Incorrect but lovely.

[love2sleep]

Sometimes I see words spelled in a way that just looks so much nicer than the correct spelling. My favourite today is "wroutine"

Does this mean I will never be a true pedant? Do pedants have to have a natural dislike for all things incorrect?

Oh sbydurrs is lovely, jura - makes them sound almost fluffy

Am loving sbydurrs - fab. And frogsborn.

"amn't" is an archaism and is perfectly OK, if a bit dated. I like it (but don't use it).

oh, yes the haton - dd has a bibbon
(which makes perfect sense: 'I'll get your spoon and your dish if Daddy gets your bibbon')

we also have a mashing machine and a dishmasher.

love washing washing as well

I still struggle not to say par cark.

Yes it was "finomenon" - I love it.
Thanks Jura. I think WannaBe's program should be congratulated.

Now that the thread has moved on I can add that in my family we "lawn the mow" and say "splish you" when we sneeze.

I love wannabe's programme, it comes up with some beautiful phonetic spellings sometimes

(where have you been harpsi?)

dd2 asks for morning food instead of breakfast

I saw 'vercicious' on another message board today.

DS1 used to call me "munny" not "mummy" when he was a tiny tot. I always thought it was rather appropriate as I am the breadwinner .

We still talk in our family of people talking to their "chothers" - from the DSes toddler division of the phrase "each other"...

sorry to be dense, what is wannaBe's program? I assume she must be visually impaired (is that the right phrase?!) or summat.

I shall look out for her posts now with curiosity.

Sorry if that makes me sound mawkish

"DSes'" ughhhh

DS talks a lot about "Kaftering" - "Are you kaftering me today mummy?" "I am kaftering penguin because he bumped his head" etc.

It comes from "Look after" which he thinks is all one word so to look after - lookaftering - kaftering.

I know I should put him right but it's so sweet.

sbydurrs and frogsborn

On a slightly more mundane and practical note... I used to say "eyebrowns" when I was little (well they are!)

My DD (2.6) calls eyelashes eyesmashes.

snowleapard - ds1 also does something like this.
"are you lookaftering me today"

excellent! Shall bear that in mind....

Am all out of inspiration but enjoying this thread very much.

lol at computer farts!

I had an e-mail from a client the other day telling me he was "annoid" by them amount of spelling mistakes in his printer's proof.

I roared with laughter at the irony.

However, it is rather a lovely mis-spelling really, isn't it? It sounds like a sort of medical condition that one might get around one's bum hole.
