"Draws"

[skinnyflatwhite]

I can't write any more about it. I just feel aghast and perturbed that anyone would think this was the noun it should be. I've just seen it again tonight on mumsnet.

Agree. Rnghngh.

Chester draws

Drives me mental too, apparently I am unreasonable though and it's just the natural progression of language.

I was also told that it was accent related as in "other" accents, drawers and draws sound exactly the same....

Drives me utterly potty.

Dear god, there is fecking loads of them on ebay!!!!

I saw this written (Winchester chest of draws) on a packing box on an item being sold in Homebase. I wrote an email to complain, and was further incensed to see an apostrophe error/spelling mistake (you're/your)on their website!

I got a generic apology

I'm sure I saw someone on a TV kitchen company advert say "draws" too.

This drives me mad too.

Try the reviews on somewhere like the Argos website. Painful.

Our local antique shop had 'Antique Chester Draws, Victorian, £560' on a swing tag.

I say "draws" but I wouldn't write it if I meant "drawers" fgs! Aagh!

How could that possibly be explained away as the natural progression of language???

I'm Scottish so always pronounce the -er sound.

I still haven't quite got to grips with 'car' only having 2 sounds.

Found myself ranting when DD came home with the phonetics for it . DD was bemused as I was ranting about where the 'r' was. I think there's a Proclaimers song there.

Me drawers fell down in shok

don't know whether to laugh or cry at Chester Draws

Aargh!

There is thread about tampons and people keep writing about the 'draw' they keep their sanitary items in!

(I am posting here so I do not post there)

I really really feel the pain and anguish here as I am Irish and pronounce both syllables in drawer.

I know that on this side of the pond you say "draw" for drawer.

But it's still inexcusable in my opinion....
