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?

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

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

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.
