The worst spelling mistake ever

[mymadpuppy]

Someone had wrote to a friend on facebook and couldn't spell "I".....but rather "eye" instead.
Example....."Eye went to the shop"

Now I don't normally care how people spell things, and I know it's none of my business but aibu to declare this the worst spelling mistake ever? It wasn't a typo either because "eye" instead of "I" is constantly used by this person.

I assume the person actually dictated the sentence but it's assuming they didn't notice.

I'm dyslexic. I struggled at school but did really well at college and university. I do need someone to proof read things for me though because while often I don't notice my mistakes. When I read the back sentence my brain reads it the way I think it should read. So sometimes with words that looks similar I don't notice the error. You can get most documents to read back to you these days.

However for informal writing I don't do that so I probably make a makes more than I'm aware. I can read the mistakes in others writing though, and if someone pointed it it out I can correct the spelling, it's just my brain seems to deceive me at times and autocorrect doesn't help.

Orgasm for organism throughout my biology homework was my best. This is a living orgasm, this is not a living orgasm.

Clearly you've never typo'd "kind regards" as "kind retards" when emailing a disability charity to enquire about hiring their hydro pool

This has cheered me right up 😂

Not buying that poster was legit, sorry. There is no auto correct in the world that would have that slur in its library of words. She did it deliberately or she uses the word frequently in texts.

It's not in my personal or work phones either, so I'd go with it being done for dramatic effect.

A while ago someone posted that she was cooking something “ boil in the vag” for dinner.

And the best adult typo I've come across was the school office sending a text to remind parents to pack willies for the trip.

This happened to our Head. She wrote a Facebook post asking if anyone had any spare or outgrown willies they could donate for Forest School .

There's the old classic 'wipe the baby's bum with a clean muslim'.

I would probably have thought someone was trying to be irreverent, whereas the grammar of your post made me think you should attend evening classes!

With a space missing. 😁

This was an unusually sticky ingredient listed on Ocado recently.

I can't be bothered to read the rest of the thread to see if someone else has pointed it out but the phrases 'I had wrote' also uses incorrect words.

There were some corkers in DH’s ex wife’s divorce paper but I’m not sure if she’s on here so can’t really say them. However, she did randomly start putting ‘x’ as a full stop about two years ago 🤦‍♀️ We were so confused and DH said to her ‘why are you sending me kisses?’ And she very sarcastically informed him that they were full stops....ok then!

Strange. 'x' is a full stop in shorthand but I don't suppose anyone uses it these days.

Yes. Guilty as charged.

Albeit it wasn't on purpose I once finished an email with king retards rather than regards in error 😭😭

Oh dear OP and you were trying to be so superior...

🤭😝

I've just seen "lye" instead of "lie" in a group WhatsApp.

BTW OP, if you're ending a sentence with 'is it' or 'is there' that's a question, and requires a question mark, not a full stop. So even your assertion that you don't repeat mistakes is wrong, isn't it?

@mymadpuppy

I stand corrected with my "wrote". However it's an oversight. I honestly do realise it should have been "written".

But there's no comparison really is there.

It WAS an error! I could not have written that and if somehow the autocorrect - ahem - had inserted such appalling grammar in my sentence, I definitely would have noticed.

Asked my mate if he wanted to meet for a wank by the canal.

It was only when I re-read it I realised I meant river.

Are you sure it's not deliberate?
It took me far too long to realise that people writing boi instead of boy actually meant to do it.

I'm clearly old and 'unhip'. 😁

This thread is revolting

This is very outing but too funny not to share. As a company we were attending a huge black tie event held by one of our external suppliers. The CEO of the company (let's call him Steve) got in touch to ask me confirm that we were all still coming, find out anyone was GF, Vegan etc (part of the event was a 3 course meal). I sent his email around to each of our attendees with the lines "ahead of X event, Steve needs a list of any dirty requirements you may have ASAP" and you guessed it, I cc'd in Steve!
