A Viscous Attack #4

[Whosthetabbynow]

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…

Absolutely developmentally normal as a child but not as an adult. Acceptable in some dialects I'm sure but that poster wrote the rest of the post in Standard English.

The OP made the error more than once and several others.
Do the posters who use he's instead of his write/say she's instead of hers?

Saw in a newspaper that a situation will now be more better than before.

Why not? The way young children form irregular verbs before they’re taught not to is entirely reasonable.

OTOH we could discuss how the meaning of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ is liable to be misunderstood nowadays!

That sounds pongy!

Why not?

Just spotted “I hope he meets a grizzly end in prison”. I’m pretty sure the prison service manages to keep bears out!

Do they keep bares out?

A post today about avoiding the baby isles in the supermarket.

On the local selling page…

Selling to cabnits commet if interested asap need gone

Depending on where you live, a walk down the isle could be quite a hike.

His and he’s getting mixed up again - but you don’t often see it this way round: ‘His high profile - maybe people want to take him down a peg or two.’

Just seen a reference to a rubric cube

...and wear black plaques and Whistles chunky knee high flat boot

Plaques? I can't work that out.

The effects of terrible dental hygiene?

Opaques

I would never have worked that out. Thanks.

It’s taken me a while to realise that this is referring to tights, not just clothes in general!

‘enthrall to’ instead of ‘in thrall to’

It wasn't clear in the original post: 'I’m 59 and mini skirts are my go to outfit for work (teacher). I’m similar size shape and wear black plaques and Whistles chunky knee high flat boots and a blouse.'

It was almost certainly an autocorrection but she did say she was a teacher.

spotted today - ‘curb’ appeal

Spotted on a thread: tie or cravate

There’s a thread running on AIBU which started with an anguished post about a lost (expensive) children’s dance shoe, and is now filling with anecdotes about lost items. You can probably imagine how many time “lose” is being rendered as “loose”, so fellow pedants, I beg you, don’t go there. There’s even someone who had to replace a broken TV, so “rebrought” another.
It’s Pedant Purgatory, I tell you.

😱
