He’s not his

[LuckyAmy1986]

Anyone else noticed a rise in this?
Eg “love Bradley Cooper his so beautiful”. I hate it. AIBU?

Actually that one grates on me less than the other way round which I see more often now.

We’re having he’s mum round for dinner etc.

At least your example sort of scans if you read it out loud.

It’s because we see more written text from people who never learned to spell. It’s a little bit classist tbh but hey, I never said I was a good person.

My favourite neighbour organises Trickle Treating for the estate every October. She’s lovely but I do wince inwardly every year. I know it’s unkind. 🤷‍♀️

Agree with YippeeKayakOtherBuckets, I see it the other way round far more often and it drives me insane!
‘I like he’s coat’, for example. I used to think it was a typo until I saw it multiple times, by different people.

Yes! I've seen it on MN and all over FB! Does my head in

I thought this was going to be a paternity thread.

Decades of dealing with people online have taught me to be a little accepting of bad spelling/grammar. Especially with autocorrect on modern devices jumping in and "helping" you out before you realise.

I'm less accepting when I have legal documents from solicitors which are riddled with spelling mistakes. Apparently that makes me "odd" . Or so the outfit who lost out on my custom suggested, when I told them why they'd lost out ....

@LuckyAmy1986

Not noticed that one but rampant ignorance is in the increase.

Oooooh Trickle Treating 🤦🏽‍♀️
Not as bad as ‘chester draws’.

And more.

@LuckyAmy1986 IT DOES MY HEAD IN.

No-one knows the difference between he's and his in my part of the world and it's a constant source of anger to me.

The ones that annoy me most are dropping the last letter off. ‘Used’ becomes ‘use’ (‘we use to’); ‘supposed’ becomes ‘suppose’ (‘you aren’t suppose to do that’). Similarly the use of the word ‘worse’ rather than ‘worst’, as in ‘the worse happened,’ rather than ‘the worst happened’.

Considering we interact online is the written word more and more these days, spelling and grammar should be getting better but it’s the complete opposite!

Bloody hell. via the written word.

I have a friend who writes he's instead of his.

It drives me absolutely insane.

I’ve never seen this. How odd!

Then whose who's is he?

Never seen this. Not once. Thank god.

I've only ever read it on here and it drives me mad. I'm not a spelling and grammar snob so it's very rare something like this annoys me and I'm certain I will have made a lot of faults in this post

One I notice a lot on Facebook (never on here) is people writing the smorning. And even worse than that some write this smorning. The smorning is bad enough but this smorning??? I bet they don't say good smorning so why would anyone think this makes sense

‘I seen her’ is another annoying one ( instead of ‘I saw her’.

Also on a thread today someone said ‘we live separate’. People don’t use adverbs anymore!

For my part, I often struggle to spell quite common words like martyr, publicly etc

@HugoSpritz touché my friend

@SucculentCandle sorry!

@YippeeKayakOtherBuckets @Elbeagle I’ve never seen it the other way round!

Are instead of Our - so 'just so proud of are kids'
Bare instead of bear - so 'Bare with me' - I explain at least once a week to someone that that means getting undressed...
Of instead of have
