I thought I'd seen it all...

...but over on Facebook someone has repeatedly used 'cart' instead of 'can't'. Not just the once, which I could overlook, but continuously.

I may have to delete Facebook. And then burn my laptop.

One of my FB faves was 'powerphrase', as in, 'Tonys post gives a much better powerphrase of the info than mine.'

I've noticed a few interesting house ads on Facebook. They all seem to be in a sort after area and have an on sweet.

I see that a lot, unfortunately.

I saw that too! wince

It's as if society has disguarded all notions of proper spelling and grammar. (Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😄)

I'm currently needing to use the voice to message thing on my iPhone, it does write some absolute nonsense and I don't always catch it!!

Yesterday I was typing to a good friend fortunately it was a good friend and not someone I barely know or MN and I typed

'mind you'

And I hadn't noticed it changing it to 'my Jew'

Fortunately, we have been friends since I was born and she knows it's not the sort of thing I'd say!!

Foreseeable?

Don't go on Nextdoor, so many people saying parents should do X Y or Z with 'there kids'.

Ring doorbell footage with, "any1 no these".

If they disagree with someone do they say 'Your wrong', perchance? That one really grinds my gears...

Someone emailed me with a long story about how a mutual friend was annoying her. She did admit the mutual friend is really not that bad, by saying "but give her a jew.........". This was in the days before voice to text so she must have actually typed it in! I didn't say anything to her but it did make me laugh!

Something I see very regularly on a local Facebook group is using ‘they’ instead of ‘there’ e.g. ‘avoid Main St junction they’s been an accident’. Also ‘as anyone ad’ or ‘ave you ad’ 😭

East Midlands? They was three cars in the car park, Miss.

Ugh, friend of mine is always using 'av', 'ad', 'wot', 'u' etc in texts. He's 57 and very intelligent, but you wouldn't know it from his texts. Drives me mad.

Yorkshire! Competitive stupidity on some of these Facebook groups!

🤣🤣 oops!!

Yes. And random apostrophes in plurals.

N instead of and. There are a lot of ‘skiddish’ lost animals too.

Irrelevant I know but was just reading your "grinds my gears" as my bff (and self-confessed petrolhead) forced her ancient Morris 1000 into reverse.
Ow!
(I know the problem only too well.)

Sorry - now back to your regularly scheduled programme.

I absolutely cannot stand people using brought and bought incorrectly. I'm seeing it so much recently. Why?????

Not sure, but glad you bought it up

I have just had a Facebook notification. It included, "we all was av a laugh"

Some of my “bare bugs”:
Using borrow and lend interchangeably. E.g., “DS borrowed his friend a game”. And, believe it or not, I recently saw leaned as a past tense for lend.
A newsreader on a renowned overseas channel using incidences for incidents.
Keep hearing/reading casted for cast in X role.
”Infidel” being used to mean adulterous person. This took me a while to work out as the term was being bandied about on a Bollywood gossip site.
”Revert back” to mean respond (also entrenched in Indian English).
And, proofing pudding.
Shriek!

I have mental health so I don't spend too much time on Facebook.

This week someone was selling pj's and sleepers.

I’ve just spotted a rather charming mention of a boyfriend being ‘possibly immaculated by your success’.

Chester draws......
