CHESTER DRAWERS in the wild!

From a person I did not expect to hear it from...

WIBU to have thought that it was a myth?!

I see it depressingly often. Although it's mostly 'draws'. I have to sit on my hands

It's funny when you see someone with overall very good spelling and grammar come out with stuff like this. I know someone that always writes 'surly' instead of surely. Every time. I bite my tongue when they ridicule others for daft mistakes

I saw a recliner chair advertised on Fb marketplace as a "lady boy" recently.

Hearing it could be their accent.

I'm from Yorkshire and it sounds like chester drawers when I say it, but wouldn't write it that way.

I see it on fb quite often

I’ve heard some one insist the name Nevaeh is a myth, but I know a girl called this.
And you might enjoy a small ad that I had to read several times: ‘ For sale, dark red dafferder bridesmaid dress. ‘

I see this on social media all the time, on selling sites mainly. A friend of mine was recently looking for a ‘Chester draws’ on a selling page.. I’m not usually one to correct people, I’m not an a**hole but I was itching to comment on her post to correct her 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Sometimes I see ‘chest of draws’ too which annoys me just as much. 🤣

That took far too long to understand what the hell you were talking about

I defiantly haven't seen that pacific word being used.

I see chest of draws all the time, never seen chester drawers! I have a friend on Facebook who posts food photos and she frequently has spag bowl, gives me the rage.

Nearly as bad as "skelington" and "nucular war"

l used to work with a woman who fancied herself as the boss's PA (because she was learning shorthand and took minutes at meetings) even though she was basically just a typist who sat at the desk opposite me. (We shared an office but l did a different job)
She proudly announced to our office, in the presence of said boss, that she was going to 'replendish' the stationery cupboard.
l couldn't look at him.

Joans3rddaughter 'Nucular' drives me mad. Especially when used by newsreaders on tv.
'Secketry' is another one. Can't they see how these words are spelled?

It is bad enough written down, but to hear someone say it (accent depending) is bad.
I remember seeing someone I knew would never say it had written it on a for sale site, so I'm hoping it is usually down to auto correct.

I'm on a FB page where things like this are shared, it's very funny.

It goes on....

I bet they’ve got a dinning table as well.

Could have been worse, could have been a Chester draws.

Nevaeh is not a myth I have known several. One is about 18. I wasn't keen at first but the name has grown on me mainly because all the girls I have known have been sweet children.

I like to say skellington on purpose.

Did they have an accent? As above in Yorkshire it can sound like chester drawers when said out loud.

I've seen dinning table in the newspaper along with quite a few other mistakes. You would think with spell check that journalists would proof read their work.

Yes I heard a BBC reporter say "nucular power" recently. Don't they have someone to tell them how to read/pronounce things properly?

I've seen a thread on mn where someone needed a restbite.

Ect. What do people actually think it means, it is etc.. ETC.

Dont get me started.

The latest one foor me is the dropping of 'ing'. On of my kids is doing and I know she's copying her bloody teacher.
