I am trying to re-train my OH to use you're correctly, as he always writes your in texts and it drives me mad! His grammar is otherwise very good and he is well educated with an English teacher for a Mum, but I am struggling to break that bad habit for some reason.

Lots of dialects have stuff that doesn't make sense to people from outwith their area. We say a lot of things which would be deemed wrong, but I know the difference. I know how to say it correctly to someone who isn't local and I know how to write it down (I hope!)

Whereabouts are you from? Ive never heard of either of those

Id probably give someone a very funny look if they said 'teen' to me :rotfl:

I wouldn't say it to you though as i'd not expect you to know what it meant. I'm from the north-east of Scotland.

I say bought, i can't understand why people say brought! but it doesn't get my goat as much as people who write 'discusting', but that's a whole other thread!

Also some people write ect, instead of etc, for etcetera.

I do realise a lot of people are dyslexic and I take that into account. I'm not to know unless they tell me. I don't point out spelling mistakes to individual posters incase they are. But i'm sure a lot of people who aren't dyslexic do it.
