    Thanks for filling me in on that one. Thankfully not one I've seen but I can see it would be very annoying!

    Completely agree with that. I mean, I am probably one of the worst people for getting annoyed at spelling mistakes and bad grammar. However I wouldn't dream of pulling anyone up on it on a forum like this.

    Apart from anything else, I'm sure I get finger happy on the keyboard sometimes too so I can hardly moan about someone else!

    My current bete noir is "tennent" when they mean "tenant".

    It's all over the property boards on here.

    I saw one the other day that made me laugh. Someone was posting about another person who they described as "bone idol" :D



    That was Simon Cowell's skelington competition. :rotfl::rotfl:

    sorry, couldn't resist - I had a giggle at that post when I read it too

    Lots of people can't say nuclear, pronouncing it nu-cu-lar.

    Have to say this has got me stumped. I've seen the annoying usage of 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely', but can't think of anything for 'weary' ?


    I think it's when people mean 'wary'.
