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’ve just read that someone has scolded their hand. I bet it was given a good telling off.

One from today - the case was outside of the statue of limitations. Statue of Liberty maybe.

'I balled my eyes out.' Seen too often, including on the BBC yesterday, though when I looked again later it had been corrected.

Seen on Mumsnet today “worth it for piece of mind”

@Allseeingallknowing Which piece I wonder x

On MN the most repeated errors would appear to be "ect" and "loose" (for lose).
One thread was quite derailed by the OP unwilling to acknowledge "treat draw" wasn't correct.

The piece that governs intelligence?

I suppose you do if you want weight loss injections!

There for their happens a lot. 'I should/could have went' is another one.

One I’ve noticed quite a lot (alot?) is the use of “except” for “accept”, as in a recent thread, “I don’t think I could except that”. What, you couldn’t make an exception for it, perhaps? No, she meant accept, and she did it twice in an otherwise nicely-written post. It’s one to watch. If it ever gets to epidemic “loose” for “lose” levels, I fear my brain will boil in my skull.

Awful. I'm struggling to cope with "loose" as it is.

Someone on my local Nextdoor site was complaining about fly tipping. The people who do it are bone idol.

That's a new one! 😂

One from today: enfurtunitly

Oh and in my region his instead of he’s…. So…. His going to the shop

No need to be so viscious, wind your neck in.

This popped up today. Very apt, I thought.

From this morning - “You went for a job you thought you were a shoe in for”.

A new one - rele rele

The mental image of the latter is much more pleasant though - someone trudging along following the task rather than a bare toe twanging a rope 😅. Viscous is one I actually give a pass to as a similar so unnoticed autocorrect. Much like defiantly instead of definitely.

"Gillettes" for sale on market stall. Not razor blades, gilets.

can you give us the context, I’ve no idea what that’s supposed to be.

@ErrolTheDragon , really really?

Just seen someone say ‘Clutching my purse’ while putting their hands to their throat, rather than ‘clutching my pearls’ 🙄

@ErrolTheDragon
Really, really ..

Some brilliant new additions to the thread today (yes, I’m the poster formerly known as Catpiece). I was reading through some old texts at the weekend and came across one that was sent to me describing some colleagues as “manikins”.
