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?

[Seniorschoolmum]

Pacific rather than Specific.

Arghhhhhh

[WhyAmISoCold]

Thankyou
Poped (supposed to be popped)
Ect
Arche instead of ark
Draws instead of drawers

These all happen in my workplace, and form part of a professional 'record'. They drive me mad but it won't be taken well if I point them out (I have corrected one before, it got ignored and another I re-labelled as everyone could see it and I think it makes us look incompetant).

[moresugarthanalemon]

@DoubleNegativePanda yes indeed they mean leery. It's a shit show.

Also; his instead of he's
Generally instead of genuinely
Defiantly instead of definitely

Using fucking apostrophes to fucking pluralise.
Using fucking apostrophes to fucking pluralise but not consistently.

"Chris' bed" instead of "Chris's bed". NAMES ARE NOT FUCKING PLURALS

[moresugarthanalemon]

The misuse of 'I'. There's nothing wrong with saying 'me' when it's correct to say 'me'. Classic case of hyper-correction.

[ohcontrarerodders]

fly with the angles instead of angels

[radioactiveimagination]

'Definately' 

[BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil]

Loose instead of lose.

You want to lose weight, not set it free.

[phatamy]

'Low pain fresh hold' - I think you mean 'threshold'

[AlphaJuno]

Vapping instead of vaping and crickey instead of crikey 😫

[Luckypoppy]

Rediculous and perent/perant

[Luckypoppy]

And are instead of our!

And of instead of have.

[moresugarthanalemon]

Eminem is such a good raper

[BillThePony]

Have seen the word damn written as damb and dame a few times on fb.

Discusted irritates me the most though.

[ItWasntMeItWasIm]

Saw on a Facebook group a photo of a dam with the caption "damn looking on point today" Best reply was "Didn't know dams could look on point but it's looking damn good!"

[EmotionallyDestroyed]

@NeitherNowtNorSummat01 PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEASE - for my sanity - correct her!!! I beg of you

[myusernamewastakenbyme]

Found this gem on fb agesss ago...its so awful it deserves another mention

[Monday55]

"Take a seat" or "Have a seat"

I know you're going to Google it.



The one that ranks them all is "your & you're"

[WithAFaeryHandInHand]

Loose instead of lose. Makes me irrationally irritated!

[RebeccaCloud9]

@monday55 I googled it and I'm still none the wiser!

[Cutesbabasmummy]

Someone may already have posted but the confusion of "there", "their" and "they're". Some people I know have high powered jobs and don't know the difference!

[twelv]

Not a spelling but when people type 'we can do this!' Or 'you got this mumma'.

It's bloody awful

[Lilybetsey]

“ Accept” instead of except, expect, ...or vice versa

The missing of the word “to”: as in “I’m going Sainsbury’s” rather than “I’m going to Sainsbury’s”

aks pronounced arks, instead of ask

Ggggrrrrrrr

[TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth]

I had an email from my daughter's teacher bemoaning the fact that she wouldn't "except" help.
I had to resist the urge to put "accept" in bold in my reply!

Surely Noah Fence is a joke, though?
Surely!

[wanderings]

"I need to program it in." It's only ever "program" when it's a noun meaning computer code. Anything else is "programme": TV programme, programme of events, programme the video.

Halloween. It's Hallowe'en! I even knew that at the age of 6. (I couldn't understand why teachers talked of it so seriously though, and I wasn't sure whether witches and ghosts were made up, and I noticed that even teachers didn't seem sure. Misses point of thread)

@LottieLou90 There's a question in an A-level maths textbook which is about "Skellingtons", in total seriousness. The question is about fictional kids' TV programmes, for use in statistics. It also has hybrid names of board games such as "Cludopoly" and "Trivscrab".

[TheViceOfReason]

Stupid twee spellings used by grown women such as "veggies" "eggies" and "beanz".

Fuck right off.

Vegetables (or veg), eggs and beans.

And the overuse of "sugary".
