Spellings that make you cringe

[jarhead123]

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?

Swop instead of swap.
I know they are both accepted spellings but the first one sets my teeth on edge.

Gawjus. Does my head in!

Also “sneak peak” instead of “sneak peek”. And “would of” instead of “would have”.

Chester draws drives me mad
Aloud not allowed

Wandering for wondering
Que / queue instead of 'cue', e.g. "...queue him entering all guns blazing"

Wa-la. It's French. It's fucking voilà. I don't even care if there's an accent or not but wa-la or wah-la or ay wa la is just awful

I saw someone in a FB group earlier write ‘I conquer’ when they meant ‘I concur’.

I know some people are dyslexic, but everyone who can’t spell can’t be. Education must be really bad in some places.

Swop isn't an accepted spelling in my book.

He's instead of his

There is some, rather than there are some
Should of.....
We was instead of we were
enquiry and inquiry
Apostrophes eg sandwich's, chip's
Or even boys's
I await to hearing from you

“On route” drives me mad.

Wheatabix irs NOT!!!! It’s weetabix, only ever seen it spelt incorrectly on MN

Ect instead of etc

Fireworks disbley

Hun as in "u ok hun?". Just no, absolutely not.

Where/were confusion is baffling.

discusting.

Dosent instead of doesn’t

I hate on route

Gosh yes, GearChange. I remember being very shocked at reading that a friend had been given "all the antidepressants, therapy, ect" for her PND.

Also, sandwhiches.

Apostrophes eg sandwich's, chip's
I am militant about apostrophes. I cross them out on signs or add them on if they’re missing. And I don’t care who sees me.

My MIL comments on pictures etc with
'Are isn't she cute'
And it gives me rage so so bad.

Type awww, rrrrr or ya know just type 'isn't she cute'
But ARE is a word not a sound.

I have someone on FB who is constantly 'so existed!!!' really does my head in.

MacDonalds instead of McDonalds - only ever seen this on mn

Collage instead of College, drives me nuts!!

Mistakes in the original post moaning about other people’s mistakes always gets my goat.

Not sure if this is one as a lot of people say it
' I was sat.....
I am sure its either 'I sat' or I was sitting?

A lot- A lot
