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!?

@DinosApple

DC wrote fonicks instead of phonics, there's no better, or more appropriate, misspelling! Grin
This is brilliant Grin

“Clostrofobic” claustrophobic
“Agorafobia” agoraphobia
Discusting drives me insane as does defiantly instead of definitely! We all have a built in spell check on our phones or laptops these days, there’s no excuses for neuro typical people really!

I love this humour.
My kids have made menus with diet cock on.
Also, bone apple teeth, bond app the queef for ‘Bon appetite’

‘Wallah’ instead of viola. Saw someone saying ‘just threw x and y together and Wallah’ also someone advertising a ‘Jon oppertunity’ my autocorrect even corrects that!

HansBanans · 15/07/2020 22:55

Diementions - dimensions
Rediculus - ridiculous
Defiantly - definitely

I could go on but I feel like I'm probably already going to hell for laughing at the three examples given above 😂

The ‘Marc with a c’ reminded me of a friend of a friend called Donal who ordered flowers for someone and said their name was ‘spelt like Donald without the D’. Cue the recipient getting flowers from Onald 😂
That also reminds me there’s lots of confusion on MN about cue/queue, eg ‘I joined the cue.../queue me saying...’

I know I said I wasn't going to add any more but then I remembered pacifically (specifically)...

My favourite was years ago - front page of The Times reporting on Ted Heath's visit to Paris - ".... and this afternoon the Prime Minister will be visiting the loo." It should, of course, have said the Louvre. Grin

Also due to my poor typing abilities my patients get sent for a Brian scan

I worked in a hotel where the person charged with writing the daily menu basically couldn't be arsed to check the spellings.

The Poached Beast of Chicken went down quite well.

We had no takers for the Guinea Foul.

My Dd1 (was right on the borderline when tested for dyslexia- she wasn't) spelt another "hanuna" and thought that what was written down as "note" said "naughty".

She's 20 now and at uni and I got a email a couple of weeks back saying she hadn't been payed.

Sometimes I wonder if we should do the test again!

timeforabrandnewnameagain · 15/07/2020 23:37

A Facebook friend writes he's instead of his, ever damn day. I actually hate the grammar and spelling police, and this girl is a great person. I would never correct her, I'm terrible myself. It's just she writes it multiple times a day about her DS.

I remember having a book entitled Ruff book on the front at school ( Rough book for working out stuff innit )
