Lost for words?...

I bought some houmous the other day. The shop assistant asked me if it was nice humerus.

Loose for lose, as has already been noted and your for you're. Aagh!!
It's worse on Facebook. I don't think people speak like that do they?
Btw why aren't we in pedant's corner?

When brought & bought are used incorrectly.

Prince Charles says 'hice' instead of 'house'...or am I showing my working class roots?

Another friend always says sangwich for sandwich and Sis-in-law says ospical for hospital and thin for then with the same pronunciation on the th as in then but with an i... very puzzling!. ? I wonder if I say anything that irritates others?... no, Shirley knot!... ???

If you don't like misused words, stay away from F.B. It makes me want to scream sometimres.

Are as in aargh our as in 'h'our that's how this Southerner pronounces them.
That's another one, pr'nounces

AKS instead of ask. Hearing it all the time on Eastenders!
Prostrate and massectomy.
Carpohydrates.
Hyperdeemic Nurdle
My aunt said strawberries came in a plunket

Apologies .. *emphysemia for emphysema. ?☺

Very funny everyone.. ? I do mainly mean the written word except in the case of convince/persuade which seems to be disappearing altogether
MissAdventure and Daddima.... it sounds like you know my friend!... ??? ...and I think you have all mentioned words that irritate me...prostrate for prostate. pacifically for specifically....muslim for muslin...and my husband's family ALWAYS say emphasemia for emphasema. I find myself correcting people on the television all the time, and I know it's rude to keep correcting people but I really have to bite my tongue sometimes!
The malapropisms do bring a good old chuckle though.. ? I just wish I could remember them all!

I often forget the word I am looking for so most things in the kitchen are interchangeable, giving DH a pile of plates he may be instructed to put them in the microwave, washing machine or any other appliance. Thankfully he usually knows what I mean.

We must share the same neighbour MissA
Does yours take flowers to the 'symmetry' ?
Or complain about her very coast veins?

My wee auntie had so many malapropisms! She had ‘embezzled’ wallpaper, talked about the ‘ menstrual cyclone’, ‘muslim’ nappies, the ‘ nuclear detergent’, and many more!

My neighbour is an absolute star for saying all manner of things wrong.
Her P.I.P benefit becomes P.I.E, her copd is all manner of initials, her microwave has changed, in the time I've know her to a 'microven'..
Still, its a learning kerb, as she would say

Too many mmm’s!

I have a swimmming cerstificate! ?

Cerstificate

Pacific for specific is a constant howler.

callgirl that made me laugh?

And prostrate for prostate.

(And don’t get me started on ashume and conshume. I’m just waiting to hear conshumpshon.)

Prince Harry said “I would of done that” in a tv interview a while back. I was really shocked!

It must be a regional thing as already said - there is no "w" in our, its our not "ow er". How does the Queen say it? I don't remember ever hearing her use a "w" in our? Then again the Queen would say glaRss, not glass. Anyway I'm in the South and no W here

"are country". I think it is perhaps a southern thing.

I don't say everyone in the south says "are" for "our".

The one that is really annoying me is era. I have heard so many people pronouncing it erra. There's been a thread about it recently, but it is still really grating. Is this the American pronunciation?

Certainly don't sound the same to me.
Arr or ow er - totally different!
