I've had enough of Iv

[2mummies1baby]

I've seen Iv in SO SO many posts recently, and I just can't cope! I've even seen it in posts with otherwise correct spelling and punctuation! I'm a primary school teacher, and I've never ONCE seen a child spell it this way, so why the fuck are adults, who are presumably typing on laptops with spell check or on phones with autocorrect, suddenly doing it?!

What's lv?

And yet I can't help but notice that you are the only person on this thread who has quoted another poster to correct their punctuation.

A misspelling of I've.

No, but this is Pedants' Corner, so I would have thought this is very much the place to go if you are bothered by the way people type on the internet!

Haha I thought you had mistyped and had enough of tv! I was going to suggest getting an Amazon stick 🤣

😂Don't you worry, I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and NOWtv! I'm sorted!

I know what board this is

‘Which’ board.

Never seen it liked that

This is getting all to regular on pedants corner
OP posts on pendants corner
everyone replies 'you are being a pedant'
Err...well....

My thoughts exactly! 😂

All over Mumsnet.
I hate it too.

I see it all the time and it drives me crazy, but it's odd that the people who do it still manage to write I'm and not Im.

Spelling and punctuation matters outside class too.

Ha ha what an amazing joke

It's extremely irritating, OP. I agree. You can dislike anything you wish to. As for the sanctimonious wank about 'Pedants' Corner used to be for us to discuss the delicate nuances of language...', well fuck knows if it was, but we can also have a bloody good moan about infuriating mistakes we detest, but must never mention, in case we insult or offend someone. 🙄🙄🙄

I mean, there's a reason it's called "Pedants' Corner" and not "Linguistics Corner", surely!

I’ve seen it quite a lot too and find it equally irritating. I wonder why, if you aren’t confident about spelling, you would turn off the auto correct facility. I’m aware it isn’t infallible, but it must surely alert you to some errors.

And which is itself shorthand for I have? I've been posting about this earlier, as I have seen it used in the same paragraph as I'm on here just now!
