Had to get it out of my system

[NinkyNonkNausea]

Came over so I wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings on the existing AIBU thread but...

Loose vs lose
Bear vs bare
Discusting
Genuinely vs generally
Then vs than
Draw vs drawer
Lend vs borrow
Bought vs brought

Aaaagh!!!

@NinkyNonkNausea

Out of curiosity, why is it OK to start a thread here (where 10-15 years ago, we used to talk about interesting nuances of language) yet you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings on the twatty Aibu thread?

Do you think the thick won't read over here?

Then you are making yourself look very silly. As @JenniferBarkley has explained.

"Theres a post where someone is suggesting, about an event taking place in the future, the OP asks someone to take her to an address"

Glass houses and stones come to mind tbf.

Please may you.... aghhhhhhhh

Of and have

I can't believe no one has mentioned definately yet!

Unnecessary descriptors: DH likes tuna fish (as opposed to tuna vegetables?)

I was sat
I was stood
We was
Wander vs wonder
Me vs I
It's vs its

When people interchange off and of

Or say 'off of'

Former boss: off of out of (without any irony).

"We was", especially when used in formal work emails (looking at you HR).

"Without further adieu" (used in court by a Crown Prosecutor)

Went to a school photography trip meeting last week and the teacher said “any students who don’t have a camera can lend one from the school” 🙄

Agree about the incorrect and widespread use of ‘myself’ (“myself and my husband”). It really grates!

@PAFMO Not "the thick" but maybe people uninterested in minor language usage annoyances? I didn't know this board was used differently 10 or 15 years ago, but this post doesn't seem dissimilar to recent posts.

multiple instead of many or lots of

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂

When people say I instead of me.

Cue/queue
Free rein/free reign

Ha! This one drives me bananas.

Chester drawers....

Too/too
Your/you're
😭😭😭😭

My irritation is that nobody bothers to look at the dates on threads. It was a zombie thread of mine.

Isle for aisle.

A few days ago there was someone writing about a driving incident and saying that she ‘had the right away’.

I/we done something instead of did.

Also, one I keep seeing more of lately is the use of 'are' instead of 'our'.
Eg; We really enjoyed are holiday - what is that all about!?

Seen instead of saw!

Ect instead of etc.

Breath instead of breathe.
Of instead of off.
