How many draws in a chest of draws?

[Deux]

Just had to get this off my chest. What has happened and why is it that people just can't spell drawer anymore? It raises my blood pressure significantly.

I was looking for a desk for my DS and I had the misfortune to trawl through the customer reviews on the Argos website. I was stunned that so many people wrote 'draw'. Eg, 'draws very flimsy'.

Then in an antique shop recently a sign read ' ..... with 2 draws £550'. I found myself foaming at the mouth.

If this one had been done before, apologies. Sorry, ranting a bit.

I saw Chester draws once

I saw this thread title and clicked, foaming at the mouth, to correct your spelling! Sometimes it's the little things that drive you up the wall

My other annoyance in this category is people used 'phased' when they mean 'fazed' - as in 'I'm not fazed by that, I'm fine with it'. Wrong usage seen in all sorts of places, including, IIRC, the Guardian

It is used frequently on here too. It actually got to the stage where I began to think it was me!

mugglewump -maybe you worked where I once worked. A (educated to degree level) colleague of mine always used to write Chester Draws.

Ha, so glad it's not just me then. Chester draws .... brilliant.

Best not get started on bought/brought then.

[muggglewump]

Gaaaah I hate brought, it brings me out in a rage.

[notwavingjustironing]

I too was about to barge in and correct you till I realised where you were coming from!

I'm so glad there are other normal people who can't stand this.

My teeth ITCH when I read text speak

Off to lend a pencil from my friend

LOL @ Chester Draws.

Sounds like a big man from Texas "heyyy, Chester Draws here"

BTW apparently bought is just going to stop existing soon, so many people say brought whether they mean bought or brought.

I brought this from the shop today - really? Didn't anyone stop you stealing???
