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!?

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

This has made me cry with laughter.

So did the flowers from Onald (Donal: Donald without a ‘D’)

A cousin of DH is a baker, and when he puts posts on social media, he always writes celibate as a hashtag so I wondered if it was some weird baking niche. No, it should be celebrate.

Dolphin wah potatoes

Oh my god 🤣

BlackeyedSusan · 16/07/2020 00:51

just check any of my posts on here... sometimes the spelling gets lost between my brain and my fingers. (excellent at typing teh instead of the, for example) sometimes the spelling gets lost somewhere in my brain, other times the spelling was never in there in the first place.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/07/2020 00:59

All my classes knew how to use a dictionary. I had to stop and use it fairly frequently. Amazing how a spelling just disappears from your head when thirty pairs of eyes are watching.

We often had penis for pennies
fuck for fork in pieces of writing.

There’s an awful lot of “been” and “seen” about these days, instead of “being” and “seeing”.

As in:

“I should of known better been as I’m psychic”.

ScubaSteven · 16/07/2020 01:23

FB friend writes ‘panicing’ a lot which winds me up for more than one reason.

@steff13

My name is Stephanie, and I got a drink at Starbucks once where they wrote "Steffaney" on the cup. 😒
My friend is Stephen, he told them with "PH" he got his coffee with "PHsten" written on it!

I’ve very recently seen eticit (etiquette).

Saw a newspaper report on how some volunteers were building public toilets in a local beauty spot, since visitors would come for the day, then leave their faces behind.

At Halloween- "Pics of the kids b4 they went trinkle treeting" Confused

Right this minute, someone on Facebook has just posted this!

"Who remembers this . I dont own the copy weight to this."

HermioneMakepeace · 16/07/2020 02:55

Wallah is Arabic for 'My God'! It's something you'd say when things are going wrong.

vickibee · 16/07/2020 03:10

It really makes my blood boiled when you see could of instead of could’ve
I have a friend who always uses I want to loose weight instead of lose and always puts hope your well on her text

Twernip · 16/07/2020 03:16

I received a text once, from my son, asking me to pick up some "parrots eat them all" from the chemist.
Bless him. 😁

At Christmas time my local supermarket sells Christmas reefs to hang on your front door. They’re made of holly not coral.

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 16/07/2020 04:16

I used to go to a Chinese restaurant called 'The Lotus House' but on the menu it was printed as 'The Louts House' - maybe it was on Friday night after the pubs had closed.

A current thread has a joke about a poster who talked about "fuzzy kids" instead of fussy Grin

PhilCornwall1 · 16/07/2020 05:03

Best one I've seen on here is "discusted". Not sure about bad spelling, it's not even a word!!

BritWifeinUSA · 16/07/2020 05:12

Before I left the UK I worked in a customer service job temporarily. I lost count of how many letters and emails received asking for a partial refund as a “jester of good will”.

I lived in the south of England and saw something I really liked on eBay but the seller said “all payments must be made in Stirling”. I contacted the seller and said I really liked the item but not enough to drive all the way to Scotland to pay for it. I think it was lost on him/her.

My husband once said he was worried I might have “angoraphobia” when I first moved here and was homesick and didn’t want to leave the house for days. Made me laugh so much I wasn’t homesick anymore. And I’m not afraid of wooly jumpers.

PhilCornwall1 · 16/07/2020 05:14

@Chicchicchicchiclana

I love these!

My favourite is "say lavvy" for "c'est la vie".

My boss, whose name was admittedly quite difficult (Caradoc) once had a letter addressed to him as Craddock. I chuckled at that for days.

Craddock 😆
Avelosa · 16/07/2020 05:48

@ThickFast I wish I could say I was witty enough for that to have been deliberate but I’m definitely notGrin
