'Can i get' in America is normally 'i'll do the salad, a steak and i'll do a coke'

Someone i know says ' no kams' for qualms 😮

Fstar · 23/10/2019 21:35

Oh and whalla for voila

BareKneesDeCourcy · 23/10/2019 21:40

Irregardless, I could care less.

Tesco have a poster up apologising for the 'inconvience' of a till being out of action.

One lady listed every item of clothing and footwear from her wedding on a FB selling page, from her 'satan' wedding dress to 'satan' shoes and even the poor 'satan' flower girls outfits. 6 posts of Satan-y goodness

Cue or que instead of queue.
Can't stand 'on route' either!

I was watching itv today and this girl said "if you wear that dress out, no one will batter an eyelid" 😂

On eBay, you can often see sets of bowels for sale. Necklesses, too.

There's a bloody company here that calls itself My Pant's. Aargh.

This is terrible but I honestly crack up every time I see someone talk of their dead relative as "my guardian angle"
Those lovely angles.

Blowandgo · 23/10/2019 23:15

Lots of angles ‘flying high’ in Ireland because they are defiantly going to heaven. How these people help their children with homework baffles me. My cousin is always talking about how well her kids are doing in skool. Almost makes me weep.

When I worked in a school, back in the day, during National Literacy week, we were sent huge posters to display within school, advertising National Literacy Week, and how it would concentrate on Vocablary. Sad to say, it was sent by the Ministry for Education...
I also spent weeks, teaching my DD that it was should have, could have, would have, and then received a letter from her school advising me that I should of received her school report by now. AARRGGHH!! I also had to check the spelling list she had to learn every week, sent home by her teacher. Sad to say, I had to cross out the incorrectly spelled words and insert the correct one, before she could start learning them. She now has a Masters in Education and a BA in English. It makes me smile when she rings me to check a spelling!

mummumumumumumum · 23/10/2019 23:17

I unfriended a lass I went to school with because she got a 'hampster' and all her posts were about it

ExitLightEnterNight · 23/10/2019 23:21

An angle defiantly going to heaven GrinGrin I'm imagining it being sent to heaven against its wishes like an unwilling child being sent to bed and saying stroppily, "Oh but I don't want to go! You can't make me!" Grin

I've just seen a post on fb advertising a "why dangle lense" for "swap lense cameras only" ConfusedGrin

alltoomuchrightnow · 23/10/2019 23:23

this just came up in my FB photography group

Just seen my first 'spag bowl' on FB. I feel like I belong here now
alltoomuchrightnow · 23/10/2019 23:24

sorry only just noticed the post above mine!

twigglett99 · 23/10/2019 23:26

Someone I work with sent an email round to arrange something and said - all those who agree say ‘i’

ffswhatnext · 23/10/2019 23:27

Wasn’t there a literacy scheme introduced years ago that a lot of people were against. It was really confusing learning how to read and write.
It was fazed out.
If I didn’t dream it, the age group would be in their 20/30’s.
Would explain some of the spelling mistakes that are taken as the norm iyswim

chrisie16 · 23/10/2019 23:34

AuntImmortelle, I think you'll find that's advice:)

You advise someone, when you give advice x

It made me smile though.

Fairypiggy · 23/10/2019 23:39

Ffswhatnext yes I think in the 1960s/70s they was a system called ITA where pupils were taught a different reading/writing system first that was more like phonetic spelling and then taught regular spelling later.

chrisie16 · 23/10/2019 23:51

When I was looking for a flat, the Estate Agent's blurb said "close to local bus roots". I didn't take it, for obvious reasons...

chrisie16 · 23/10/2019 23:56

Oh! Just remembered, my friend's stone chip on her car windowscreen went virral. I could only say, "Really? It did that? Gosh."

chrisie16 · 24/10/2019 00:14

And I hate it, when people say, e.g. She tripped over the pavement and fell on the floor. She fell on the ground! The floor is inside, the ground is outside. Isn't it?

Mumbliboo · 24/10/2019 00:21

I also hate how Bolognaise now seems an acceptable spelling because people can't spell Bolognese.

There are so many errors in the messages we get from DS' school it's beyond a joke.. should of was the worst, but also your instead of you're, rogue apostrophes etc. Drives me bonkers!
