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.

I trust him explicitly.

My current bugbear is slither in place of sliver. You did not have a slither of cake, auntie Dawn.

OnceThere I knew exactly which error you were referring to before finding you stating it later on in the thread!!!!

Jayisfor I have also seen "in tents and purposes" - I mean, that doesn't even make sense but they were quite serious in their statement!!

Absolutely loving this thread - it's almost like therapy for those who get so irritated at grammar and spelling errors! And.....breathe!!

ha ha tuktuk I think I am just reading the thread you got that one from!!!

oh, just remembered an advert I saw a while back on a Facebook selling group - someone was selling things as they were redecorating in "shabby sheek" style!! I hope she doesn't get much of it online as not sure she'll find a lot using those keywords!

'Of' and 'have' 'exciting' and 'exiting' so annoying

Is it Millie's Trust by any chance? I was on this forum and had to hide it from my timeline due to the 'chocking' it made me book with rage too!

Boil* typical I did a mistake on a thread about spelling mistakes!

Northend I have also seen "in tents and purposes"

There's a Victoria Wood sketch where she's camping with a friend and they're struggling to put up the tent. Goes something like:
"What do you mean you've never been camping? Your mother said you were always in tents!"
"Intense. She said I was always intense..."

Oh, dear. After this thread, I read a post with chocking on another one.
I almost asked if it had been on purpose.

Not written but on tv just now, a presenter going past an old building on a bus said "Once we're past this Ram Shack, the atmosphere should improve" .....

Sat here with 8 year old dd watching 'Say yes to the dress - bridesmaids ', I ask her what's going on and she says, '' That girl wants that dress but only in a Pacific colour'' - eye starts twitching and I calming explain that Pacific is an ocean and she means 'specific'.
''Ok mum'' she says. 1 minute later, ''Mum, the cats clicking the carpet on the stairs again. Why does he always choose that Pacific step?'' Argggghhhhh.

Trickle treating

'Text' drives me mad when people are talking about something they've already done - i.e. 'I text him last night'. How can you have already done something that's in the future tense?!

Loooool instead of lol annoys me greatly - 'lots of of of of of laughter' makes no sense!

I once put a pair of suede boots on Ebay. I got a message asking if they were "genuine swede". I replied that I couldn't be certain, I had a strong suspicion they were actually turnip.

"Genuine swede" ha ha ha!!!

I've just seen another one on Facebook. "Diary" instead of "dairy". Someone asking how to make a diary free lasagne.

We say skellington and trickle treating, but only in fun. I also call choux buns 'chocs' buns, because they usually have a lovely chocolate topping. Anyone hearing me say it in the supermarket probably sniggers to themselves!

Oh god, "genuine swede" made me llllllol!!!! (that would be right wouldn't it vcrees6?)

I haven't seen it for a while on MN, but I loathe 'I'm sat here in tears'. Mostly because you can't point out that it should be 'sitting' as the poor sod is already crying.

I read once that trolls deliberately include this type of error in their trolling because it drives people nuts.

We promise fajitas fadge-ittuhs because apparently we're twelve and now the DC do too but they don't know we're joking.

It's like when you direct someone to Pendants' Corner and some twat says "I think you mean Pedants' Corner".

I KNOW. THAT'S THE JOKE.

Ha ha. Hovering gets me. It's hoovering.

I have just come across this:

Fair impressed.

Not very, no, fair.

Oh so so many! Rest bite care had me twitching last week but couldn't say anything as she was obviously in a bad place emotionally already, I've deleted someone on fb who always uses too - such a waste of letters.
Mom instead of Mum is regional though like Ma or Mam.
