Spelling mistakes on social media

[allyre]

Am I wrong to be completely outraged by the spelling mistakes on social media? Why are there so many people who can't tell the difference between "two", "too" or "to" or "there" and "their". Another cause of massive aggravation to me is when someone says they are "on route" somewhere - oh my good God!!! And don't even get me started on the use of apostrophes!!!

It is en route
we've lost the it's vs its battle, I'm seeing that all over now

To be honest I've got a cheek to talk - I keep typing "kind retards" at the end of my e-mails and having to change it.

Just seen "anyone know where to repair a puncher" on my local FB page.

Not 'adverse'?

No Chronic it wasn't an apple, there must be more than one of them out there making these awful things.

Well spotted a body
I was too busy sniggering at the shabby sheikh

I love doggy dog world . And shabby sheik. And Chow! New one on me, that..

Mn is sooooo clicky these days

No read the whole thread but autocorrect makes me look like I've never set foot in a school.

Its the same four us owl wen it dose it's thing

On driving threads everyone is breaking left right and centre. It's not a spelling mistake, it's just the wrong fucking word. Like they have never read a sign that says "check your brakes" or noticed that "break time" is a totally different thing to needing to slow your car down.

Well of coarse they are. They don't want to loose control of the car.

Bare with me

I once had a snippy, passive aggressive argument through the medium of Microsoft edits with a designer. He kept correcting 'prospective' to 'perspective' and I would change it back. Wanker.

Precisely - you can be en route or on your way but never the two should merge!

Should of/could of makes me itchy.

Spelling and grammar aren't so difficult, really.

Oh that reminds me
Formally when they mean formerly.

Never seen it the other way round

I've seen both Chabby Chic and Shabby Shic on our local selling pages

All of these drive me round the bend.

Self-confessed pedant here and proud of it.

I do realise though that auto-correct has a lot to answer for. I have had many battles with mine and have concluded that it is just a twat.

Chester Draws anyone?

That gem has to be my all time favourite for sheer ignorance.

Send this to everyone who makes spelling/grammar mistakes.
Here is a link if it the picture isn't clear

Dis thread is haven me in lolz 😂😂😂

On a serious note though, it's so annoying!

Sorry - I've read the thread at speed and might just have missed others Ho have pointed out that.........
The OP is complaining about the poor use of language/spelling by others and yet she totally misuses the word 'aggravation.'
She is not alone but it makes my teeth itch.

Ho Ho. Read - who.

Somebody on facebook posted a picture of their birthday dinner and the caption "bone apple tea" instead of bon appétit. That one made me laugh

People who "hover" their houses.
