Just saw an advert on a local selling group for a Hampster cage with additional hampster bedding ...

'Wether' instead of Weather/whether.

@Monestasi.
That wasn't my post.
That was posted by someone else in response to a previous post of mine about the word "mischievous". Which I thought was all in the spirit of the thread.

I can’t be asked with this thread.

TildaKauskumholm · 22/10/2019 23:06

Do you have to eat Spag Bowl at the dinning table?

StripyHorse · 22/10/2019 23:14

Swiftier as a naive teenager I genuinely thought that's what it was (so went round saying it at times I probably shouldn't).

I once saw someone listing their religion as CV. Also a self-cert sick note with 'Man flu'.

carriemathisonshandbag · 22/10/2019 23:14

This thread is rediculous

KitchenDancefloor · 22/10/2019 23:18

NotGreatBob · 22/10/2019 23:27

Brufen is a branded form of Ibuprofen. Below is an example of what I hate.

Oooh I’m fuming/raging/other exaggerated shite word, just been Tescos and this selfish old man was taking up the whole isle!

O RLY? THE WHOLE FUCKING ISLAND? YOU ABSOLUTE PEANUT.

KitchenDancefloor · 22/10/2019 23:28

[Lots of finks and breaths round these parts. Only a few sanks so far. That was a real head scratcher the first time I saw it.]

I also have a colleague who eats spaghetti carnabara 🍝

Spam Bol is what my auto correct has given for spag bol 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m getting more and more frustrated with should/could/would of!!!

Omfg! It’s ‘ve or have!!

VenusTiger · 23/10/2019 00:40

@raining wanes is actually weans (or wee’uns) in N.I. sounds as wanes though.

@Evian 😂😂

isabellerossignol · 23/10/2019 04:29

A salon near me had a huge promotional poster made recently saying 'now offering sports messages' or something like that.

Conversely someone on a Facebook thread recently said to me 'I'll massage you'. No. No you will not.

CatteStreet · 23/10/2019 06:22

I never realised 'wean' came from wee'un. Makes perfect sense.

'On' (or 'of') 'a' morning (as opposed to 'in the morning') are regional. The brought/bought thing is perhaps not regional as such, but I think more than a simple error - I've known very educated people do it.

Ibuprofen (alongside the brufen confusion - I've known doctors call it that) is hard to say as it's written. A bit like February. There's a tendency to insert an extra 'r' into the former ('ibruprofen') and leave the first 'r' out of the latter ('Febuary' - which I am guilty of, but believe (I would, of course) it's a legitimate variant of the pronunciation).

I'm a big yous/youse fan. Don't use it as it doesn't occur in my variant of English, but I love the capacity for differentiation it gives (and I deplore the snobbery that has decided to label it uneducated or 'wrong').

CatteStreet · 23/10/2019 06:24

I apologise for the proliferation of parentheses. Not nice to read, I know.

KamikazeIdiot · 23/10/2019 06:28

Can't believe mumsnetters are laughing at facebookers' spelling.

Can you bare it?
Are you balling your eyes out?
You should of left it in the passed.
