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’Grin

Anyone else seen any great ones!?

Chicken four heaters. From a FB friend of OH who is lovely but no idea how to spell.

Not so much a spelling mistake - they just thought it was new natal rather than new natal. or maybe autocorrect put new instead of neo and they didn't notice. Wink

Drove past a country pub during lockdown, it was advertising takeaway 'Larger'.

But the team name isn't Inverness AND Caledonian Thistle anyway - it's Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Wonder if it was an out of date quiz and he was including Meadowbank Thistle?

My sister was on the phone and said her name was Anne with an e. A letter came addressed to Ms Enn (Surname). She couldn't stop laughing.

There was also one AIBU...to shit on the floor. She meant sit.

Written by a nurse to describe a patient , Poly instead of poorly....

I've seen a variation of Georgie -Lee, being written as Jorgi-Lea

Taken for granite instead of granted.

I must be a bit dense but could someone explain Retirement 'penis' please. Literally cannot work out what it's meant to be. I've got everything else inc flaming yawn but this one escapes me. Thanks.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 16/07/2020 17:02

ALOUD for ALLOWED
CARNT for CAN'T
ARSKT for ASKED

Avelosa · 16/07/2020 17:11

@AnneOfCleavage I assumed it was pens, like when you see the adverts offering a fancy pen for signing up? I could be wrong though!

'Retirement Penis' could be mangled pension, autocorrected?

EverdeRose · 16/07/2020 17:31

A woman on a facebook group I'm on asked for a slow cooker recipe for 'dolphinose potatoes'

EverdeRose · 16/07/2020 17:34

More grammar than spelling but a local pub near me has put up a huge sign outside saying 'WE ARE REOPEN'

First grad role. In the office with a guy who told anyone and everyone how intelligent he was.
Overheard a phone conversation asking if he could please speak to "Gee-off" shortly followed by, "ah apologies, hi Geoff..."

Bentley111 · 16/07/2020 17:45

Not a spelling error as such but never fails to make me smile.

EatsShootsAndRuns · 16/07/2020 17:46

Local second-hand car place also offers wheel ballencingand puncher repairs.
Grandmas atic seems to have closed.

(I'm having to fight autocorrect to mention these!)

IAintentDead · 16/07/2020 17:51

Someone was talking about people being 'blah zay' about things.

@Chicchicchicchiclana I think I know your boss!

I've just seen a school newsletter saying that in September the school will close early one day a week for 'ecstatic cleaning'. I'm still trying to figure it out. Autocorrect for 'extensive' gone badly wrong? (Or maybe they really do love cleaning...)

lazylinguist · 16/07/2020 18:27

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.

But if you have generally poor spelling and uncertainty about how to spell lots of words, it must be hard to know which words you're spelling incorrectly and it would be very time-consuming to look absolutely everything up.

I'm a languages teacher so I've had many absolute spelling corkers in other languages. But one child wrote that she'd visited Madame Two Swords while in London!

Jonsnowsghost · 16/07/2020 18:47

My favourite ever was told to me by an ex, the cleaner left a note saying they had "moped around the kitchen"

Hopefully they got some cleaning done after their moping
