Furniture item with 'draws' - should be 'drawers'!

My ‘favourite’ was a ‘chez lounge’. ?

More than once I’ve seen “Chester draws”. ?

???

Don't forget a 'Christmas Reef'

And a house described as being in a “coldie sack”. Chilly? ?

“Draws” seems to be the accepted way of saying drawers in the North East. Certainly one of the things I’ve noticed since moving here 16yrs ago.

As in “Winter draws on” ? ??

Called drawers 'draws' must indicate either a lack of hearing or lack of basic education.

None of them bother me.

Drives me mad too I really have to tie my wrists to not correct them on marketplace

I've lived all over England, and can't think of anywhere that pronounces 'drawers' as anything but 'draws'.
However 'withdrawal' can be pronounced as spelt or as 'withdrawl' depending on geography.

That is the first I realised I lived in a coldie sack. It is cold at present.

Freecycle shows draws instead of drawers. I look on offer to discover somebody is actually asking for eg a leaf blower so does not know the difference between wanted and offer.

On GN I often see i'll as unwell. Argh!

I once looked at an eBay item which was advertised as a 'shawl with sequence'.

I’m going to send an email to our local Planning Dept. I am fed up with reading that Planning Permission is sort.

My iPad changes ill to I’ll automatically

I have to go back and alter it.

MerylStreep there is a clear auditory and orthographic difference between drawer and draw. Actually there's a grammatical and a semantic one too.

Mine too Oops.
...and it doesn't seem to learn.

Ah well, that’s England!
They also often seem to be capable of confusing those large sea mammals and the Principality, which can be misleading to those of us who know the difference between wh and w

People who say 'this is the worse thing' .Worse than what?

I blame people who pronounce drawing as drawring, and draw as drore, for the mutation of drawers into draws / drores. They are responsible for widespread confusion among the population.
