A Viscous attack # 2

[Catpiece]

Is it okay for me to start a second thread of the highly entertaining viscous attack? Couldn’t see a sequel and don’t want to step foot on anyone’s toes
edited to add: I’m Cattery but with a name change x

Unfortunately not. @PendantScorner is quite correct.

There for their and they're occurs too often to be remarkable, as does bare for bear.

But these are surely just the result (nearly typed 'reslut'...) of people typing too fast, possibly on their phones - where the tiny keyboards can result in slips of the finger. They aren't misunderstandings for common words because the writer has never seen them written down before. Although I suspect that there are a lot of marred couples and many girlfriends have hidden, I think these have to be disallowed as 'Viscous Attacks' because they are just finger-slips/fast typing/lack of proof reading.

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat , but that would mean viscous for vicious wouldn't be allowed.

It would if the user genuinely thought that viscous was how you spelled 'vicious'. Which I would not be at all surprised by. I don't think the pp thought that married was spelled 'marred' or his was spelled 'hid', which was why I think these are fingerslips. Viscous is exactly the sort of misuse of word that I would expect from someone who had never seen 'vicious' written down.

Ladies! I think viscous is definitely a misspelling of vicious. Marred is likely to be just a slip of the finger which has resulted in the I missing.

Thank you for your judgement! I was beginning to think we might be getting a bit too pedantic even for Pedants' Corner!

I thought viscous in that context was an autocorrect of a misspelt vicious.

☹️

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat Tee hee

Reading a travel article, I saw Yr Wyddfa written as Wydffa.

I’d be none the wiser to be honest. I’m assuming that’s Welsh?

Yes. It's the carelessness that is irritating. It can't be that difficult to check the spelling of a famous landmark. Yr Wyddfa

Seen someone described on a recent thread as being “holy unreasonable”

I've just seen 'thornless' on here instead of 'thoughtless' (I presume, although thornless might be a new saying of which I was previously unaware...maybe). I intitially put it down to mistyping or autocorrect until it occurred again in the same post.

On the there/their/they're discussion, I saw this today: "- not sure but think their might have been another stabbing!!".
I despair!

Shocking isn’t it? I’ve seen how someone wasn’t phased by something a few times on threads today.

I saw yesterday someone going to a party and said he and his wife will be bringing drinks and nipples. Presumably a typo but a very funny one considering the poster was unhappy that there would be a naked butler at the party 😆

I’m just reading about someone coughing up flem 🤣🤣🤣

Read a thread where the PP said that he was certainly laying out his stool (stall) regarding cheating in a relationship.

I have just seen ‘out of sink’ 🙀

I'm a bit Flemish meself ...

Better pull the plug on that!

There’s a real increase in the slither / sliver mix up at the moment - even my normally sensible MIL fell foul (or should it be fowl?) of it the other day. It does seem that these confusions seem to happen in waves. I haven’t seen ‘changed tact’ for a while but at one point I saw it everywhere
