To think that chester draws isn't as bad as

'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.

@pointythings

These are all hilarious. They really are, but they do worry me. I'm foreign and I can spell all of these properly. My kids can too. Is this bad teaching or just downright don't give a fuckery?

I am with you on that. I have odd syntax and comma issues, but that's because I had way too good teacher for my native language and it doesn't want to pet me be free😂

I wonder how do the schools in here function... Sorry everyone

Queue - or even que - instead of Cue.

And "Bare with me". No thanks, I'd rather keep my clothes on!!

I've seen 'your be ok' and such before in texts too. It just baffles me that they have such a lack of understanding of basic English and what words actually mean. Worse I guess, I have a couple of friends who work in HE, both teaching English and English is their first language, and they constantly write 'your' instead of 'you're' and the wrong there/they're/their. Unbelievable.
I've also seen 'Breakfastses' advertised for £5 locally but that was a handwritten sign. I really wonder when I see mistakes on professionally made signs though, eg 'smile, your on camera'. I wouldn't want that being an advert for my business!

Chicken cord on blue sounds horrible makes me think a chicken umbilical cord but that's probably just ms.

Question - what's wrong
Answer...- nothink
Both said and written that way!

"I should OF done that" accompanied by me screaming!

My biggest fear is that one day I will end up talking and writing like that

I've decided I am starting my own line of man's underwear called Chester draws and it will have images of chests of drawers with images of Chester on them😂

A pet hate is all of the small shops that proudly have large window signs proclaiming that they sell stationary, including the local post office. Why don't the printers/sign makers correct or query it with their clients?

Took me ages to work out bone apple tea - great thread,

My Dad was a printer and he would have queried things he thought were wrong. However I once said similar on another forum and was told that the customer is always right and the printer should just go along with the mistakes!!

Also. No. Gawjuss isn't a joke. I think it's someone who gave up on trying to spell gorgeous.
I know someone who use it and arrr, carnt etc...

Part of the reason is that 50 years ago, no one would have dared to write anything for public consumption that hadn't been through at least a secretary.

Now we all have access to the wide world via Fb etc.....

KS3 literacy leader filling in a crossword infront of assembled parents 'sandles' and 'earing'

Hate to say this, but "infront" isn't a word...

My cousin's Facebook status included the word 'evanshally'.

EVANSHALLY!

I refuse to believe we share even 12.5% of our DNA.

It's a lack of reading, except of social media posts with (presumably) a lot of the same errors in.

I do notice a lot of the errors seem to be by non-rhotic speakers inserting Rs into things where there aren't any. (I say that as a non-rhotic speaker, so not being disparaging).

"My colleague asked me how to spell ADHD"

I'd like to have heard that conversation.

"How do you spell ADHD?"

"ADHD"

"Yeah. How do you spell it?"

"ADHD"

"Don't just repeat what I said! Tell me how to spell it!"

etc.etc. ad nauseam

It's like something from a sketch show.

I once had a conversation in French, having heard a new piece of vocab, that went:

Me: How do you spell it?

French person: [Repeats word]

Me: How do you spell it?

FP: [Repeats word]

Me: How do you spell it?

FP: [Repeats word]

...with both of us getting increasingly confused and frustrated until someone listening realised that while I was trying to say, "How do you spell it?" (Comment ça s'épelle ?), the person I was talking to was hearing, "What is it called?" (Comment ça s'appelle ?)

To the person querying the comment about people saying dropped “on the floor” when they mean “on the ground”: “the floor” is indoors, e.g. on surfaces covered by flooring, such as on a tiled, wooden or carpeted floor. “The ground” is outdoors, e.g. on the pavement, the road, the earth, the grass, etc. If you drop a ten-pence piece in a shop, you drop it on the floor (because there is a floor in a shop). If you drop it in the outdoor carpark, you drop it on the ground (because there is no floor in an outdoor carpark, just tarmac).

I don't know whether this counts for this thread, but I have seen 'weary' and 'wary' confused more than once. It puzzles me, because they sound so different, surely? Although I suppose 'wear' as in clothes -wearing has the same sound as 'wary' so perhaps that's where the confusion comes from.

I remember seeing 'your eyes seize to amaze me' commented on a photo

I can see some nice new username possibilities here!!

"gawjuss" has been part of Mumsnet "in-jokes" for about 15 years.

My DF once recieved a CV from an applicant for a role. Apparently they had Sitting Gills (City and Guilds) qualifications....

I follow a Fast 800 Recipe group on FB and the group leader always refers to “source”

As in “Chicken Tikka Masala Source”

Instead of Sauce.

It drives me potty and I can’t understand how someone could get to his age without realising it’s Sauce not Source.

Here here instead of hear hear

Im on a FB group “gardening on a budget “ and someone is asking about building a PAGOLA😂😂😂😂

Someone near me posted about needing somewhere to repair her bike because it had a puncher.

I've just seen "wether" twice in the last couple of minutes. Do people not read any more??!

I often see palava on Mumsnet instead of palaver

I can't help but get derailed on threads when things like this get posted
