Please bare with me

See also "I am defiantly not pregnant".

Or as seen regularly on eBay, "Very sort after", or even "Very rear item". My particular favourite, though, is when a faulty item is sold as "Spears or repairs".

Chester draws always gets me

My favourites are ‘urr on the side of caution” and “on route”. See both regularly and fight correcting both regularly.

the misuse of breath/breathe makes me irrationally cross

I joined the cue / que

I keep seeing ‘slithers’ instead of ‘slivers’ recently

Weary instead of wary.

And loose instead of lose.

Brought, when they mean something purchased in a shop.

Argh.

I can't cope with 'greatly received"

I feel like people mix up 'gratefully received' with 'greatly appreciated'

Could of, should of

Tea earn instead of urn

I've seen "bare" so often now I genuinely get confused when I have to write the phrase myself!

I'm sick of people saying they went into shock. No they didn't. Shock is a medical condition that needs drugs and fluid therapy.

Why can't people just say they were shocked?

I am greatful you started this thread as I am mortified when I see bad s&g.

I think that quite often the spellchecker is to blame. My posts regularly include clangers but I'm quite a pedant in real life.

Defiantly is just a typo/auto correct.

'Bare with me', however... conjures up unfortunate images.

Reign/rein 😡

I worry about times I may have absentmindedly used the incorrect rein/reign.

I actually like bare with me, it makes me think of some sort of communal nudity, makes me snigger

Wallah!

But then usually fuck up when I post on threads like this!
