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!?

Flaming yawn
I can't work out what this is
Freshhel · 16/07/2020 06:02

Someone on a local selling site has a 'champleen' for sale, it's only on seeing the picture I realised it should say 'trampoline'

Flaming yawn = filet mignon?

There's an huge advert for a company in a town near me painted on the roof of a warehouse. It's been there more than 10 years. It starts Wea'v. (We've)

I used to work in a hospital and there was a move around of wards and the new sign to one of the wards had an arrow and the words “Hamatology”

Ah, the plastic bead injury department.

I'm pretty sure that at a large number of the people using Wallah are attempting French, not Arabic. Wink

If you Google Wallah voila one of the suggested questions is "What does the French word Wallah mean?" Grin

A relative is always asking to burrow things instead of borrow. And arsks instead of ask.

@MagentaRocks That Buzzfeed link is very funny. The least knobby dots 🤣🤣

Loving these but just realised I'm guilty of writing rest bite Blush. I had never seen it written before so just wrote what I thought people were saying.

I used to work for a surveyors and had a lot of emails about chimleys.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/07/2020 07:05

A local is business is called "Are XXXX XXXX" rather than "Our XXXX XXXX". Our big boss uses rest bite. It really bugs me when people type excercise.

BikeRunSki · 16/07/2020 07:12

My old boss talks about plans coming to “fruition” and decisions having “president” (precedent).

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/07/2020 07:13

@ToffeePennie

“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 think it's the autocorrect (combined with ignorance or a lack of editing) that causes definitely /defiantly then the app 'learns' the wrong version, people think it's correct and so it continues.

Saw this on FB recently.

Stacey Solomon does it all the time. Yesterday was the best. She said patients instead of patience.

EatsShootsAndRuns · 16/07/2020 07:41

My old boss talks about plans coming to “fruition”

Well it is an actual word, so your point is...?

What’s wrong with “fruition”?
WinterAndRoughWeather · 16/07/2020 07:47

The thing I can’t understand about the really insane misspellings is surely people know that they’re not sure how to spell it, in which case why not look it up? Especially if you’re having a sign or a menu printed.

LadyFidgetAndHerHandbag · 16/07/2020 07:50

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

My husband calls them that too, it's because of the joke - why can't you get aspirin in the jungle? Because the parrots eat them all.

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/07/2020 07:57

Fruition is correct.

IamMaz · 16/07/2020 08:02

I saw a postcard ad in a newsagents window showing a SUFFUCK Punch lawnmower for sale!

Avelosa · 16/07/2020 08:03

Also don’t understand the fruition one as I thought that was a wordConfused

Bare with me instead of bear with me. Makes me smile due to the rather different meaning.
