Mumsnet homepage have done it AGAIN

[AnnainNZ]

"Stress - how does it effect your dreams?"

Affect. Affect. AFFECT

is this just an effectation??

it's an effin' disgrace if you ask me

Once is unfortunate, twice looks like carelessness (or whatever the Wilde quote is)

twice looks like taking the piss! i wonder if it will change throughout the day as it did last time?!

I think they are doing it on purpose

Oooo, I was going to start a thread on this myself if there wasn't already one. I'm a university lecturer and this is one of the spelling mistakes that REALLY annoys me in my student's essays. Can't believe that the great and the good at Mumsnet have fallen into the same error!

Oops that should be students' essays. But I am 39 wks pregnant...

They're just doing it so we start threads about it!

bet this never happens on netmums

But Mumsnet has no pretensions to literary expertise. On the other hand, there's a writer's forum called YouWriteOn where the admin people are continually posting sticky messages referring to "the amount of reviews".

I meant writers', not writer's.
