OK, I know it's a really easy mistake to make. It's just that every time I read this - more and more frequently - my mind conjures something like this. Enjoy!

The same website had a suitably smartarse pedantic reply to a post about a cat wondering in a supermarket car park.

There was a post from a man hoping to meet a woman on there.
My reply was something like 'Poor spelling and grammar is such a turn off.'

Edited

I work in aged care, and review a lot of progress notes as part of my role. You would not believe the amount of wondering residents do in the corridors!
But never fear, if the resident first refuses to come and sit and rest, the nurses reproach them later. 😱🫣😳

Pedant5corner · 05/07/2025 18:06

What did they mean?

Funnywonder · 06/07/2025 21:21

Zonder · 06/07/2025 21:09

What did they mean?

They meant ‘swingeing cuts’ as in severe or extreme cuts, usually with reference to budgets/finances. Pronounced like whinge, rather than wing.

On another thread today in the OP:

We did also like NAME but it might be a bit too unique?
...
(I am also a teacher which makes names super hard!)

TheaBrandt1 · 07/07/2025 20:22

regarding the salt path couple lots of deceipt going on. Even on my WhatsApp group of professionals people using that word. Sitting on my hands not to type DECEIT!!!

Pedant5corner · 07/07/2025 20:24

Are they teachers by any chance?

HopeSpringsInfernal · 10/07/2025 22:41

Just heard on the bbc weather forecast -
'there is only one way for those temperatures to go, and they will plummet quite quickly UP'

What???

Pedant5corner · 10/07/2025 22:44

Standards soaring to new depths?

HopeSpringsInfernal · 10/07/2025 22:48

Pedant5corner · 10/07/2025 22:44

Or plumbing the heights! 😂

Honestly, you couldn't make it up!

Tallisker · 11/07/2025 00:09

I watched that and thought WTF? Surely plummet is necessarily downwards?
