"Per say"

[squishee]

I've just seen it on here yet again.
It should be 'per se', borrowed from the Latin.

Could of.

On route? Per say? I could care less...

I probably should care less for my own sanity!

Pre madonna
I want to ask when pre-madonna was - are we talking BC or pre 80s?

Bought/brought. They don’t mean the same thing.

I saw ‘Parodical Son’ the other day which made me wince.

Self-paste learning.

I dont understand this one?
Self-paced?

I’d like to think pre 80’s.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned pacific/specific yet.

I see a lot of ‘very positive’
Surely it’s either positive or not

Oh and “I literally died!”

Erm, if you’re telling me the story, you probably didn’t.

‘Toot sweet’.

Yes, I actually read this in a piece of published writing. I cringed when I read it and I cringe when I type it.

It's extraordinarily rude to correct someone else's grammar/pronunciation at the best of times. It is not 'very kind' to stop yourself doing it when you're giving someone a cancer diagnosis.

I assume the poster means that he too will use whichever one they use during the conversation, rather than he restrains himself from correcting them.

It just shows people don’t understand how words work or at least think things through.

I saw ‘edition’ the other day, talking about an ‘addition’ to the decor of a room. Edition = edit. Addition = add. It really is that easy to work out.

Yes it was a mummy blogger, not someone who is a professional writer. But. They actually have put themselves into the position of being a professional writer (#ad etc) so shouldn’t they be able to form a sentence? I realise I sound like a really harsh snob but come on. How hard is it!

I read something today where wonton was used instead of wanton. Twice.

Was it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? What the hell is toot sweet?

I saw 'beater blockers' on here today.

More than 5 times in the last 24 hours I have seen “ect” instead of etc.
It’s et cetera!!!!

Wallah! Is my favourite recently…

Dependent/Dependant

Dependent, it depends on something

Dependant, your child is your dependant

I'm guessing as in 'tout suite' but I could be wrong.

Lumbar puncher anyone?

Excited for something when it should be excited about .

You can be excited for a person, not a thing.

That's just language changing and evolving - my teen dd uses 'excited for'. This is what language does! I generally enjoy how it evolves and how each generation makes changes and invents new words.

I'm not a fan of these constant peeving posts. The pronunciations used here show that people have heard the words, not seen them in print, and are saying what they thought they heard. I don't think it's that kind to laugh at others.

'Toot sweets' were candy canes you blew through like a whistle. Maybe it was Ian Fleming's wee joke.

Tender hooks 😭😭😭 whyyyyy
