[Closed] Common misspellings and grammatical errors on social media.

Honestly[b],[/b] if I see one more post from people who want a bit of advise on how to seel there chester draws or there mounting bike I’ll go crazy. Perhaps there looking for some advise on how to loose weight because there too fat. I no your not a moron for spelling things the wrong way constantly but it does make you look lik one.

I think they should dedicate a term of secondary school [b]E[/b]nglish lessons to[s]wards[/s] [s]‘[/s]common misspellings that make you look like a moron and the correct way to spell them.[s]’[/s] Why is it so hard for some people?

I find myself having to bite my tongue ([s]bite my fingers?[/s] or maybe my fingers) from correcting people all the time as it makes you look like a grammar [b]N[/b]azi[b].[/b] No-one likes being corrected but I figure if no-one tells them [b]then[/b]they’ll continue [s]making[/s] to make the same mistake for years. What to do though when it’s your best mate or manager at work?[s] Anyway, as you were.[/s]

Seriously hard work all that, I do really detest the phrase "I brought" to indicate they have purchased something. Perhaps it's a regional thing?

Tires is another one that gets my goat, this ain't the good ole USA cowboy! I also want to throttle anybody who describes "hydrolic" as the means to powering their brakes, it's hydraulic for Christ sake.

Anyway back to things that matter.

I blame Mick Jagger.

If he can't get no satisfaction then surely he must take some satisfaction from that?

B minus! I'll take that, thanks Mr Mole. 😀

I do smile when I see 'mounting bike' because you do mount a bike, as it were, so you can at least follow their line of logic. There's no excuse for chester draws though.

Stationary **Sigh**

Trial which will see every product given a bar-code, from medical items such as pacemakers to day-to-day items such as stationary, which will mean supply chains for hospitals are made simpler, reducing the estimated £150million the NHS wastes each year on products which have been either oversupplied or perished

Good grammar, the difference between knowing your sh*t and knowing you're sh*t

Shouldn't that have ended with a full stop?

Not even if brought my bedroom furniture in the county town of Cheshire?

Stationary **Sigh**

I'm going to offer an amnesty for stationary/stationery, on account of, I do it myself. I have a fairly good sense of the shape and spelling and use of words, always have, but this one beats me often. So I figure, if it even defeats a linguistic genius like wot I obz are, then no wonder it defies normal people.

If I hadent of been on FB I wouldent know of half of what goes on in this world its discusting. Feminsist and Athiest are retarted.

Using 'disconnect' instead of 'disconnection' annoys me. To illustrate it's stooopidness try using the word 'connect' in the same way.

"I was on the phone to my solicitor when the connect failed"

Errr..nope.

Mis-spellings I can cope with, it's usually possible to work out what's meant. Lack of punctuation is worse - for example:

Cleaning up peoples mind not throwing or dumping stuff bins exist no excuse

StationEry as in pEn
