Most amusing spelling mistakes you have seen on mumsnet

[GetOrfMoiSamsungFridgeFreezer]

One which made me laugh - a mner was complaining about her bin collections or something and said she was going to call the council to complain. She spelled it as cancel. Can just imagine that being said in saft London accent, could see why she spelled it that way the dozy mare.

Here Here comes up a LOT on here. It makes me curl my lip.

Chest of draws.

CupcakesandTwunting It was when Threads I'm On was down,and Chaos wanted to say "HQ causing mass inconvenience on Mumsnet" and said "Mass incontinence on Mumsnet"

That was it. God bless Chaos.

Choas still at it tonight. First few posts.

Chaos, ffs!

"We are all just human beans"

Hello. We're going to move this thread to Pedants' Corner - where it richly deserves to be, and where it'll stay for much longer than it would in Chat.

'knife welding criminals' and 'swinging taxes' are my number one favourites right now.

As in 'knife welding criminals are just reacting to swinging taxes leaving them no disposable income'.

Or, in other words, illegal blacksmiths are being over-taxed because of their predilection for shagging the neighbours.

Excellent, Manatee.

I have seen frequent complaints about the baby's neverending "cradle crap".

A typo rather than a spelling mistake, but I invited someone on here the other day to 'be my guset'. He very politely declined.

I did an awful typo. I wished someone in a DV situation beat wishes

Felt terrible.

The 'mint sauce on fanjo' thread - she meant source as in Original Source mint shower gel.

A poster on another forum once asked someone where their pricniples were.

I had 'Steak and Kiddey pie' in a pub the other day.

I had always wondered why you never see any children there....

Spelling mistakes like these, even funny ones, usually get short thrift on MN

A recent thread about how much weddings cost had a hilarious and Freudian typo! The poster was talking about how huge the bar bill had been and how they had kept the itemised receipt "for prosperity"!! Given that they'd shelled out thousands for an expensive wedding, I think "posterity" was what she meant!

It's appaulling, isn't it

How has this thread got to almost 100 posts without anyone mentioning pagwatch's meal if anus anus?

note to self - don't be such an idiot, you know what they're like in pedants' corner

I had a yr 2 class who were writing about teddy bears, most of them used the idea 'My bear eats peas and honey' as it was in the story we read. Quite a number (copying?) wrote 'my bear eets piss and hunny'.

Also every year I have a child who confuses 'a' and 'u' and write cunt/ cun't instead of can't.

Also (GCSE level) 'Sit Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 60ft Clipper'

Can't think of any as I'm laughing too much - especially at Francis Drake and the French cockery lessons !

Sleep depravation.

Is that sick and twisted dreams?

Will come and post when I see :)

It's addictive, this pedantry. The more you think about it, the more you notice. It's a viscous circle.

Ooh I can't be doing with a viscous circle. It sounds messy.

Viscous circle

It could set the president for future typos. Best avoided, really.

(Oh dear. I've realised I might just as well set up home permanently in Pedants' Corner )
