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?

Ds and I were out on a walk today at Felixstowe, and saw a sign which said "Caution, verticle drop"!

It was a proper sign from the Environment Agency too, not just a hand written sign!

We were both rather incredulous.

'We're on route'

Makes my head want to explode every time I see it.

Lovely friend of mine writes 'awe' instead of 'aw' on Facebook, as in 'awe, how cute'. She says it every bloody post a lot and I always think 'wow, she's pretty easily awed by things.'

Threw instead of through.

Another for Chester drawers here!!

Que (queue), not on MN but crops up a lot on a FB group. Sometimes get cue instead, which is a word.

Mixing up advice and advise!!! Ugh
Or adding a k onto traffic... traffick 😐

Your not you’re is my pet peeve.

Correct use of apostrophes: the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

EverythinK.... everythink has been sorted....

Cum out tonite.... it's 1 extra letter to write come and tonight...... ffs

Not a pet peeve, but I did see some refer to a brat on here as a 'Pre Madonna'. It was ages ago, but always stick with me.

Accept/except
Defiantly/definitely
On here earlier I saw someone say they ‘swam to sure’ instead of ‘shore’

Self-depreciating instead of self-deprecating

Not a spelling but I had a meeting with a woman who said pacific and pacifically instead of specific and specifically.

Noah fence

Chat a box.

It's chatterbox 😂

Gallicos, correct use of apostrophes is always good, as is correct use of capitals, e.g. the difference between

Helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and

Helping your uncle jack off a horse.

I’ve just seen ‘wright’ instead of ‘write’ in a thread on here too

Anol,instead of and all.

Baited breath.

Aks instead if ask. It's just fucking utterly nonsensical and makes people sound about 40 IQ points lower.

Makes my teeth itch when I see 'proffesional'

No, you don't come across as very 'professional' if you can't spell the word!

Swop. Eye bleeding territory.

Pheonix and Pheobe

I know why this happens but they’re just wrong!

I have a sil who will post on FB.And its all letters.You basically have to decipher what she means.

And i would not mind but some of the words are only short of a letter or 2.But the way its written,hurts my eyes.

He come around....instead of came around
I was sat...instead of sitting
Could of , would of, should of - instead of could have, would have , should have
there instead of they're
Where, were and wear all being mixed up
Principle instead of principal
Stationary instead of stationery
Draws instead of drawers

And for the worst - My Dh and me were.. DS and me - instead of Dh and I, DS and I etc .....drives me nuts. Take the other person out of the sentence folks, and see if using me on its own makes sense e.g Me were - not hard.

Lovely friend of mine writes 'awe' instead of 'aw' on Facebook, as in 'awe, how cute'. She says it every bloody post a lot and I always think 'wow, she's pretty easily awed by things.'

I posted a pic of an old school friend on FB a few weeks back and her mum commented ‘Arrggh, you look lovely X’. I did wonder why her daughter looking lovely would make her scream

Definately, definatly, defiantly... anything that isn’t definitely 🤬🤬

I also hate it when people can’t get a simple expression right. A woman at work who gives out corporate freebies always emails us telling us it’s ‘first come first serve’. Grrrrrr!!! Or ‘The proof’s in the pudding’. No it isn’t!!!
