To think that chester draws isn't as bad as

[ChangeThePassword]

'chester freezer'

I'm not defending chester draws, but at least I can understand how it happened.

I've just seen someone talk about their 'chester freezer' on Facebook. There's no excuse.

I have one friend who insists on using sammich instead of sandwich. You are 52 years old, FFS, it does not make you seem 'cute'!

[Gran22]

This was a new one to me, so I thought I'd share. Human cry. Any guesses?

Hue and cry.

Oh, and utmost/upmost have completely different meanings.

Just seen someone ask for Chester drawers on my local Freecycle. Had she asked for a chest of drawers and asked please, I'd consider offering.

On another request someone asking for a walldrop.

Unindated. It was said so often I had started to question myself!!!

I just had to question myself

[Anordinarymum]

Are you been mean?

[Housewife2010]

Yesterday several news reporters kept pronouncing "communal" as " commOOnul". Our elocution teacher at school was insistent that it had a short "u" with the stress on the first syllable.

Currently getting wound up by 'mischievous' being pronounced 'mischeevious'. Twice yesterday on R4..grrr

[SerenDippitty]

I’m sure someone somewhere has been annoyed by me asking for two cappuccinos instead of two cappuccini

[RaraRachael]

Iamnotinterested how should latte be pronounced as I suppose it could depend on regional accents.

Some people I know say laaaahty, others latty (rhymes with batty) - are either of those correct?

[Delilah21D00LoT]

"Chase lounge" "chais lounge" "chase long" for 'Chaise Longue'!
Really irritating!

[Katerinakaterinaki]

I can't stand it when people say 'bought' instead of 'brought'. Really, did you buy it?

[KatherineParr4]

Noticed several posters using’ bare with me’ today. Grrrr!!
Also ‘he done wrong’.
I itch to issue corrections but don’t want to be perceived as a pedant.

[Iamnotminterested]

@KatherineParr4

Ooh I hate that too! In coffee shops, "Can I get a lar-tay?"

Don't even get me started on how the majority pronounce 'latte'...

[scullie]

This is one I haven't seen before that I've just read on social...

That bloke thinks he's the bs and es.

Classic!

Another mnemonic for 'diarrhoea' is 'Dash in a rush, run, hurry or else accident'.

Although my spellchecker keeps telling me that spelling 'diarrhoea' like that is incorrect. Is it different in the US? (The spelling, that is)..

MIL had a friend who went into a home for the interminably ill.

[EveryDayIsADuvetDay]

oooh - I thought of this thread yesterday - it's grown, I have catching up to do!...

people that insist on saying minimetre instead of millimetre always amuses me

[KatherineParr4]

People who say ‘gonna’ and ‘wanna’ drive me mad.. or ‘can I get’ rather than ‘may I have’.

[CaptainMyCaptain]

Thanks, that's interesting.

[cariadlet]

@CaptainMyCaptain "pass the buck" and "the buck stops here" both come from poker. They're quite old (from fairly lawless Wild West times). An object like a knife with a buck handle would be passed around the table to keep track of whose turn it was to deal.

[CaptainMyCaptain]

I saw a post about 'passing the book' on Facebook this morning. Mind you, I'm not sure what the 'buck' refers to.

[Youngatheart00]

Just thought of another one

“Oh I’m bias about that”

It’s BIASED

[Butteredtoast55]

CaptainmyCaptain, I completely agree! ‘So fun’ drives me mad.

This one is probably an Americanism rather than a mistake but it annoys me intensely.

So fun!

It's either 'so much fun' or 'such fun'.
