Aaarrgghh - there is no such word as "non"!!!!!

[LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour]

Just that.

(The word you're looking for is "none". "Non" is a prefix, as in non-event or non-existent, not a word in its own right.)

Ah, that's better. Happy Good Friday, everyone.

@orangejuicer

Missing the point entirely but Non was St David's mother.

Well I didn't know that. Thank you.

@pointythings

Here's a Dutch non.

Ha! Is that Sister Wendy?

It's driving me mad too OP.

I'm going to add bought and brought are too separate words, they're not interchange and you can't only ever use one of them for your whole life.

Bought from 'to buy'
Brought from 'to bring'

Feels better now I've got that off my chest

Don't even get me started on could've, would've, should've

Well it's 48:52 so either a more-or-less even split, or enough of a majority that I should be cast out on my own and lose all sorts of rights and benefits.

Hurrah - I'm not the only one!

Where do you stand on shrink/shrank/shrunk?

Is "shrank" a word? Off to Google that.

The ones voting YABU are probably the ones who can't spell

OP, I completely agree. I know exactly what you mean, I see it increasingly on here and it is irritating as hell.

Oh apparently so. I usually say I "have shrunk" something and not I "shrank" it. Well actually what I I usually say is "bollocks" in that scenario.

I can't bear it when people type that they can't bare it

I believe it's "I shrank [the kids]" but "I have shrunk".

Yes, probably...

Someone typed something about having bear arms once which conjured up an amusing image.

LemonMeringue it is indeed Sister Wendy, who is not Dutch, but in Dutch she is a non.

And 'Schrank' is German for cupboard. But I've never managed to shrink any of my kids sufficiently to fit in one.

Bear feet.

I've never seen it spelt that way. I'd just put it down to being a typo unless it is happening a lot.

Of course it's not a word. Non is a complete sentence.

I’ve never seen anyone using non instead of none I just assume the people who are just aren’t great at spelling.

It is happening a lot. I saw it twice within one post recently.

All these people saying they've never seen it! I have seen it, many times!

😄 👏👏👏 Bravo!

Très bien - 20/20 !

While you are technically correct, it's terribly crass to make fun of the illiterate dontcha know?
