A Viscous Attack # 3

[Catspace]

Ding, ding, round 3 of the highly entertaining collection of misspellings, misuse and general bastardisation of language. The floor is youre’s x

I can’t emphasise with her.

Just seen on another thread a poster claiming to have been told to cut their cloth according to their coat...

From AI subtitles- Owndall and Eaten.

The well-known pubic schools?

Yes!

"At private school your not paying for the education your paying for the network"

Which fee-paying school failed to educate that individual?

I had the old classic “postrate” said to me yesterday. Loads of ailments that were mispronounced. Surely if you’re suffering from them you’d know how to say their names correctly, but no. I just stood there nodding x

Seen today (and not for the first time on MN)
"I’m happy that [redacted] aren’t clambering to....."

Mumsnet - Daydo rails!

On MN today….
Nothing good will come from medalling in this.

Gold, silver or bronze?

On Instagram but I see it repeatedly and it drives me insane - people putting who's where they mean whose!!
For example 'we were contacted by someone who's father worked on the original project'
Typing it here now autocorrect suggested 'who's' to me so that probably has a lot to do with it!

It is an easy mistake to make. The way round it is to always use who is instead of who's.

'Tactile' for 'tactful'.

How touching.

"You must of fallen out of a coconut tree", a comment from another site. Sums it up really.

That’s made me role my eyes

Is that the 'electoral role' I saw the other day?

I think so, yes x

Delightful malapropism on a thread about enhanced maternity pay - the OP has to be “employed for another 7 weeks … in order to not pay the enchanted maternity pay back.”

Recently I keep seeing "his" being used instead of "he's" 😬 I don't know if that's autocorrect! It doesn't make sense 😄

Seems fairy nuff to me

I'm seeing a fresh rash of "where" today -

"They where out on their bikes"
"The twins where under 5 until they where about 8"
"They where pulled up on it"
"We where so thirsty"

It's almost as annoying as "loose/lose"!

Whenever I see "where" instead of "were" I hear the sentence in my head in a strong Scouse accent!

Eligiley- seen on MN today! Presumably meant allegedly.
