Stripped and dinning.

[Seymour5]

It's not a stripped shirt FGS, it's a striped shirt. It's not a dinning table either, it's a dining table.

I can't stand this. It makes no sense.

It is phonetically spelt for me. I pronounce it lager as do most people where I live.

Depends really. I threw the rock through the window is correct whereas I through the rock threw the window isn't😁

Mine is a filling cabinet. I just tip all sorts of crap in to it until it's full.

Omnibuses. I will not waiver on this.

From each other? Well yes, of course. But the point I was trying to make is that accent affects pronunciation, obviously.

It seems particularly common on American forums, for some reason. I've come across "shinny", "dinning", "tunning", "fumming", "paint striper" and several more which escape me now. It causes a temporary clashing of the mental gears, but I've learned to move on and not engage.

@H202too , Chester draws tickles me but I say tʃest ɒv ˈdrɔːrz

Or don't understand the past tense and say/write "I text him and he text back", rather than texted

I think it's because text sounds like it ends in -ed. If they had sent a fax they'd probably say 'I faxed him'.

I say texted but can understand some people saying text as the past tense (similar to cut or hit for exemple).

Brought for bought seems to be a new one popping out everywhere.
I brought this dress last week.
Drives me mad!

Been and being
His and hes
Worse and worst

I was actually grumbling to myself about dinning just the other day too.

Sneak peak drives me batty.

Agree. Apologists say ‘oh but when you say ‘bought’ it’s sounds just like ‘brought’.
NO IT DOESN’T!

It may do in some accents but that’s irrelevant. Their and there sound the same but people should know the difference.

In what accents would bought and brought sound the same?
Would bed and bread sound the same in them?

Agree @Seymour5

Also, 'tennant' instead of 'tenant' really bugs me.

And yeah, loosing instead of losing. I don't know why people DO this, and yes also 'dinning!'

It's a certain age range too. Mostly people 36-ish to 55 ish. I don't see this from older people, or the younger generation. None of my DC (in their mid- late 20s) or any of their friends spell like this... 'Tennant,' 'loosing,' 'could of,' 'chest of draws,' 'I no what you mean,' 'he want there, he was at his mums,' 'so proud of are grandson, 'you are with the angles now,' 'I have brought some bread from the Asda...' Etc.

No-one I know under 35 or over 55 is writing like this.

Do you know the ages of every MNer?

and throne not thrown !

Some English accents. I’m not English but I have heard English people drop the r in brought. No idea about bed and bread. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone get that wrong.

I'm off to bred now. I need to brie up bite and early.

Brest of luck. Hopp u sleept will.

I'm the policeman from 'Allo 'Allo now, aren't I?

People who say red-chester instead of register.
People who say sequences instead of sequins.

“Aren’t I” sounds completely wrong to me. I’m Irish so “amn’t I” would be what I would say. If you think about it, it makes much more sense. Are is plural whereas am is singular.
