Hen due or stag dye drives me mad 😂

helen650 · 24/10/2019 09:58

Whoops and I spelt it wrong too !

Belle074 · 24/10/2019 10:06

Just seen ‘turns out I’m long sited needs some specs !’ on someone’s fb update 🤦‍♀️.
Also saw someone put ‘shoofer’ instead of chauffeur 😂

Blimey aren’t you a smug bunch of supercilious degenerates. What hideous, judgemental individuals you must be to endlessly feel compelled to have opinions on things that have nothing to do with their morals, intelligence or personality. In revealing things about other people you are really only saying something about yourselves.

WholeLottaRoland · 24/10/2019 11:15

@Blowandgo walldrobe makes perfect sense to me. My OH prefers the floordrobe, however Grin
One of the teachers at DSs school insists on saying them instead of those. Gives me and ex-H something to giggle about when we go to school presentations. Luckily the boys know better, or we might not find it so funny!

Jamzvtho · 24/10/2019 11:23

Some of these people you are laughing at could have dyslexia or learning disabilities, struggled at school etc. It's actually quite nasty to take the piss out of people just because they might not have the same intellectual abilities as yourself.

Jamzvtho · 24/10/2019 11:26

Or you know, perhaps they learned their way of speaking from their own family and upbringing. But let's all look down our noses and get a laugh at the dumb people, right Hmm it must make you all feel so much better about yourself. What's next?

JustOneSquareofDarkChocolate · 24/10/2019 11:33

I try not to judge when I see errors like this EXCEPT when it is teachers at DS' school. Then I judge like crazy when DS are asked "what you done at the weekend?" and "your" and "you're" seem to be used interchangeably...

Jeez OP it may be worth asking MNHQ to add lighthearted to the thread title.

That's the spirit I've taken it in anyway not to judge or look down my nose at others although anyone who spells it hampster really needs a dictionary for Christmas.

Jamzvtho · 24/10/2019 11:47

Lighthearted laugh? Would you laugh at the secondary school SEN children who cannot spell well, just for a giggle.

BlooperReel · 24/10/2019 11:49

Pfft my own husband says 'more better' too and I judge him to his face, he argues it makes sense to him, so he carries on, he also has dyslexia, do I get extra mean points? Hmm

Get a grip.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 24/10/2019 11:55

Just adults like myself who say Hampster.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 24/10/2019 11:56

Blooper how do you sleep at night you awful human being? Grin

Really wanted to type human bean then.

Well that's our fun over Shock

Jamzvtho · 24/10/2019 12:18

he also has dyslexia, do I get extra mean points? hmm

Yeah actually, imo you do. I have a friend with dyslexia who doesn't have the best spelling but I don't judge her or put her down or make her the joke. Why would I want to make them feel bad about themselves?

BlooperReel · 24/10/2019 12:34

Considering I am pulling him up on saying 'more better', I don't think I am slagging off his spelling there Hmm.

Some dramatic human beans on here Grin. Just for you tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz

Biddie191 · 24/10/2019 14:29

Not RTWT as have to do the school run, but neighbour today said he'd be lighting a bomb fire. Was genuinely surprised when asked about the explosives involved.

myusernamewastakenbyme · 24/10/2019 14:53

I've just seen a skellington outfit for sale on fb.....

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 24/10/2019 15:19

cactusthief et al... you have some odd idea of what constitutes 'fun' if the best you can come up with is to upset people who don't fall within your literacy standards scale. Bit pathetic really.

Excluding the earlier posters, it's not a 'lighthearted' thread for the most part either and actually, I would expect such a highbrow crowd to be able to make the distinction.

But hey, what price your 'fun'?

WholeLottaRoland · 24/10/2019 15:31

Oh, and I've just seen a LinkedIn post calling someone a clog in the machine...

cactusthief · 24/10/2019 15:48

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe

Ooo that's me told Hmm

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 24/10/2019 15:55

Well, that 'free speech' on a public chat-board door swings both way, doesn't it? I'll leave you to your 'fun'. :)

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 24/10/2019 15:56

I’m on tenderhooks waiting for the next example...

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 24/10/2019 16:54

It may be some thyme Bugger

Pursefirst · 24/10/2019 17:29

The most head-scratching one I've witnessed (so far): pusgetty.

I assume the fool person meant spaghetti, but who knows?
