It's 'make do' , not 'make due'?

[oldlaundbooth]

AIBU?

Colleague senior academic associate wrote' We'll make due' in an email

It's 'make do', right?

Also "I seen..."

I blame Eastenders and Alan Sugar for this. He seems to think it's correct to quiz Apprentice contestants by saying "What exactly was you doing on this task?"

Fopar! Fabulous. Similar to dayjahview?

This is an invitation to the evening "due" of a wedding

Fopar ???????!!!!!!!?? Omg!

Say lavee, Lady ?

Some (very few) of these are regional. I can't get upset about those, and actually rather like them.

Mardle I agree.

Fopar wins, fo sho.

Regional? Spoken, fine. But not written and not spoken formally.
oh that's another one. We would like to formerly invite you...

Commonly seen on other forums are people mixing been/being as in "what's the worst thing about been pregnant?" or "am I been unreasonable?"

I have a colleague who frequently declares something is a 'mute point' instead of 'moot'. He is right in a way as the point doesn't speak.

Say lavee

B*Witched would be turning in their denim

I still chuckle at my Geography teacher referring too Yosemite National Park and Yo-sem-might!!😂

Fopar!!! These are getting worse, or are people getting thicker?

Another pet hate of mine is alot. Ffs, it isn't even a word. In fact, it should be two words.

"Laying on your bed"
Really.....are you laying an egg?

One of my friends said on facebook she has a penance for classic cars.

I envisaged her punishing herself with vintage cars before i said i think you mean penchant. She has an English degree and trying to be a writer.

She said it was autocorrect...I've tried it doesn't change penchant to penance

My cousin frequently posts "So tiard" on Facebook.

LunaLoveG00d yes this one irritates me as well

defiantly when people mean definitely (and people here in Glasgow pronounce it "deff-inn-ATE-ley" which explains it. Hate it.

Plus thErty instead of thirty. Even John MacKay says it on the news. I was in Buchanan bus station once and there was a foreigner in front of me who (rightfully) couldn't understand the cashier asking for therty pounds until said cashier gave in and pronounced it correctly.

Oh, oh ect. instead of etc. Even my boss who's an English graduate gets this wrong.

We see a lot more written language, much of it informal, from people who twenty years ago wouldn't have written much that would have been read by anyone other than the recipient of a letter, for example. I don't think there's an epidemic of thick.

I do feel a bit mean laughing at the delboy French mistakes. If you've never been taught French how would you know what faux pas and c'est la vie mean? But still...

What's the pronunciation difference between thirty and therty? They are the same to me

It is preying on your mind.

Quiet/quite annoys me.

Also itinerary (a list of where you are going, optionally with times) versus timetable (a list of what's happening when).

You can't have an itinerary for an event that is just in one place.

Like the difference between shirt and herd I suppose.

They are literally the same sound

Sorry that was meant to be

Mute point instead of moot point always makes me feel itchy!
