To ask for the most random misspelling you’ve ever seen?

[Avelosa]

Lightheaded and not judgey as I often spell things wrong!

Someone posted on a recipe group on Facebook asking for ideas of what to make with some beef mince. One of the replies was ‘spaghetti ballanayse’

Anyone else seen any great ones!?

I suppose I was thinking more of the ones like “champoleen” or whatever it was for trampoline. Surely that person can’t have thought they knew the spelling, and a bit of googling would have got them there.

My Dad is half-French. DSis is terrible at spelling (but doesn’t give a shit and laughs it off!). She once text our dad asking him to pick up some kerwassonts 😂 going by how she’d heard family saying it over the years!

Local bakery have a sign up ”we do not except cash”

Riv this is why if I'm unsure on how to spell a foreign word I use Google mic and say it phonetically and hope they work out what I mean 😂

Despite me constantly correcting him, my husband often adds lettice and chrisps to our shopping list. It really winds me up 🙈

Great idea @AnneOfCleavage!
The best I saw was an advert for the “New Literacy Dairy”.
Presumably the grandma chequed bow vine e-diction.

per say

I know people who should just have a hobby, because they think they have a "past-time."

@MrsFruitcake

Micheal instead of Michael - see it loads. Someone was selling a Michael Kors bag on FB the other day and spelt the name the wrong way - I was a bit - if the item is presumably right in front of you and you still can't get it right there's something amiss!

Some people are actually called Micheal, it's on their birth certificate. I have always assumed their parents couldn't spell.

I accidentally emailed one of the engineers at my work, called Rodger, Dear Todger

I sometimes wonder if people who make the really bizarre spelling mistakes are using the Google Mike and it has just put in an approximation based on how they say it.

Sproost up for spruced up!

Mic not Mike, thanks autocorrect. It can happen to anyone [

Birth instead of berth when describing caravans for sale - a 6 birth caravan makes the mind boggle

@CaptainMyCaptain I was just going to say I love Google Mike. Sounds like there’s a little man who helps you

@Lansonmaid I worked at a campsite that also sells caravans. The amount of times that I had to correct the managers social media posts and sales adverts as he’d put birth instead of berth. You’d think if it’s your job you might actually know

A health professional I used to work with always wrote Anti Natal in her records.
2 degrees and still did'nt know the difference between anti and ante.

Come and buy our lovely ‘Holly Reefs’

🤨

Litigration for Litigation, on sign outside the office of a firm of solicitors.

And ‘we’ve donated to the new natal dept of the local hospital’

Not so much a spelling mistake - they just thought it was new natal rather than new natal.

Same people used ‘personal productive equipment’ for PPE and they’ve even passed a health and safety course!!

As a first term student teacher, many many years ago, I was in a primary school doing observation. The class teacher whose lesson I was observing put the word 'hampster' on the board as a pet.
I saw a fairly new Mercedes Sprinter van with a very professional looking signage job, it was carrying bridel dress'es
Not a spelling one but boy in a Year 9 class, when we were doing Pythagoras' Theorem, insisted that the 'hypotenuse' was pronounced Harry Potter's pubes. Every year when I taught the subject I had a chuckle at that.
Doing a stint in a primary school the children were writing about their pets and one boy wrote 'yrntn'. Eventually I gave up and asked him to read it to me, My chickens live in a cage made of 'wire netting'.

I know a Jimmy who ordered at Starbucks and was then handed a cup with 'Shiml' written on it!

A letter from a large insurance company to a customer several times offering him a retirement 'penis'!

Shades of Mde De Gaulle who, on being asked what she was looking forward to when her husband retired, was heard to reply 'a penis' which created a bit if a silence until they realsied that in her French accent she was saying 'happiness'.

In a pub quiz we were asked a question about Edward the eleventh, aka Edward II

Another pub quiz one was What three Scottish teams have the word Thistle in their names. We got the obvious two but couldn't get the third, in the interval I approached the 90 year old quiz-master and said Do you realise that Inverness and Caledonian Thistle is only one team?, at the start of the second half he corrected his q to two teams.

My favourite mistake in a mumsnet subject header was "I've been walking around with my labia sticking out all day" . It turned out that she meant label, but it made me wonder what the hell she was wearing.

Coffee was "cofy" on the side of a catering van at a horse fair.
