Honestly, to all intensive purposes you will thank me for this one day

[MutePoint]

I'm in no position to join the grammar police but some MNetters might be grateful to learn that

all intensive purposes should actually be: all intents and purposes

per say should be: per se

mute point should be: moot point

Agree wholeheartedly (holeheartedly?) with everything Jju says.

Ive noticed the grammer on hear is shocking and the spellings not to good as well. Im very good at it so PM myself and I can advice you.

A local carvery proudly boasted they served 'real' mash potato...I couldn't give them my custom

Love this thread. I spend far to much time been driven mad by bad grammer and even more time despearing of some of highly paid proffesionals who have being to top unis but cant use spell chek! Sneery?

I am comfortably led down whilst reading this.

stealthpolarbear - noooooo. People at work who have their email signature as

Jane MarriedSurname (formally MaidenSurname)

Give me the rage and the same feeling as nails on blackboard simultaneously!!!!

It's Scottish for "thank god"

Oh oh oh!! Yes! On FB.. when you see Samantha Smith (was Carson). Drives me insane!! Nee! Nee! Nee! Phew.. and breath (ho ho ho)..

A friend of mine sent a message saying she was going to a 'bowels' tournament! It conjured up all sorts in my imagination - not all of it pleasant.
My pet hate is people who say 'was we' or 'we was, wasn't we' Nooooooooo - its just wrong!

The funniest was on a thread here recently- a facebook shite one- something was described as "shabby cheek "

My dad is married to a teacher and is constantly tripping me up! I'm 39 and he said yesterday that the one that gets him is this " if they think that they've got another thing coming " for example.

It's supposed to be " another think coming "

I did not know that and have been guilty of saying the other phrase and I thought I knew it all

Have we had this yet?

I saw this sign in a hotel window a few years ago!

My elderly neighbours either side genuinely thought fornicating meant being two faced....hilarious

This one always bugs me.

my ex used to write Gnow instead of know! he genuinely thought it correct

Therefore theChurch do gooders were a load of fornicators.....We had to tell them

Someone I know always writes how "georgeous" her sons are and it makes me stabby.
Her: Look at my georgeous boys!
Me: Yes, they really are GORGEOUS.
Her: Totally georgeous

SeveredPixieBits that's marginally preferable to "gorjus" though, which I see all over the place.

Each to their own = To each their own

Naval - gazing. Destroyers? Frigates?

What really gets me is useless use of apostrophes. I drove up to traffic lights a while back and noticed a van advertising their business for "whatever-service -it-was(some sort of pet food, I think) For Cat's and Dog's" Truly tragic!

Chilvester Services in Calne High Street advertised on their office front as being "Independant Financial Services" It was like that for some time, before somebody eventually twigged and thank goodness it was changed, Oh the shame of it!

Ah ryt, I shall try 2 remember that n make sure not to be dyslexic etc wake up ffs NOT everyone is perfectly literate!
Have some consideration for those unable to spell correctly...... GOOD for you for being Literate but shame on you for belittling people too!
Good Day!

Jesus - you only need to be perfectly literate if you're going to spend serious money on signwriting on your office frontage, or advertising on your business vehicle - or just get it checked! Nighty-night

People with dyslexia and autocorrect aside, I always think that those who make these grammatical errors don't read literary books, or it would be glaringly obvious. I'm sorry, but I do read through what I post, correct it if I notice an error, and get driven completely batty by these errors.
