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

She's the Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, I think.

I love ulgar. 😀

It could be a really ugly ogre.
Or not so vulgar. Just ulgar.

I live in a country where English often not a first language, and one that always makes me smile is when someone posts sleepers instead of slippers.
And for a dressing gown - morning coat, which is a direct translation.

Where English is a first language though, I do judge slightly.

@GameofPhones , knickers are drawers not draws.

Princess Diana wasn't Princess Diana until she became divorced. She was referred to as Princess Diana though.

I can't get worked up about this but can about articles that refer to Kate Middleton, unless they are referring to her before she married.

'Right of passage'

Princess Diana wasn't Princess Diana until she became divorced. She was referred to as Princess Diana though.

She was Diana, Princess of Wales after her divorce. Princess Diana was never correct.

I agree about articles referring to Catherine as 'Kate Middleton'.

She was never Princess Diana - she was Diana, Princess of Wales.

She was called it but it wasn't her official title.
It's derailing the thread.

Morning all. I’m the OP but I seem to have buggered up my username. Oh well; just to let you know I’m here. I think the issue around Princess Catherine and Catherine, Princess of Wales is just semantics really. It doesn’t matter too much. We know to whom you’re referring. I much prefer the glaring howlers like “right a covering note”. Not with a job application surely! He’d get a “no” from me. Anyway, keep those eye’s out 👀

@Whosthetabbynow , you're not @Catspace , I'm @Catspace .

@isthismylifenow , here's a dressing gown for you.
From my observations, those who were formally taught English as a second language often have better than mother tongue speakers.

Pedant feathers ruffled upon hearing another mum repeatedly characterising her daughter’s friendship groups as ‘clicks’ or ‘clicky’ rather than ‘cliquey’ or ‘cliques’ - but maybe this was a deliberate mum-slang adoption (help me here MN) and I’m hopelessly out of touch. Maybe I am not in the right click.

NAVAL GAZING

I had some fun making spelling memes.

Whoops my picture didn't load. Will try later.

I’ve just read, “My parents had a 'sweetie draw'.” What is it with all these draws…

I meant "From my observations, those who were formally taught English as a second language often have better English than mother tongue speakers."

No need to get your drawers in a twist luv.

Aaah, looking out to sea at the ships

Mine’s not a written one, but it’s “wallah!” for “voilà!”. And an increasingly common one in MN, “bare with me”.

just semantics really. It doesn’t matter too much

You're not familiar with Pedants' Corner then, I take it?

@SchnizelVonKrumm My thread isn’t about semantics. It’s about misspellings and using words in the wrong context.

@SchnizelVonKrumm , read the OP.
'... highly entertaining collection of misspellings, misuse and general bastardisation of language.'

BTW, it's Pedants' corner.

Yes, I wrote it. It’s my thread but my username has been deleted by MNHQ for some reason. I did explain that in a previous post. Please lighten up. These threads are usually a bit of fun-poking.

@Whosthetabbynow , are you @SchnizelVonKrumm ? I'm confused.

Yes. I was on the Mumsnet app. It all got confusing and my username got deleted.

You addressed yourself?

@AlbieJiggered No, I addressed @SchnizelVonKrumm
