Here we are on the fourth instalment of crazy misspellings, misuse of words and all the other topsy-turvy attempts at literacy from the illiterate.
Post your observations. Lady’s the flaw is youre’s…

Yes and they’ve probably got the boulders in doing it as we speak

Someone in a tv programme died of a heroine overdose. Too many good women methinks.

I thought it was auto-correcting 'politely knobbing someone' which is an intriguing image to muse over...

This was definitely in the context of snubbing and not an autocorrect for knobbing.

I've just seen a post on Nextdoor that has shot instead of shocked and left lane instead of left lying plus many other errors.

“doughy-eyed”

presumably puffy and yellowish instead of dark and lustrous…

I saw "take a fence" in some comments somewhere. The poster insisted it was a typo when pulled up on it. I'm not so sure!

On a thread on MN today the poster said that smart phones are akin to heroine.

Seen this morning on a MN thread:

...we got involved in a 30 person game of cherrards...

‘What a suburb example of farmers diversifying in challenging times. Should be on Countryfile.’

(It’s on a Rightmove thread )

No way. That’s not even a typo, that’s an assumption.

An assumption for what- sorry am I being dense?

They meant "charades".
