To be so irritated by this common spelling mistake

[CaptainCabinets]

I’ve noticed about five different people in the last few days saying ‘rest bite’ when they mean respite.

It’s making my fucking teeth itch!

Great article Daisypond.

It's haitch across the vast majority of ROI. I'm only aware of the community divide in NI, where judging someone's pronunciation of the letter would be viewed as sectarian.

"It's not that big of a deal"
"It's not that sunny of a day"

Why would you put the "of" in? What function can it possibly serve in that sentence?

I think the battle is well and truly lost, but I really don't like 'invite' used as a noun.

I feel the same about the use of 'gift', or even worse, 'gift with' as a synonym for 'give'.

One thing I see often is people spelling woman as women. Eg “Look at that women over there”. They would never get it wrong with men and man.

I have seen things about cyclists peddling. If it's in a race, perhaps they meddle.

To all intensive purposes anyone?
Should of checked first...

It's would of instead of would have that makes me shudder.

My friend says ironical instead of ironic. She also says it a lot because she doesn’t really understand what it means.

I also had a note sent to me at the office asking that I "Fire a shot across his bowels".

😆 Your post reminded me of hearing "dramatical" instead of dramatic.

It seems that one knows what the word "random" means.

Gift as a verb. Hate it so much.

I saw "themselfs" the other day

Your not you're
And
Their not they're
Are both alive and kicking on Instagram 😂

Aitch is definitely without the 'h'.

Was my Dad's nickname (ekename?) since the 1930s cos his name began with H.

It’s ‘loose’ and ‘lose’ for me. Oh, and ‘carn’t’.

Two more lost battles but it pisses me of:

'Literally' used when someone means 'metaphorically'.

'Disinterested' used in place of 'uninterested'.

Annnd... yous as the plural you...that makes me have to bite down very hard on my lip.

Oh yikes - OFF! I can spell, honestly. My phone doesn't know that though

Ooooh, I love 'yous'! Reminds me of Scotland - and like the plural 'you' tense in French etc.

I heard someone on radio 4 this morning saying “more calmer”
I really hate this or more fairer etc it feels and sounds wrong let alone being wrong.

The BBC is generally very fond of 'secetary' and 'nukiller'

Gawjus does it for me....... wtf !

'gifted him with'

What's wrong with 'gave him'?
