Looking for a longmore?

Best one for a long time MissInterpreted

Ha ha! 😂

Very difficult to get lawnmower out of that. Maybe English is not her first language.

Oh it definitely is!

So she mows her long?

Oh Misinterpreted - I’m still laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, she said she'd only need to borrow it for a few hours, so maybe it was a shortmore she needed?

Lots of people pronounce it that way.Say it quickly and you will see.
A non reader obviously.

DH just had an online ‘chat’ with a utility company. The operator asked him to ‘ bare with her’. When he asked how much he was expected to bare, she had no idea what he ment.

Saw this and thought of some posts I've read. Pedantic? Moi?

The trouble with being amused by others’ spelling mistakes is that you have to be extra careful not to make any yourself….
(*meant*)

That’s light hearted, by the way. I don’t care about spellings and I certainly wouldn’t want to mock anyone’s attempts at language.

My first thought too, marmadoit.

I’ve tried, but can’t imagine a dialect in which ‘lawnmower’ becomes ‘longmore’.

I look at my local Freecycle daily and today there was a Chester draw for free. Was it football Chester was playing?

Dialects of English are still English. I was thinking of a language utterly different from English, say an African one or an East Asian one.

No, not the case here. My daughter knows the woman and she is local, they went to the same school.

Oh dear …

Oh dear.

Try Belfast.

Ah, I see. Thanks, missinterpreted.

I've seen some appalling grammatical errors and spelling mistakes on our local FB page and wondered how these younger people managed to get through the local school system (I do recognise some names so know where they went). The English Department was good when my DC were there.

Any spelling mistakes I make are due to autocorrect having a mind of its own or my stubby stylus 😁

Love Longmore, one of the best yet. 😁

Perhaps she's a tad deaf?
