To blame Girls Aloud

[BadTimesAtTheElRoyale]

At least 3 times a day I see the misuse of aloud instead of allowed and rightly or wrongly it drives me crazy.

@Ohtherewearethen did he mean 'and all?'

I haven't seen the MN favourite 'Chester draws' mentioned yet.

I think it is unfair and gives two much credit to a bad karaoke group, only one of whom has any musical ability (Myleene).

@nosswith Mylenne was in Hear'say.

Yes, "anorl" is and all.

"And Take Wheel" was Antique Wheel.

I still like “Wallah!”

Took me bloody ages to figure that one out!

I'm from the north east and we use 'anorl' to mean 'as well'

Though I must point out it's only something I would say, I would never dream of writing down 'anorl'

Shudder

Monica You know it's "And all" rather than "anorl" right? I know it SOUNDS like anorl....but it's from "and all"

They say that where I'm from too. North West. Like this

"Oh my Mum worked at Woolies and all"

Which comes out as "an-all"

I'd fed up of companies offering me a "sneak peak" of things.

My pet hate is the confusion of "bought" and "brought"

bought = past tense of BUY

brought = past tense of BRING

@iglpgl I'd fed up of companies offering me a "sneak peak" of things

Before they drop it?

I'm seeing 'advice and advise' being mixed up a lot...also people saying they are seeing a 'councillor' when having 'counselling' and the absolute worst 'rest bite' care instead of 'respite'.

But are you actually 'walking Primrose', OP??

'I really want to loose weight'. No you want your clothes to get loose when you lose weight.

Breath when they mean breathe and then incorrect use of too really irritates me

Ha ha! Laughing at 'anorl'!

We also say this in Yorkshire- it is used to mean 'as well' but would probably be written as an'all (and all). No that it's something you would usually write as it's more just a local dialect phrase.

Has anyone else noticed the direct link between people who use the word 'hun' and horrific spelling errors?

‘Bare with me’ ‘I can’t bare....’
‘I can’t loose weight’ Drives me mad!

The internet also seems to be littered with people being "defiant" about stuff.
It's endemic.
(They clearly mean "definite")

New one tonight. Apparently you can change your name by depol. Who knew.
