    One of our local estate agents frequently claims that their properties are in a "sort-after location".
  • Not a spelling error but the use of the incorrect word - pressurised rather than pressured when speaking of a person. For example, 'she was pressurised to use correct spelling and grammar' rather than the correct 'she was pressured to use ...'. Only the contents of cans can be pressurised or perhaps this was exactly what the original posters meant.

    Sounds like this thread isn't the one for you ;)

    Think we're all just like-minded people who are making light of the things that irritate us, it doesn't mean we go around correcting people all the time in our day-to-day lives.

    Or the apalling/appaling [sic] spelling of appalling :D

    DD drives me mad with using the word "from" when it should be "for". A habit she has had from an early age. :(

    Personally, I believe it is the more arrogant and forthright ones, who need taking down a peg or two, who get the ribbing. ;)
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
