What spelling mistake do you hate/notice the most?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

And Rayner as Raynor …

Lately, people spelling Keir as Kier!! 🤬

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

New Year’s and Valentine’s.
What happened to the Day?
Also unnecessary apostrophes!
Would of, etc.

I agree. I don’t like ‘anymore’ either.

I know it’s often thought acceptable now, but I really hate ‘alright’.
And why is ‘anyways’ all over the place at the moment? Please remove that ‘s’ - thank you.

Residence parking

I’ve seen ‘discrete’ at least twice very recently, when the person meant ‘discreet’.
Not many people seem to know that the meanings are completely different.

Should of, could of, would of!

Definately and Pajamas instead of definitely and pyjamas are two I really hate.

Those who relish!!!

I mostly notice my own, sometimes an official/business one makes me chuckle but hate? Bit sniffy 'bout those relish other's mistakes though.

Have to confess to a wry smile and a temptation to a suitable reply every time a tradesman or IT guy types 'bare with me'!

Can’t you understand a joke? I didn’t have a private education either.

Perhaps he should have had a private education.

Perhaps his parents (a) couldn’t afford it (b) chose not to use private education. The proof reader should be sacked.

Boom boom !!
Love it

Perhaps he should have had a private education.

Just browsing the Labour candidate’s leaflet that came through our door.

It says ‘Voting at a Poling Station?’

He doesn’t mention anything about education in his bumph though.
