For wanting to stick pins in my eyes when people write "on route"

[gratefulforwhatihavegot]

If you don't understand how to write something then don't try and be clever.

....And better posted in pedants corner? - probably your spiritual home.

WALLA oh hahahahahaha

No one? :(

bloody hell again - the local cancel or school cancel??!!?! although to be fair that's just a regional accent. innit. INNIT?!??!?!??!!?

YANBU, please go ahead and stick said pins in your eyes.

The trouble is that, in these situations, people don't know that they don't know! That's why they don't check the spellings.

As admirably described by Donald Rumsfeld (who I don't admire for any other reason), there are "known unknowns", which we can remedy because we are aware of a deficiency in our knowledge, but also *unknown unknowns" that we don't fix because we are blissfully unaware of our ignorance!

I was once thanked by someone for inviting them to my 'swaray'. Like party wouldn't have worked.

I've seen those types of errors far more on American sites than Uk. It's probably because French is not routinely taught in schools there, so folk have far fewer opportunities to see the words written down. So they simply spell them phonetically.
However, there's no excuse for getting sayings wrong. Some that really irritate me are:
"You've got another thing coming".
"I could care less".

I can't believe people would make fo pahs like this.

(And yes, I have seen people spelling 'faux pas' as 'fo pah'.)

Capeesh is one

YANBU. 'On route' makes me twitch, too.

Thankfully, I haven't come across 'per say' or 'say lavvy'

How about 'Stag due' or 'Christmas due'.

Irregardless is my absolute favourite.

i've only seen per say on here (and not on facebook, e.g.) (not this thread, obviously!!!!!!!!)

although my grandmother's not perfect. ha ha, i mean my grammar's not perfect, i mean, but if i want to write something foreign i hope to god i'd only write it if i knew how to bloody spell it.

Oh so there is no excuse for getting sayings wrong? (@80'smum)

No crudites for me, only horses doofers.

But totally agree about 'on route' .

Que for cue is the one that gets me. I only ever see it on here, but loads of people get it wrong. Weird.

Worst one I've ever encountered is tu shay. Yes really.

What is "say lavvy" meant to say?

Something a little more scholarly dyslexia.yale.edu/PAR_WordSnafus.html

Some cunt one I know tried to correct my "En route" with "you mean on route looool"

No I didn't you fuck weasel.

Gold- C'est la vie (that's life)

I once heard horse devores. Genius.
