Going passed? Instead of going past?

I know it's likely to be autocorrect, but it seems to be popping up so frequently and is really frustrating. I find it difficult to keep accepting the mangling of spelling everywhere. 😞 I know I'll have my arse handed to me on a plate, but I just wanted to have a small whinge.

l’m on a hair care group on Facebook and the amount of people who write moose instead of mousse is driving me batty. I also get disgruntled by people using affect and effect incorrectly. I haven’t noticed passed/past as much though.

It's bad because I will immediately reject a book/ author with poor grammar or spelling, when many should probably be heard.

One of my favourite books, 'My Family and Other Animals', has an acknowledgment to the editor and mentions the amount of work they had!

My DS hates the book 'The Amazing Fartzini' because of all the SPaG errors.

Sometimes though your brain is tired and you can just pick a homophone by accident. I've seen that in emails from teachers before... mind you I did encounter one who taught that '-ly' could be added to 'fast' to make an adverb 🤔

Hair moose! The mind boggles.
