In the vein of "Chester draws"

[ShatnersWoodwind]

On a local selling page:

"Chabby Chique bedside tables".

😂

This is meant to denote speed apparently, personally I think it sounds aggressive -
anyone ‘grabbing’ crisps probably wouldn’t want to share them anyway.

To be fair, that's a good word that really should exist

That’s how I feel too

I saw someone on here once arguing, in all seriousness, that the expression “toe rag” for a rotten person is actually “tow rag”, referring to a dirty old rag you’d use to clean something you were towing 😆

Oh, I'm definitely having this one! 😆

So many people seem to say bias these days "I'm not bias" "I'm bias" etc 😖

I interesting fact though.

I agree.

I keep seeing ‘exasperate’ instead of ‘exacerbate.’ It’s to the point that I rarely see exacerbate used!

My lovely late grandmother always called Williams mother Princess Diane which cracked me up as a teen as somehow Diane is quite a different name to Diana!

There's no accounting for taste, is there? 😆

Pack lunch anyone?

[It was so unexpected] it was a revaluation to me.

Brilliant isn't it 😂 my sister and I try and use it whenever we can 😆

To all intensing purposes

Depends on usage. I've never seen wandering used incorrectly myself.

1)Wandering - aimlessly move around
2)Wondering - consider something

I often see 2 used in place of 1 because of the way they're pronounced.

1)is pronounced "wondering" and
2)is pronounced "wundering"

Perhaps they had the same English teacher as me. I wrote one of those 'What I did at the weekend' things, and included my horse riding exploits. She put a red line through 'reins' and changed it to 'reigns'.

Reader, I kid you knot.

Oh and mortified for upset vs embarrassed.

Oh yes, I've seen that - a dog wondering around in the street. I don't know what it's wondering about, or how anyone can know that it is.

I’m so board

Keep seeing “ leaks” on menus

CLOSE ARE BOARDERS!!!!

I remember the first time I saw that — it was on here. A poster said she was ‘mortified’ at the death of someone she knew.

Someone in our local marketplace is selling 'De-stressed bar stools'

Agree the misuse of mortified irks. You’re mortified if you fall over in front of the Queen not when someone dies uneventfully.

Also misuse of wary /weary people seem to confuse. “I am weary of letting her take my son to the park after last time”
