Lurkers' Week: What common misspelling drives you crazy?

I'm a very good speller but spelling mistakes don't bother me. My boss used to get me to check his documents for errors. He was a very intelligent guy but couldn't spell.
The only wrong spelling that bothers me is spelling my name wrongly. Just carelessness.

My pet hate is disinterested for uninterested. I think that battle is lost though.

Discrete/ discreet.
Waive/ waver.
Loose/ lose.

‘It’s’ can also be short for ‘it has’ - ‘It’s been raining, it’s been very hot lately,’ etc.
Will admit that I only worked out the rule for myself when I had to teach its/it’s to (mostly) speakers of Arabic, who needed to get it right in exams.
As a native speaker you just don’t think about these things.

But it’s is ALWAYS short for one or the other.

there their
have should be shortened to 've not of
draw drawer

Lead instead of led annoys me and I see it a lot. Also bare with me is very different from bear with me (last seen on a police Twitter account) ?

Starting a sentence with "so"....

I've got used to "so" to start a sentence when speaking. It's an easy habit to get into.

However when written.....no.

Laying instead of lying - e.g. "she was laying on the bed" or "I was laying on the beach" etc.

Also faze for phase.

My latest grip isn’t misspellings but bad grammar. E.g. “Global pandemic “ . Why don’t they they the whole hog and say “worldwide global pandemic”? While they’re at it. ?

Do you think people have become lazy with autocorrect and assume it’s right? I’ve come across some corkers on Fb, etc., recently.

Muddling allowed and aloud is a pet hate of mine which is frequently seen on FB
As Jane10 says draws and drawers.
My friend always types throught instead of thought and salard not salad in texts. I'm too polite to tell her.

I did enjoy " Californian wall nuts" the other Christmas in Salisbury.

And “pealed”tomatoes in a tin! The mind boggled

'then' instead of 'than' (eg something is 'better then something else' grrr - I assume it's because you don't have to reach so far on the keyboard to type 'e' rather than 'a' lol

Bear and bare, some of the outcomes from using the wrong one doesn't bear thinking about.

I've noticed several family messages complaining about lodes of homework.....

...... and sight and site.

Except for accept
Of for have
His for he's
And way too many more to mention

Practice and practise.

there/their/they're

'brocolli' for 'broccoli'.

Especially if it's on a menu. If you're writing a cafe or restaurant menu you should check that everything is spelled correctly.

Advice and advise are frequently muddled. Then there is the ever present - I was sat.

Re comments on never qualifying 'unique': I understand that 'very unique' is pointless, but there's nothing wrong with 'almost unique'

...but the incorrect use of 'epicentre' gets me every time.
