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

Just seen on another thread, "Had you of done this at the very beginning you wouldn’t of had to make another thread". A double whammy of wrongness.

Whoa! 😱

"dune" instead of did.

I love their footwear x

I’m frequently seeing ‘adverse’ and ‘averse’ mix-ups, as in ‘he’s adverse to going there.’

I see what you mean!

I noticed a couple of variants of the pervasive "alot" syndrome today, "infront" and "infact" used in the same sentence. I was hoping to see "aswell", "incase", "atleast" and "abit" for the full bingo card, but no luck so far.

A real life example! Colleague today was telling me a friend was struggling to lose weight because due to health issues his life was very sedimentary 😂

Oh dear, perhaps the excess weight has settled on his bum……

We all shouldn’t take good health for granite.

Agree- I have concrete evidence of this!

Not if you’re stoned, and out of the question if you’re ‘sedimentary’!😂

On an AIBU thread yesterday.

It does seem his pallet has never quite got to adult stage .

No, not a wooden pallet but a food palate 😊

AlbieJiggered · 30/06/2026 09:47

Pallet, palate and palette seem interchangeable. I say them differently but I think that's just me.
Pal-lit, pal-lut and pal-let?

Surely it’s scrapping the bottom of the barrel

SerendipityCat · 02/07/2026 09:37

Another dose of wrongness today, "I'd of really embarrassed you in front of everyone if you'd of said something to me". I wonder if it's the same poster as the last horror? I've had too little caffeine this morning to check.

Whosthetabbynow · 02/07/2026 13:20

There are some real howlers out there. I can only surmise that people don’t read x

SueBlime · 02/07/2026 14:02

An update from the power company "Our engineers are still on track to get your power back on by 17:00 for those properties still effected".

AlbieJiggered · 02/07/2026 14:53

I think that quite a lot of people don't read and many of those who don't pay much attention to what they read.
There are all sorts of people posting and they'll be of different levels of education, common sense etc.

@SueBlime , shocking!

Whosthetabbynow · 02/07/2026 15:25

I’ve just ordered myself some new sandles

Tallisker · 02/07/2026 15:28

Sandles with handels?

AlbieJiggered · 02/07/2026 15:31

With heals.
