To point out that the word is “faze” and not “phase” in this context?

[Anyotherdude]

I’ve been reading so many threads where someone writes about being “phased” or “not phased” about something.
it was bothering me so much that I checked to see if it was me that was getting it wrong.
I didn’t.
To faze is to disturb, bother, or embarrass, but a phase is a stage or step, so you can be phased into a role, but if you’re not bothered by something, it doesn’t faze you!

No, it is not not-picky at all!

I am a lawyer. In England. I have a “practising certificate” to practise law. My colleague and I are constantly seeing “practicing” and “practice” used by lawyer colleagues, our HR team, on our website. It is everywhere. We are a major firm and it is embarrassing. There are no American lawyers in our organisation.

cf “license” as a noun.

Also “libary”, that was my Mum’s.

Disinterested. It's almost become accepted as meaning "uninterested" instead of meaning impartial/does not have an interest

Oh give over. Casting nasturtiums on other's character's because you have no sense of humour is not on.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but what about ‘led’?

The dog may be on a lead, it may even lead the way, but usually it’s being led. The only time lead is pronounced ‘led’ is when it’s a lump of metal. Otherwise its pronounced ‘leed’.

Yes, that pp (the one @pensione was admonishing) was being ironic.

But now I don't know if you were joking with "other's character's".

I'd be willing to correct you at your request 😜

How do so many people write “noone” for no one? That’s the worst for me.

And ‘math’ from a Brit.

Have never seen it in book s but surely its impossible to be looking at the ceiling in a prone position?

Saw that too and laughed so hard.

I can never believe how many caravans are sold that women have given birth to several babies in, instead of selling five berth caravans 🤣

Just seen this on another thread:

"Careless of wether is is an entitiled T**T its still her child.

If we were all to find out that actually her reactions stems from a history of abuse under simular circumstances then surley a little empathy as to why she may have reacted like this wouldnt go a miss."

How many errors can you spot?

Remember, it's just for fun folks!

I certainly don’t hate you, but I’m decidedly bemused as to how you can’t hear the difference!

Adverse and averse
Dependent and dependant
Illicit and elicit

All used interchangeably by so many people.

And then there's "reoccur". 🙄

😂👍🏼

It both bothers me , 'cos I'm a massive weirdo, and entertains me, 'cos I'm a massive weirdo 😂. I do think that sometimes people do it to seem ' street '
Because I've seen relatives post on Facebook etc. Using of, and brought and the like, and then when posting to me privately using the correct terms🤷.

My MIL always said “pedal stool”
and I seem to remember “four coaster bed”

Sounds like being a weirdo runs in the family 😜

It's extra annoying me when the spelling checker on my laptop tells me I'm wrong. I can't figure out how to change it to British English.

The use of 'obligated' rather than 'obliged' makes me grind my teeth.

I suspect the sort of people who use it are closely related to those who regularly misuse the reflexive pronoun, 'cos they think it makes 'em sound right proper fancy, dunnit?

Yes! This has been bugging me for ages but if I mention it out loud everyone thinks I'm wrong.

And law and order as Laura Norder.

Just remembered that my old head chef (the one who told me not to "label the point") had also listed "Walking Fridge" on the cleaning schedule.

'walking fridge' 😂

Yes that’s exactly the point I’m making!!
