I know ‘dose’ is a word, but it isn’t ‘does’

Carnt isn’t a word at all.

I feel that this is one of the few places where I can admit that I once left a WhatsApp group largely because someone wrote like that. There were other reasons, but reading her (many) posts was like nails scraping down a blackboard.

I saw one of those tables advertised for sale recently.

DameEdnaAverage2 · 09/04/2025 12:42

But did they have a chest of draws to sell?

I know we can't all be 100% literate and that regional accents skew how we hear, and therefor spell, words but that's the one that irritates me the most and I see it so often.

Iheartmysmart · 09/04/2025 12:50

I saw lonely behold on a thread the other day instead of lo and behold. I assume the person using the phrase had heard it but not seen it written down.

Does anyone watch MAFS? One of the brides called the Sistine Chapel the ‘sixteenth chapel’ 😂😂😂

Someone on Facebook was complaining about their lively hood. I was tempted to ask if they also had a slightly less lively hood and a positively idle hood.
