‘Everytime!’ that used to be plastered all over Wilko’s lorries. Never failed to arouse my ire. Haven’t seen it for quite a while though - maybe they had a lot of complaints from wrathful pedants like me.

I speak various foreign languages and miss having a plural you in English.

I love this thread btw. All strands of it, especially the people sneering at people sneering at people's mistakes.

Недоперепил - Russian word meaning not over drunk. Drunk more than you should have but less that you could have I think iirc is the literal translation. Not equivalent exists in English

Oh wait this thread is mock people who may just have had an autocorrect fail.

My phone will not separate alot unless I force it to.

We may not have a word for it, but in my circle that state of drunkeness is known as "moderately pissed".

Further stages are "proper pissed" and "hog-whimpering pissed".

Is you not both singular and plural?

But i know you mean it's tempting to say yous, to which I'd get the reply Ewes are sheep

I call that very fine, misty-but-surprisingly wet rain "soaky rain" (as opposed to "dry rain"?!)

Misty rain that soaks you is smurry rain.
Forgive my spelling buy I've never written it or seen it written.

It really grinds my gears when people write loose/loosing instead of lose/losing and ect instead of etc 😬

Yes, plural you that distinguishes between one and more than one person is useful in other languages. Though where I’m from we use ‘ye’, and ‘yizz’ is used elsewhere.

I'd like a word for grown up children, too. To call them my children seems mad as they're adults now
There's "offspring" but it sounds a bit formal

Misty rain that soaks you is “a soft day”.

Grinds my gears drives me mad. What a silly expression

Also 'progeny' but that sounds even more formal.

The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is irresistibly cute.

Many common errors are to be seen on social media.

Battered, hammered or smashed

My friends writes "Egzacly" on Facebook. I messaged her to tell her as I didn't want anyone to make fun of her. She wasn't very happy with me and implied people shouldn't make fun of her dyslexia. I felt bad. She wasn't just done random though we message a lot.

I'm dyslexic too and never understood why que was always underlined in red. This week I found out it is queue. I'm 36 🤣🤣

Seen in an advert for a local baby equipment shop:

[name of shop] for all your babies needs.

@QuestionableMouse

Non is a word, or a prefix at least and is in front of hundreds of words.

I think the intended word was nom as in “yummy xxx for dinner - nom nom nom!”

"Incase".

I see this all the time. When did it become so difficult to insert a space between two words?

Gedogen is a very Dutch word. It means something like, “technically illegal but tolerated by the authorities”. Unless things have changed in recent years, some cities and towns have a gedoogzone, a red-light district where prostitution and the sale of cannabis are tolerated.

@Notjustanymum, that’s not what melancholy means though. Melancholia used to be the term for what we now call depression.

Intense longing = yearning, doesn’t it?

As kids we’d say ‘youse’. Would drive Dad spare.

I do find it odd that there isn’t a proper English word for it.

There used to be plural forms in English, thee and thou and so on.

Isn't it the other way round?: thee and thou are the archaic singular/familiar form of "you"

....sorry, "you" which was previously the plural/formal form of the 2nd person.
