I’ve just heard

[TheSheepofWallSt]

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?!

Bought and brought. I know someone who is a primary school teacher that gets this wrong. I can feel the rage building up at the mere thought of it.
'Husband just bought me a cup of tea in bed'. Had to restrain from asking her where he went out to buy it from!

To be on tenderhooks.

It's a mute point.

The font of all knowledge.

Waiting with baited breath

I wonder what bait. Cheese? Worms? Maggots?

Baited breath amuses me .

What about doing something of your own back!?

@SmallChickBilly, you're right! My rage brought me to their level. I appreciate the hand back up. Female is the adjective!

Some of this must be down to dodgy auto correct .

He's instead of his, upmost instead of utmost, are instead of our......I'm getting intolerant in my old age!

Bear with me. Grrrrrrr

An ex colleague was Russian and often said spreadshit instead of spreadsheet but at least she had an excuse

The baited breath surprised me. I didn't realise it wasn't spelled like that! Language is fascinating.

The use of wreaked instead of wrecked seems to be prominent at the moment

@henryscatoscar bear with me is correct

Wallah/walla appears frequently on American blogs

(Voila)

Token jester (gesture) on FaceBook
I borrowed him some money
I arksed him a question
Do they want some crisp?

Cue

I was talking to my DH about Christmas...then queue/que my MIL starts butting in with what she wants!

Spellcheck doesn’t even recognise que as a word!

a friend of mine sent a message saying her daughter had chicken pots.. i thought it was a hilarious case of autocorrect until i saw her a few weeks later...

No lend and borrow are used properly in Ireland
I’ve never heard anyone ask to lend something from someone

On fb “ I took the kids for food anal (and all) ehhh
Fb “rip you’re with the angles now” oops
Neighbour “ I’m going to learn my ds how to drive” she’s lovely so I don’t want to correct her and sound like an arsehole

Oh people who make comments along the lines of "They learned me to drive". Someone on a different Mn thread I read earlier made a comment on something and said, "That'll learn me''...It's TAUGHT/TEACH I want to scream but I say nothing. It makes me cringe. I work in education and shockingly I have heard colleagues use "learned me" and I am stood there cringing thinking "Please don't think i speak like that" to whomever we're talking to. Don't even get me started on."
"She borrowed me her pen" etc...Aargh!

That chester drawers ad up-thread is classic...not only do we have "chester drawers" but we also have the hideous "need gone" phrase.
Parents need these chester drawers gone ASAP.

Absolutely hilarious.

Bare in mind!

No, I do not want to imagine you in the nude! 😂

@stouffer it's 'piece' not sangwich or sandwich. That would only have been said to help you understand. Christ!!

@namechange1041

Please allow me to add “lose” & “loose” to your excellent list.

Have a friend who texts me things like, “I need to loose some weight” or “Hubby thinks Boris will loose the election”.
I text back and say: you do not need to lose any weight!!! I’m sure she thinks I’m wrong because it’s loose loose loose over & over again.
Drives me mad.

Hahaha! I’ve not read the whole thread but I love mistakes like these, you can grab some amazing eBay bargains with a bit of spelling error searching!

I should of instead of have
I like he's hat instead of his
like others have said I borrowed him a pen...….NO he borrowed the pen from you.
Brung!! He brung me a jumper.. NO he brought you a jumper!
I should of stayed at home...……..I should HAVE stayed at home
I could of done that......I could HAVE done that
I teached or learned him to speak....You taught him and he learnt.

This is a genuine tip from eBay, look form badly spelt items as the biddings will be scarce and you might pick up a bargain!
