AIBU to think that it's really not that hard to learn the difference between bored and board?? Hmm

You'd have to be a bit of a plank not to see the difference!

JParkson · 23/02/2012 12:23

And there, they're and their

and reins, rains and reigns

and whether and weather

Nope, YANBU

TheCunningStunt · 23/02/2012 12:24

I was so ready to say YABU for spelling it wrong Grin

Hullygully · 23/02/2012 12:24

Maybe they are stiff and wooden.

flywiththecrows · 23/02/2012 12:25

Grin Hully

you took the words out of my brain and finger poked them into your own keybored

Saltire · 23/02/2012 12:25

It's the "please can I ask for advise on how to do x,y,or z". Instead of advice

FullyImmersed · 23/02/2012 12:26

Just seen someone put their FB status as "so fucking board", and I hunted high and low for a sarcastic pic to post on it, but sadly couldn't find one :(

pressed post too soon, the mix up between those 2 irritate me. Irrationally so Hmm

flywiththecrows · 23/02/2012 12:27

Saltire · 23/02/2012 12:27

One of Ds1s friends routinely writes "I am board out of my brian" on his facebook wall

FullyImmersed Google planking, pick and image, job done Grin

blackeyedsusan · 23/02/2012 12:32

yanbu. it is terrible to feel so flat.

FullyImmersed · 23/02/2012 12:36

I think homophones are very underrated.

DoingHouseworkHonest · 23/02/2012 12:42

SO NBU. Drives me round the twist as well. I see it all the time on Facebook, and I feel like posting something sarcastic every time I see it!
Something along the lines of "well yes, you are a bit of a plank. Sort your bloody spelling out!" Grin
Oh and another thing that gets on my boobies as well is people mixing up stationery and stationary. Absolutely unbelievable the amount of people who get those wrong.
I feel like yelling at the writer when I see it (especially when it's on bloody shop signs, FGS!) Stationery is your pens and paper and whatnot. Stationary is what you car is when it's stuck in a traffic jam. Ie, not moving. How bleedin' hard can it be?!
Rant over and relax...... Grin

Hullygully · 23/02/2012 12:42

baby jesus doesn't like homophones

mojitomania · 23/02/2012 12:43

the Pendants are out Grin

DoingHouseworkHonest · 23/02/2012 12:44

Ha, never visited the Pedants corner, I think I'd be right at home in there though! Grin

Mumof1plustwins · 23/02/2012 12:46

To, two, too!

Grin I used to play this game with my friend when we were board as kids Wink
TuftyFinch · 23/02/2012 12:50

The baby Jesus slept in a bed of hey.

Hullygully · 23/02/2012 12:53

he got cold tho, he wanted more than five cents too

belleepoch · 23/02/2012 12:54

Wear, where and were. They don't even sound the same.....

TuftyFinch · 23/02/2012 12:58

His dad couldn't bear to see his sun sew cold.

Hullygully · 23/02/2012 13:04
