I know some people can't help it, I get that.

BUT I've just seen a photo on FB of a Mum & daughter and someone has comment 'so pressures' - I am assuming they mean precious!!

Any other classics you've seen?

Names spelt wrong like Zackery instead of Zachary.

Aloud instead of allowed

INoahGuy · 02/11/2018 22:31

“Would of” instead of “would’ve.”

curiousthing · 02/11/2018 22:33

Has instead of as 'can't wait to go shopping has I haven't been for ages '

jarhead123 · 02/11/2018 22:33

Someone on my FB shared a post about other mistakes, apparently someone actually wrote 'Noah fence' and 'I hate grapes. They discuss me' LOL

DanielRicciardosSmile · 02/11/2018 22:33

Rest bite instead of respite.

Nursejackie1 · 02/11/2018 22:33

Someone on my facebook always posts about how board they are

DanielRicciardosSmile · 02/11/2018 22:34

Oh and angles instead of angels.

TK1930 · 02/11/2018 22:34

‘I brought it at the shop’

Inaminuteplease · 02/11/2018 22:35

Someone on my Facebook always writes defiantly when they mean definitely

BikeRunSki · 02/11/2018 22:35

I drive past a nursery called “Sunny Dayz” occasionally.

Athena51 · 02/11/2018 22:35

You see 'reign it in' when they mean 'rein it in ' a lot, that irritates me.

ree348 · 02/11/2018 22:36

His instead of He's

NothingTraLaLa · 02/11/2018 22:36

Upmost when they mean utmost.

screamslikeabanshee · 02/11/2018 22:38

Loose instead of lose
Chest of draws
Wardrope

ileclerc · 02/11/2018 22:38

It's to bloody hard with autocorrect to type them wrong but I have lots!

ileclerc · 02/11/2018 22:38

And I cocked up with a spelling mistake. Serves me right.

KrispyKremes · 02/11/2018 22:38

I have a friend who always uses "why" instead of "while"

She's northern and I'm southern. So could be a regional thing.

"Little coffee why I wait for school to finish" etc.

LittleBittyKitty · 02/11/2018 22:39

These two give me the absolute rage.

Chester draws. Just no. It's A CHEST OF DRAWERS!

Sequences. No. They're SEQUINS!

WTAF is wrong with some people?

TheChippendenSpook · 02/11/2018 22:40

Carnt annoys me.

I have also seen carn't.

BIWI · 02/11/2018 22:41

@KrispyKremes. No way is that a Northern thing! It's an ignorant thing

Spaceman101 · 02/11/2018 22:42

Wandering when it's meant wondering

Polkapjs · 02/11/2018 22:44

Defiantly must be a phone thing as I see it a lot
Your not you’re is my pet peeve

DontMakeMeShushYou · 02/11/2018 22:44

Greatful

There's defo something that grates about that one but it ain't the great spelling!

HeartStrings · 02/11/2018 22:44

Gawjus instead of gorgeous
