It's vicious not viscous

[ISaySteadyOn]

I keep seeing this and yes, it bothers me enough to post. They are two completely different words with completely different meanings.

They are not interchangeable. Anyone else?

Defiantly instead of definitely grrr

Aw just shut up or I'll kick you to the curb.

Aged around 14 in geography I wrote about vicious magma. 16 years ago and some folks still remember it!

Que/queue instead of cue is driving me mad right now.

Queue - a line of people waiting for something
Cue - for hitting snooker balls or a prompt for the next event (eg the line before yours in a play or the 'no' that precipitates a toddler stamping their foot!).

Que is not an English word!

Loose instead of lose.

Don't mention the lose/loose thing. It's like a runaway train.

OMG, I have defiantly found my spiritual home, I musn't loose this thread, I would of thought it was too impotent for that.
Hello!

I'm sure some of the above are down to a combination of poor spelling, autocorrect and not checking before send is pressed. However there is never any excuse for writing "should of" instead of "should have".

These days with autocorrect I'm more tolerant of the odd misused word.
The only one that really gets my goat is those who use draw instead of drawer.

What about Chester Draws?

Definitely discreet or defiantly discrete?

Daisy's nasty magma has reminded me of DD in primary writing about the dessert covering Egypt.

Discusting instead of disgusting

I think Vicious Treacle would be an awesome band name!

I've done the queue/ cue thing. I'm sure I absorbed it here and now I'm not sure...
