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?!

Cloths for clothes

I used to work with a woman who would talk about people being unindated with (work).

I don't know if I was particularly sensitive to it or it was a 'word' she'd recently come across and wanted to make use of, but she seemed to use it in every other sentence.

Somehow I managed to avoid correcting her.

A friend I used to work with in a medical based job requiring knowledge of the parts of the digestive system would always refer to the Splenic Flexure as the 'Splendid' Flexure. She would often 'go off on a tandem' instead of a tangent. The funniest one was describing a group of unfriendly women as 'clitty'. I'm sure she meant cliquey, as in they were in a clique - I hope so anyway!

You've done amazing
We did brilliant

I blame football culture for this one.

The worst ones I've heard are 'bump beds' instead of bunk beds (yes, really)

And 'thew' instead of 'few'.... someone on my Facebook who I knew from school did this three or four times before I had to unfollow her for the sake of my own sanity!

"upmost" is one I see on here a lot.

The facebook announcements at Christmas that they've 'all de presents raped an under de tree' is always one I cringe at.

“Foot stall” is one of my bugbears!

@LizzyELane “clitty “ 🙈

It’s a tall boy not chest of drawers. Everyone is BU 🤣

Our headteacher says pacific for specific 😖

I am in hysterics at the 'lady boy' chair...

yes, idiot journos and 'nucular' power. Did no-one listen at school?

I think people just type what they think they hear. A few more examples are:

Should of (have)
I'm doing this why I'm off (while)
I'm chilling, seen as I'm off (seeing)

And my own personal favourite after seeing it twice in the past year (never before that!) is "it's my right away" instead of "right of way".

It just shocks me that these people can get to their age and have a) never been corrected or b) never seen things written down. Some of them, okay, maybe you wouldn't see - but seen as, should of, why .. do these people not read?!

So many people have trouble spelling 'doesn't', dosent seems to be popular, especially on here.

Hospickle
Likkle
Aks (for ask)
Alot
Ect

There is a current thread with lots of the last two scattered by the OP.

stophuggingme My friend, a born and brought up 'South Leeds lad' used to go mad when people said 'ospickle' 'bockle' and 'lickle'.

Oh, and my favourite 'hate' on tv - "drawring". Kevin McCloud on the property programmes is guilty of that one.

He’s not his

Drives me mad

@inwood
Or dropping ly. Flat adverbs exist but I’m sure the people causing this grammatical shift are just being lazy.

I saw a fb comment under a restaurant advertisement someone asked "do you do liver ? In xxxx area "as is asking if the restaurant delivered in that area 😂😂😂

It bugs me when people get
'There Their They're'
'Where We're Were'
'You're Your'
mixed up👎

I've seen 'Farther' written to declare a relationship. It was in a London borough....

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

I used to say it as a child. That was how it sounded to my ear when others said it (Scottish).

Also, I was an old gimmer of 10 before I realised the word is idea rather than ideaR.

When soothing a grammar pedant, always be sure to say, "There, their, they're."

Rest bite is one of the worst
