Received an email this morning from a well known greeting card from that I use. Why don’t these mistakes get noticed? I hate seeing this spelling mistake.

Lately, people spelling Keir as Kier!! 🤬

If you’re interested enough to write about him, please FGS spell his name properly!

Wish I could DELETE the word tomorrow in its audio and written form.

How often do you see "that word" in a report saying "that word"

Every day of the week has its own name

Using ex as opposed to former

using the phrase you WILL remember in a news report
it should be you MAY recall

I don’t understand that at all. How odd.

I am glad,
we all don't have the same thoughts and opinions.

It is inaccurate to use the day of the week to designate either the previous day (yesterday) or the next day (tomorrow)
So neither a spelling mistake or incorrect usage.
Check Fowler if you don’t believe me

Meat loaf sang a song with a title "two out of three ain't bad"
So your happy with my two out of three ain't bad comments?

"That word" just annoys me, when I hear it in a news report that are being broadcast after the hour of midnight, when the report was compiled the previous day.

‘Your’ instead of ‘you’re’ annoys me intensely, as well as the mixing of singular and plural in a sentence.
