    She meant 'immense' and spelled 'emence'.

    I know there is just plenty of ****ty grammar on the web and all, but this is outrageous.

    I can't remember where, or what it was about but I once heard someone say that another person was 'blowing it out of precautions'.
    Ye know, just incase.

    The needless shortening of words is bad too, but I'm trying to vent some rage about people just getting a word so completely wrong that they shouldn't be using it.

    Not sure if being ironic or stupid.

    "Thought" and "Taught." I instantly read "I am an idiot and should not have much attention paid to me."

    A guy involved in our football team spells one of the lads names 'Mahal'

    His name is Mulhall...

    One thing that really annoys me is when people use "of" in place of "have" (example: "I should of ....").

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I see cases of awful spelling on a daily basis, thanks to Facebook.
    One girl has a habit of saying "Misses", instead of "Missus".
    "Howya misses".

    Also see a lot of "Y dnt ppl jst mnd der own bizness like wen has my life bcum ur concern grrr jst annoys me cos der all ticks and at d end of d day its my life anal" (Anal-"And all".)

    "I keep loosing me phone".
    You keep loosing it? Don't you mean "lose"?

    For all intensive purposes, you know what they mean.

    Noone gives a crap about spelling any more.

    Had to read that word three times before I understood the meaning of it!

    It has no meaning.

    In primary school I had to write "lines" for running around the class and getting caught by the teacher, I wrote "I must stick in my seet" 100 times.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Pang


    Orange spelt with a r,q and l.

    I was shocked.

    Works best if you read it in a stereotypical Dublin accent :D
    It has no meaning.

    Oh, I assure you it does :p

    But but but, orange already has an 'r'. Curious about the q and l though.

    Oops, threw the r in there by accident :D Let's just say what was written did not resemble 'orange'.

    I think the person in question was later diagnosed with dyslexia. I just remember being shocked!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Pang


    I have seen 'sexy' spelt as sxci.

    I thought it was pretty pointless to change it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,744 ✭✭✭kleefarr


    It's a never ending struggle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭Dick Masterson


    Seen some retard in my area on my Facebook ticker spell memories as "memerys".

    We were in primary school together and he could barely read at the age of 13.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,300 ✭✭✭Garzard


    The amount of people online who confuse "there" with "their" and "they're" is mad.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,744 ✭✭✭kleefarr


    Don't mention the apostrophe!
    I know it's not easy to get right all the time, but once you learn the principle it's fairly straight forward I'd have thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,912 ✭✭✭✭Eeden


    I'm not a spelling Nazi, but did see "au fait" spelled as offey in an email recently.

    Without getting into grammar nazi stuff, I used to know someone who used "to" where "too" was required and their texts werent lazy textspeak so it wasnt short hand.

    This person has a degree.

    As mentioned above using the word 'anal' instead of 'and all' has made for some interesting conversations on the ould Facebook.

    And its crazy how many people I have seen doing it without realising they are talking about their arsehole


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Ice Storm


    'Where' instead of 'were'. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 100 ✭✭Diarmuid1995


    Defiantly instead of definitely really gets on my nerves


  • Registered Users Posts: 291 ✭✭dechol


    Saw something on adverts described several times in the ad as "bran new":o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,186 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    I know someone who uses 'taht' and 'tat' instead of the word 'that' in text messages. It makes me cringe every time.
