To get wound up by slither?

[anxious2017]

Why? Why do people say they'll have a "slither" of cake/pie? It's "sliver". It annoys me unreasonably

Won is a word. Wan is not.

Facility

Not in that context anyway.

Wan is a word!

As in "Pale and wan"

School role instead of school roll. I've even seen that on letters from a school, FFS.

I know that, hence why I said not in that contact. He hasn't "wan" a competition.

Except/ed instead of accept/ed. Drives me barmy!

Wednesday with the 'd' sounded. I know it's normal in some accents. It still winds me up. I'm unreasonable and I know it but it doesn't stop the rage at that bloody d!

My favourite is "bare with me". I either don't know the person well enough for that level of intimacy, or it's simply too cold!

I say Sam-widge instead of sandwich and I just can't help it. I cringe when I hear myself but by then it's too late.
I recently overheard someone on a train say "jamp" instead of jumped.

errm context?

Online thing but I see people type 'draw' instead of 'drawer' all the time. Drives me mad.

Anxious surely that's an accent issue rather than a pronunciation one?

Apparently not. Not here anyway! I asked DH who says it and a friend I work with and they both said they'd spell it wan. Perhaps elsewhere. Accent wise, it would be wun here.

Auto-correct!

"Hear hear"

(I think I just threw up in my mouth a little)

Oh sorry, I mean the to write "here here"

They spell won as wan?? Oh my GOD! No wonder you're annoyed! I hate it when people ask how to spell my name which is a well known animal.

I can't say what it is but it's very easy to spell and there's no variant.

Imagine my surname is Robin. They ask "Is that with an E on the end?

WTF??

"Here here" instead of "hear hear".

Arrghhhh.

People who say they "woofed" down that "slither" of cake!

I had a boyfriend who said "Volumptuous" instead of "Voluptuous"

Someone (school child old enough to know better) today insisted they writ it down. 2 mins explaining wrote and written, and what writ actually means. Cue blank look.

Should of drives me potty.

Brought instead of bought brings out the worst in me too.

Effect/affect
Practice/practise
Your/you're
Should of instead of should have
Their/there/they're

Bought/brought

alot

So hard to type - autocorrect fought me all the way, so why/how is it becoming a thing?

For some reason drafting Education Health and Care Plans seems to make people abandon normal grammar. I'm sick of seeing documents that say "X to improve her literacy. X to receive help with spellings" etc. What's wrong with "X will improve...", for goodness sake? And they never seem to know how to spell "practise" as a verb.
