdams · 11/11/2013 23:11

"I should of" gets my goat. And so many people say it!

Monetbyhimself · 11/11/2013 23:26

Writerwannabe are you being ironic ? Given the spelling mistakes in your first post ?

iklboo · 11/11/2013 23:31

Ano wot u mean.

Selling on our local fb page 'luvly chester draws'. Twat.

MrsSchadenfreude · 11/11/2013 23:38

Does she spell it "benifits" as well?

misspontypine · 11/11/2013 23:55

Yabu.

Would you defriend a person who stutters because you are offended by the way they speak? Would you defriend a person in wheelchair because you didn't like them taking up so much room on the pavement?

Don't be so rude.

RussianBlu · 11/11/2013 23:56

You are not being unreasonable.

differentnameforthis · 12/11/2013 01:21

YABU, how do you now that she doesn't have dyslexia? I used to be like you, bad spelling/grammar annoyed me & I would correct it.

Until a friend who has dyslexia made me realise how cruel it can be when someone corrects your spelling or grammar, not taking into account in any way, that you may have a reason for not being able to spell so great!

Lazysuzanne · 12/11/2013 01:27

Loopa, I dont understand how it can have previously escaped your notice that the facebook status updater in question was not of the required intellectual standard.

I mean why are you friends with her in the first place?
Or has she only recently developed the spelling impediment, did she get in with a thick crowd for whom such things are the lingua franca?

Lazysuzanne · 12/11/2013 01:34

It's not usually just spelling though is it?
There's the use of certain phrases and figures of speech
along with the malapropisms

Thatisall · 12/11/2013 01:56

It's when people use dat instead of that. I deleted 20 odd school friends recently for that reason.

Thatisall · 12/11/2013 01:58

queen Chester drawers just made me lol

Thatisall · 12/11/2013 02:06

I see the goats are back!!! Yeay!!!

Thatisall · 12/11/2013 02:08

That should've all been one post, not three. Now I look very odd.
