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

Just think 'is taking my clothes off appropriate in this scenario' and you generally come to the correct conclusion about 'bare' or 'bear'.

Coronated.

Is it an actual word? Seems to be quite common now.

Wallah!

Or, as seen recently In Yorkshire where the h would be silent:

“hey wallah”
😂

TheShellBeach · 03/01/2023 14:25

I see "definitely" spelt wrongly so often that I think "defiantly" is just more of the same, and not a typo.

RIP. Fly high with the angles.

Threw rather than through.

Seen on the website of a professional person, thanking customers for getting them threw the bad times.

Ncgirlseriously · 03/01/2023 14:33

I recently saw “in do time”. 😬

Barrythetimesprout · 03/01/2023 14:36

Irregardless

Makes me shudder.

Ha! I've just seen "beens as", which I believe ought to be "seeing as".

But not as confused as someone who says it and notices you undressing 😱

Gotten

"Gotten" is correct in American English. I'm American so I use it.

Mischance · 03/01/2023 16:35

Please bare with me - no problem - I'll strip off with anyone at the drop of a hat! Smile

It's a doggy dog world!

AssumingDirectControl · 03/01/2023 16:37

His instead of he’s

His really pedantic about spelling.

I chuckle to myself when patients tell me they have 'prostrate problems'.

I actually learnt on a thread similar to this, that gotten was the older English version which was retained in the US and shortened here.

EmergencyPoncho · 03/01/2023 17:02

He'd love too.

VanillaSnap · 03/01/2023 17:03

Oh well - I know about "bigly" because of being on Twitter for ages.
