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!?

Hope I haven't missed a whole lot of posts mentioning this but Mícheál (or Micheál, seems to vary) is the Irish version of Michael. Although it's equally possible the parents just couldn't spell!

The best are probably introduced by spellcheck. ''Enhancement of performance' once became 'enchantment of performance'. And I once saw a scientific paper (in draft form; later corrected!) where the author had intended to write '14 participants were excluded for not meeting X criteria' but instead wrote '14 participants were executed...'!

I love young children's attempts to spell unfamiliar words phonetically. One of mine, aged 6: "plushn" for "pollution". So logical and quite a good effort really but so way off the mark!

A dyslexic adult friend referred to Q Gardens and having to wear a suet for an interview.

'I've just seen "North Career" instead of North Korea.

It took me a second to realised what he actually meant!'

This was oral, not a spelling mistake, but I once heard someone say that she wanted to talk to So-and-so, as she hoped to go to Korea one day, and she'd heard that So-and -so had been in mid-Korea. It turned out that someone had said that So-and-so was at mid-career! (Mid-Korea would certainly be an interesting place!)

DF used to write "Advistier" for Advertiser (part of a newspaper name)

And his best mistake was "cheeze".

Which reminds me, I've come across "misteak" a few times.

Taking my 9year old niece xmas shopping, I asked her to add " wrapping paper " to the list ....she wrote Raping paper. I really got the giggles.... I mean is that even possible? Lol

But from an adult : for all intensive purposes. That doesnt even make sense

On the covering envelope containing a CV for a job application for the local deli, handed in by a mother on behalf of her teenage daughter it was addressed to the delicate essence.

A parent came into a friend's office to register her son in school, she was told that he was called Gooey. When the forms were completed he was Guy.

Could someone explain 'boorlake'? I cannot work it out. TIA

Well I/m dyslexic and have made quite a few.

"Ball-ache" I think! Took me a while.

'Jack Alien' - Jacqueline

When going through job applications someone had put amongst their hobbies 'crouching'....i guess they had meant crocheting. Caused much hilarity at the time & she didn't get the job!

I've just seen one on fb this morning where their "interested has been peaked"

Kneck less. Yes the piece of jewellery that goes around your neck!
At this point I realised my then new boyfriend, now husband was dyslexic!

Only yesterday on FB, instead of writing 'lackadaisical' a friend wrote 'lapsical daisy'.
Another FB friend, having just bought a flat in London, referred to himself as a 'property magnet'.

Building management team where I work - COVOD
On a breakfast menu somewhere - Pain O'Chocolat

Last year my car was hit from behind and I was shunted into the entrance of the hotel I was turning into. Reported accident to insurer.

Next day had a call asking me to clarify the circumstances of my "collision with the large pillow" because of the spelling skills of the call handler.

Pillar. Pillar.

I was working yesterday (from home upstairs) and I messaged DS to see if he had eaten breakfast
Apparently he had a. Quason

An English teacher (!) colleague of mine once wrote on a student's work that their errors were "unexceptable".

Oh, the irony!

we have a fairly high profile one in office right now in fact

Is that the Irish one?

Thank you! That "r" really threw me off!

Just recently someone emailed me and told me that the something or other might have been "souper seeded" by something else..
