Just seen my first 'spag bowl' on FB. I feel like I belong here now

[omikron]

I'm honoured.

Once... a long time ago when I was still on FB. A friend was always updating on how well she was doing in collage.

I often pictured her with glue and bits of paper.

We should teach kids young so they have these things right from the gecko.

Otherwise they'll end up like a bowl in a china shop.

But for now I'm going to say "Olive-wah" to you all. I shit you not.

I blame all the bowled people. It's because they haven't got any hair.

'That's a gibbon' instead of 'That's a given'...

Still my all-time favourite but sadly a one-off I think

I say haff past instead of half past but I do know how it's spelt regional pronunciation

I was expecting ‘spag bowl’ to be like those Buddha bowls...only more carby. Disappointed not to see artistically arranged pasta.

Here in South Wales it's ha'past but again, I know how to spell it.

Chester draws gets me too
And affects/effects
Some people can’t help it, I for example am dyslexic so I wouldn’t know if a word was wrong to check it, sometimes I just know it doesn’t look Quite right. Also my friends kids have verbal dyspraxia so they can’t sound out words due to their speech so affects their spelling - something my friend recently told me. I can’t stand text speak though, and the use of youse which is very common locally.

I've heard of Panda bowls (pound a bowl) too.

I remember Spag Bog from when I was a student in England in the (ahem) Seventies.

I hate the word fuming, detest it being spelt fumin' but the worst is fewmin

What about fumming? That misspelling always sounds worryingly like it might be something that would appear on urban dictionary

I was at a meeting recently where we discussed having a tannoy system fitted in the building. When the minutes were circulated I discovered we were actually considering a tanoi. A public address system made in Vietnam, I presume...

Whenever there's an event on at the Exhibition Centre here I have a friend who always says she's going to the Expedition Centre

In the SEN parenting world on SM you see a lot of people talking about having 'rest bite'

I've just seen a new one... Someone on a cooking group taking about making cababs

Its ok though, as I have a lovely big coloured Spag Bowl,made in Italy,that I serve up the Spag Bol in.

'That's a gibbon' instead of 'That's a given'...

My new favourite! I'd love to know the logic behind it - after all Joey's 'Moo point' did make a strange sort of sense.

'Women' when the person is writing about a singular woman

Also, 'turnt'. That one really winds me up!

The Chester Draws thing - although my 20yo DD can spell it correctly as chest of drawers, she insists that drawers is pronounced 'draw-rers' rather than 'draws' .

I'm another person who has to tie their hands behind their back when they see spelling mistakes on forums. I know there are all sorts of reasons why someone may not be able to spell, or they're typing quickly on a smartphone, but I still have a strong desire to correct.

I saw a “Noah Fence” a few months ago, and still haven’t recovered.

Is it no a bowl of spag bol?

This reminded me of one I saw the other day about a 'head syc' (Ed psych). Took me a minute to work that one out.

Someone on another thread has just talked about their NDN living in "discussing shit" for years. I couldn't help myself and pointed it out with a

My DSes are always doing things purposefully when they mean purposely. I’ve tried explaining the difference but they don’t believe me. I’ve failed as a parent.

My biggest hate is could/would/should OF instead of HAVE .

A lot of people use ect instead of etc and que instead of cue seems to be popular. I dislike invite instead of invitation. The other day a poster said I borrowed a friend my dress!

Talk about strangling the English language.
