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.

And 2 more that irritate me. Using 'peels' instead of 'peals',as in 'they could hear the peel of bells'. FFS. And 'cord' instead of 'chord',as in vocal 'chords'. Although I expect I will be challenged on this one,my friend insists that there is no 'h' in it if it means 'vocal chords' but then she pronounces 'h' as 'haitch' not 'aitch' so what does she know?

Chester drawers

janey that reminds me- digestive track. Makes it sound like your food is racing through your digestive system!

Though vocal cords is right isn't it- as it means the string like things in your throat that vibrate when you speak. Chords means more than one note played together.

I once saw a For Sale post for a chest of drawers advertised as 'Chester draws'. For me that one had to take the gold medal for SPAG foul ups.

Someone I know who is normally good with her grammar and spelling calls dinner, diner. It drives me mad, it's a word she mentions often so it's not a mistake. I think the biggest offender is to, too and two though. Why do people not know the difference?

Fair impressed Scottish dialect

Hotted ?? My exmil is a teacher and would say " I hotted it up??!!"

Sorry for a first post being augmentative, or disputatious or even disagreeing but

"I daredn't"

is " I dared not"

perfectly correct and odd that someone in West Yorkshire does not understand it.

And really people, many of you need to use a dictionary before you moan about others.

Pease instead of please, ffs, you're an adult!

And ThumbWitchesAbroad's Muphry's (sic) Law strikes the argumentative User with many figures in their name.

One I have started to notice a lot recently is we're instead of we'll. Ie; we're go for a walk. It makes no sense!

My Manager always thanks me for for "holding the forte" when she's been on holiday!

Just reading this thread is giving me palpitations. A friend of mine who has a degree and a good job STILL uses your instead of you're and uses the dreaded definately

My old boss (who was an absolute bloody moron) had some crackers that she regularly spelled incorrectly. My favourite was "payed" instead of paid. Always reassuring from an accounts clerk.

I don't think discrete / discreet has been mentioned.

Btw it is Vocal Cords (not chords)

I have a really defiant woman on my FB. She tends to be defiantly doing something or other on most days.

Unicorncatsack, I like you!

I defiantly like you.

I have a friend who spells "honestly" "Ohnestly". Every.single.time.

I've told her several times and still she persists. It makes me want to bury her.

I mean, if your digestive track is on the fritz, it might lead to dire rear? ;)

People who use 'loose' or 'loosing' when they mean 'lose' or 'losing', for example. "Im (sic) always loosing my phone".

Also 'defiantly' when they mean 'definitely'.

I want to shoot them!

Also poncy idiots who write "viola" when they mean "voila". Oh dear, don't try and do foreign if you are going to spell it wrong (or at least autocorrect it wrongly).

Not as bad as....

"And...waalaa!!"

I had to leave the page 😭

I love a good "Chester Draws" and "Sticker Rock". They always cheer me up for some reason. I really hope there's a man out there called Chester Draws

There is a shop near me called "Gawjus".

There's a woman at work who's a bit rough but tries to be posh by putting 'h' in front of things. For example, she writes 'has' instead of 'as' in emails.

Drives me fucking nuts!!!

At a birthday party I attended, one woman rounded the kids up to play a game of 'parcel parcel'. How you can get to adulthood without knowing that it's 'pass the parcel' is mystifying.
