It's 'tumble dryer'

[Oldh]

Not tumble drier. This is going to crop up so many times now everyone seems to be looking at ways to reduce their energy bill. Please stop. I know I am preaching to the converted on here, but it's really annoying me.

May I offer 'pedastool'?

@WiseUpJanetWeiss

Close minded. Rest bite.

I'm also pretty annoyed with my iPhone which thinks that if I type ill I must mean "I'll", or if I type "were" I must mean "we're". Ridiculous.

My iPhone makes me look semi-literate, at best, if I don't catch it in the act. 🙄

The pronunciation of nuclear over the last few weeks has made me irrationally cross. I didn't know pedant's corner existed until now... thank you. I know how pointless it is to point it out when things are as they are, but the brain wants what it wants.

Do you mean ‘nucular’?

How about 'warrantee'?

I know it's an actual word, but nowadays seems have become a substitute word for either 'guarantee' or 'warranty'.

"My new tumble dryer came with a twelve-month warrantee."

I see and hear it everywhere

Haven't RTFT, but has anyone pointed out "aloud" being used when it should be "allowed"?

When people spell discreet as discrete, I go crazy.

Bare with me is one I see all the time....so annoying!!!

Discreet and discrete have different meanings.

I've never seen that one before, sorry but that's hilarious!! How can people be that daft?

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads

Yeah...that's kind of my point

Abit. Alot.

Indeed. And always makes me want to say, "I'll stay covered, thanks."

Yes wallah! Is Voila!

Regional thing, but it also took me ages to figure out what “ano” meant. Had to read it in the local accent before it clicked!

Oh, my people, my people, let us all go and live somewhere together away from all the rampant apostrophes and terrible miss-spellings and the completely wrong words, in a veritable heaven of undistracted correctness.
It duz my ed rite in.

I have a friend on Facebook who posts a lot about minor irritations in her day, and she always has problems with other drivers pulling out on her when it was 'her right away'.

Jesus.

I didn't know Pedants' Corner existed.

I think I've found my spiritual home

Just remembered a penfriend who would often tell me about his holidays on the Norfolk Boards.

Adverts for caravans for sale that state xxx birth.

@Happyasahedgehog

Adverts for caravans for sale that state xxx birth.

Ah yes, the Six Birth Caravan. That's quite a holiday.

Coop for Co-op is another one that I'm noticing more and more, as is Noone for no one.

@Thoosa

It falls under a sub-set of pedantry, that applies when it’s so completely inappropriate to say anything. See also rest bite.

I tell myself it’s fine to come up in hives as long as I stay silent.

That one always makes me laugh! I wonder if it's the phone or if they genuinely think it's rest bite - and if so, why?

My phone changes SO many things I type, I've pretty much given up caring what other people post unless they show in many different ways that it's definitely them, not their phone!!

I nearly typed defiantly just for a laugh.

One that I see far too often is 'defiantly', instead of 'definitely'.

Obviously it's a product of predictive text

Annoying, but can occasionally be rather funny if it changes the intended meaning of the sentence entirely.

@halfsiesonapotnoodle

None being used when non is meant. Utter drivel. You do not have a 'none stick frying pan'.

There definitely seems to be increase of the misuse of non/none.😡I'm not sure if it's people not knowing the difference or their phone?!

Sorry, FantasticFebruary!

Cross posted with you

@CheshireCats

Still growling silently at all the misused their/there/they're on here. But apparently you are a snob if you comment on it.

I know the difference, but how can I teach my iPhone to leave them the fuck alone??

It changes to/too all the time as well.

I tried turning auto correct off, but it was just a different variety of nightmare!! Might give it another go though!!
