I'm being very unreasonable but

[Unicorncatsack]

I'm on a Facebook mum's group and people KEEP misspelling "choking" as "chocking". WHY?!?! This spelling mistake doesn't even make sense.

You get a whole post spelled completely correctly and then - "chocking/chocked/chock"

It's giving me the rage.

YANBU. Wonder/wander gives me the rage every time.

At least those two sound the same, like affect & effect

Chocking doesn't even SOUND like choking

Autocorrect?

I guess it could be but is chocking even a word?

Ask them what they mean by it, then go Oh, choking.
Or reply to every single one and use the correct spelling as often as you can.

My manager at my old work used to write 'chaise' instead of chase in emails and it drove me mad. Just WHY?!

oh crap just noticed I posted in chat by mistake. Will get it moved.

Hmm. Maybe I'll start commenting.

is chocking even a word

Yes. If you put blocks behind and in front of the wheels of planes or road vehicles, you're chocking them.

Yes, at PILs old house, they used to insist that all visitors chocked their car wheels (PILs provided blocks of wood for chocks), as their drive was slopey and PILs worried about unchocked cars rolling onto the road.

Things like that make me feel funny, I want to reach through the screen and rub out the wrong spellings!

There's someone in my FB who writes hovering instead of hoovering. It's annoying but it makes me smile "a morning of hovering then I can sit down with a cuppa" (and yes her Facebook updates are always that boring)

When people say I brought ( whatever item) brought it where?

"Hovering" is brilliant

Actually I have another one - "his" instead of "he's" as in "his going to London"

My rage comes from people saying, or writing, 'of' instead of 'have'

example: "oh sorry I should of realised I'm a twat"

Dinning and not dining annoys me... "We bought a new dinning table at the weekend"
WHAT IS A DINNING TABLE?!

See also: definately.

I can never believe how many people write rediculous - arghhhh

Also - generally instead of genuinely

Your and you're; there, their and they're; to, too and two.. I could go on!

Of instead of have yes agree.

Don't correct or question though as you sound like a massive patronising twat.

People writing noone instead of no one annoys me more than it should.

Facebook spelling/grammar transgressions always make my eye twitch. Don't get me started on the woman who wished my friend a happy 'yearaversary'.

definately spelling choking as chocking is rediculous.

(Both the misspelled words autocorrected, so fuck knows what excuse anyone has for posting them wrong)
