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?

Ickle, when they mean little.

"I seen that the other day"

NO! You SAW it!

On route.

NOPE! It's EN ROUTE, it's frigging french!

Seen on FB within the last 24 hours;

Hatters for haters
Roomers for rumours

Ect instead of etc. Etc is short for et cetera hence etc. That one really winds me up.

Ooooh the use of 'hence why'.

Especially when they are trying to sound so so smart.

Colleague puts random
apostrophes in words ending in s...

E.g. It seems’ that this grammar mistake makes my toes curl.

Someone I know uses 'ow' instead of 'oh'. I always say 'are you in pain?'

Oh and they use 'tell' instead of ''til'. 'I'm gonna wait here tell it stops raining'

It's till not 'til .

Till is not a contraction of until; it predates it.

Moresugarthanalemon, “Chris’ bed” is grammatically correct. For names ending in s, you can either add an apostrophe + s, or just an apostrophe to show possession.

Pre-Madonna made me really chuckle

bettytaghedi “threads like these” not “threads like this”

Just spoken to a Tory MP, not usual ERG suspect. They said "the damn has broken" and that the "vast majority" of those present at meeting earlier have handed in no confidence letters.

By one, Aubrey Allegretti, who claims to be an online political reporter for Sky news. I very much doubt they said the “damn” had broken although...

🙄

This week I read twice about people 'laying a "reef" at the Cenotaph'. One was in a local newspaper, about a WWII veteran I happen to know.

Laughed my head off at the thought of him with a huge spliff in his hand. He does like his fags after all!

The MOST annoying of all ‘dept’ for Debt .....

No - 'que' for 'queue' is the MOST annoying! It doesn't even make sense. I could understand 'cue'.

heals instead of heels - aarrgghh

Tomo for tomorrow. Gives me the rage.

@mamansnet Not a spelling mistake, but here's a spoken mistake often made at my local Remembrance Sunday parade, by a uniformed military man or woman, usually barked in an appropriate voice.

"Anyone else wishing to ray a leath… lay a wreath, please do so now!!"
But they didn't make that mistake this year.

As the older sibling to my little brother, I was expressly forbidden to point out his mis-spellings, or to point out when he said things wrongly, such as sounding the K in "This is the pirate's k-nife", because I might dent his confidence, so I had a childhood of not being able to correct them - how frustrating!

@layercake9 I remember at the age of eight, I tried to point out to an adult I that James's room could be written James' room, because I had seen it printed: I could have sworn it was written as such on his door. He insisted "no, wanderings, all the things that belong to me have an S".

Does anyone no where I can buy....blah blah blah
Brought instead of bought
And chest of draws has to be the worst

I raise you Mr Chester Draws!🤣

the worst one for me is when people spell psycho as physcho, it drives me mad! again i know some people can't help it but i can think of a handful of people who spell this wrong regularly who aren't dyslexic

Mother-in-laws and father-in-laws etc instead of mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law.

Seeing those a lot lately.
