Think you can spell?

[user2009]

It bugs me when people spell 2 or 3 letter words incorrectly, know knead four itt.

As has been said, it is just a forum not an important document and many devices are being used. So to throw it off topic a little. What bugs me are these presenters who are on serious salaries, who's only real skill is to be able to speak to camera or radio mike - and all they can manage is a series of "gots" and "gets". Can they not manage any more suitable words.

I'll fetch my coat....

Someone on here keeps spelling "his" as "he's".

It angers me so much it makes my teeth itch.

Also, "alot" isn't a word. "Allot" is a word. "A lot" is two words. ALOT ISN'T A WORD.

Many folk on here seem to put the ball on a green into the hole...........that's plane cheeting.

I should talk as I am always spelling 'their' wrongly. It's an I before E except after C thing

 

[MetalMickie]

Why do so many use the term "could/should of" rather than the correct form "could/should have"?

 

[AmandaJR]

Lose or loose drives me mad and seems ubiquitous (now there's a word)! Another bugbear is wary and weary...

Of course spell checkers won't pick them up and therein lies the problem as there's way too much reliance on them.

Affect and Effect is a mistake that grinds my teeth......

I've seen some people mistake 'then' for 'than'. As in "I'd rather eat Indian then Chinese" instead of "I'd rather eat Indian than Chinese".

Awful!

Dyslexics in a car

"can you smell petrol"

"I can't even smell me own name"

Apologies to anyone who is actually dyslexic - none to anyone else

Surprised no one has mentioned of and off.

That wasn't a mistake I was just really hungry! (note not Hungary!)

Im sure my punctuation and spelling is wrong sometimes,or maybe all the time.
But to be honest i could not give a dam.
Its amazing sometimes what gets on peoples nerves.
All the poverty,murders etc around and people get wound up about have people write,get
a grip.

 

[HotDogAssassin]

It's damn, not dam. :ears:

 

[HotDogAssassin]

One thing that I hate is when you correct someone for their spelling or grammar, it's often you that is made to feel in the wrong.

I've acquired a bit of an inferiority complex reading thru' this thread ...

Far more important issue's to get one's knickers in a twist about I reckon...

Like the fact that the Beeb has made a complete horlicks of it this morning calling Andy Murray a Scot... Surely they should know by now he's a Brit until he lose's ...
