common spelling mistakes

[John-B 4]

Only read a couple posts the last few days but there seems to be a growing trend in simple spelling errors such as "pidgeon" (pigeon) and "ferrit (ferret)

I know we aren't Einstein but come on people it's basic English.

Please list any common mistakes you see below just as a sort of fun way of secondary education.

Sorry sir for being a little uneducated. I promise to try harder in future.

 

I see you point, it's like this in most places. Some just find it hard and cannot be helped. We all make spelling mistakes from time to time. It's not a life changing matter..... So long as you get the drift then why worry.

 

Here's one: Bread (Bred).

Eeeh lad, if you start listing poor English usage found on THL, then you'll be here till Dick docks, and he ain't got a boat yet !

 

I read in a paper a few weeks ago that one in nine are leaving school functionally illiterate [ by whatever standard they are using to define " functionally " ] So while I'm broadly in favour of accurate spelling and syntax, I can't help but feel that your post is a bit like that little lad in the story, who tries to plug the hole in the dyke with his thumb.

Feck lol

 

In all seriousness, many of the young lads on here probably have the ability of a ten year old a couple of generations back, when it comes to spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Standards are definitely dropping at schools these days.

Well John my "English" is far from perfect and I can see from your post that yours isn't either.

get over it lol

it just makes those who can read and write properly a bit smarter

i can read 3 languages english, cant be arsed to use a spellchecker and a small understanding a txt spk

 

the spelling doesnt bother me too much id prefer a bit of crap spelling and decent content than drivel spelt correctly, as for punctuation who gives a $%&*

It's time that the mods started cracking down on text talk the occasional spelling mistake is understandable but there is no excuse for poor grammar

 

Some threads are unreadable alot of people on this site are uneducated and illiterate by choice it seems

It's amazing how many people don't know the differnce between There, Their and They're. It does make hard reading from time to time but if I read the post a few times I tend to make some sence of it.

 

It also annoys me the ammount of Emoticons used on some posts! I use the odd one now and again but some people have to put 5 or 6 on each post!

 

Nothing to get to down about though, Just my daily moan!

 

Have a nice Day people!

I've got no problem with genuine spelling mistakes, but I've recently started ignoring users who persist in using stupid chav deliberate miss spelling: 'Lyk' 'ov' 'sumfink' 'enyone' and all that crap. That and text talk get right on my tits..

 

Oh and 'How's it bread' always makes me laugh when somebody's talking about a dog!
