fluffy, for years I have spelt (or is it spelled lol) definitely definately. It was only about five years ago I caught on to it and I think of all those documents with my mistakes on them
Think sometimes we only know things are an sp when someone points it out and then realise we've been doing it for years without knowing
as she is your older sister she is probably bigger than you so it might be wise to keep quiet and let her 'ave her 'ofs.

It so doesn't. It makes them sound like they learned the alphabet by watching 'Sesame Street'.

When my new credit card arrived I noticed that instead of 'Expiry Date' it had 'Valid Thru' written on it. It made me every time I looked at it so I sent it back to the bank and saved meself a fortune!

I've got a terrible habit of shortening though to 'tho' at the minute. I know I shouldn't and it's just laziness on my part
'are' instead of 'our'
'pud' instead of 'put'

Hi Twee hun
hiya science xxx Hope you are well. Yeah! It was sad but she's out of the snake pit and probably much better for it. It is getting very vicious now.
Lisa comes out with some beauties, but that one stuck in my mind. It's just laziness.
I have a friend who says re'n'ember instead of remember and it really annoys me!

I do that all the time, and I also use thru. And it is sheer laziness on my part. I blame texting for it.
'throw' instead of 'through'!

Pst Twee Surgeon, 'I HAVE ever seen' or 'I ever saw'....seeing as how we're being mega pedantic.quote:Originally posted by onetoo:quote:Originally posted by Twee Surgeon:

'I noticed the man had very big mussels'
I was out having a meal one day
and the woman at the next table
ordered profit roles for desert.
guess what she was trying to say

When my niece was small she thought that 'Mr.Pianist' at her ballet clas was called 'Mr. Penis'
...and what a carry on we had when they did the stranger danger talk at school and she thought strangers were soldiers!
I hate it when people(newsreaders & reporters in particular) pronounce the word secretary as 'Secketary'.

Ok guys...here's one for you, how do you pronounce: chorizo and scallops with ratatouille

My dad pronounces chorizo as cor-ree-th-oe, because he says a Spanish toff told him that's the correct way. I think he sounds like a pretentious nob when he does it though.
"His" instead of "he's". Or the other way around.
