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?

@kittypop that’s amazing! 🤣

Carnt for can't
His instead of he's and vice versa
Discusting
Congradulations
The smorning
Rediculous

There's a bus company in Surrey called Buses Excetera. Makes me want to howl with rage every time I see one.

Loser / looser
Bought / brought
Debt / dept

And maybe I’m naive but I am always shocked at the amount of people posting on social media who don’t know the difference between they’re / there / their and your / you’re

I have a few friends in relatively high, professional positions, both in their mid 40s and they don’t know the difference between lose and loose. The mind boggles!

All of the above irritate me. A pharmacy near me has a sign outside that says 'Back to Independance' instead of independence. It annoys me every time I see it. How does a sign writer not know how to spell it?

Bare in mind

On the conception board, I always see "I think there's a feint line"

You mean "faint"

Agreed. But you can see where it comes from.

There’s a shop near me called (something like) Freddies Toys. All their advertising/Facebook and signs are missing the apostrophe. I can’t shop there.

Definately.

Wrong use of apostrophes
Would of instead of would have
Loose instead of lose
'Hung himself' instead of 'hanged himself'
Grammer instead of grammar

I had to remove a woman off my Facebook as she continually wrote her babies were a sleep. Drove me mad.

I'm also friends with someone who puts 'haw' and 'naw' and 'tawn' instead of how, now and town. That also drives me nuts

This.

'Defiantly instead of definitely and aloud instead of allowed

Wrong use of their, there, they're too

I’ve seen this a lot recently: then instead of than.

Apostrophes for plurals make me sad and angry

'We was' instead of 'we were' really gets my goat. Same as 'we done' instead of 'we did'.

Gorjus

Fecking "YAY or nay"

I feel a little rush of anger whenever I see it!

My Mum-

Hia you watching Strickly tonight?

In the lab at work there is a stationary cupboard. As yet they haven't twigged why every time I walk by I ask if it has moved or not!

I've found my people.. this is a fab thread!

All those mispellings annoy me and I try to forget them & walk away quickly before I just have to correct!

But I have a rather sweet one as an e.g.... ( It's from my lovely friend who's dyslexic and has trouble with phrases)
She says "he's mummycuddled" for mollycoddled. 😍 It makes me smile rather than anything else.

I don't like it when myself/yourself is used incorrectly. People seem to think it is a more formal version of me/you.

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.

I confess I've often made this mistake but you've just simplified it for me! Thank you! @CommanderDaisy

The classic there/their/they're and wear/where/we're always frustrates me! I don't understand how people still get this wrong.

In the throws of passion/death.

I very much doubt that people are also likely to be participating in a session of darts or hoop-la at the same time as undergoing either of those experiences.

This one will be controversial, but: 'Halloween' instead of 'Hallowe'en'

Maybe I'm just old-fashioned and square, though - I still use an apostrophe before writing/typing the word 'phone or 'bus.

He's instead of His and vice versa.

Brought when meaning bought

^ These two wind me RIGHT up!
