Delete if not aloud

[doodle]

Winds me up! I can cope with most spelling mistakes (and make a fair few myself) but that makes my teeth wobble.

Haha EKW that made me laugh

My favourite was a woman on a Facebook group I follow describing her horse as an "angle". Never seen that one before!

 

[Melody Grey]

Arghh! I'm dyslexic and have spent a LOT of time in my education working on spelling and grammar, to the point where I now almost have OCD about it.

The one that gets me is.....'does anyone no if.....'
Or random apostrophes everywhere!

 

[Mahoganybay]

I can’t stand it when people call their horse ‘sexy’, there is a women on my friends list on Facebook who calls her mare ‘sexy’ and ‘sexy lady’, what is that all about 😫

Don't you mean random apostrophe's ??

My current favourite on Facebook is people asking for help to get their horse to stand at the mountain block or buying/selling a mountain block.
Oh and people not using capital letters for the name of said horse that won’t stand at the mountain block.

Oh, the irony...

I don't overly mind spelling and grammar mistakes as not everyone can get their heads around it, and I think if people can understand them then it's no biggie (in informal circumstances, not professional ones). However I saw one yesterday that made me laugh. Someone described something that should be done 'altermatic'. Took me a while to understand that they meant 'automatic'. Not seen that one before!

All those poor horses with laminitus or cushions. It annoys me every time I see it.

All that work and now spelling mistakes are in fashion! Bet you didn't see that one coming.

It's not being phased about things that I'm seeing a lot recently, though I suspect it's a genuine mistake people make and don't even realise that the word is fazed.

In my schooldays, I had to write an essay "No talking aloud/allowed" in punishment for talking aloud in class, which wasn't allowed. That stood me in good stead for avoiding that particular spelling mistake.

 

[Hollychops]

My favourite is the phrase 'should of, would of, could of' instead of 'should have, would have, could have'. I know its probably only me that gets frustrated about this but it really bugs me

 

[Keith_Beef]

Spelling test in J1. Teacher calls out words, and we're to write down the word.

My answer to one question: "pander".
To another question: "sent, scent, or cent".

Teacher did not like that...

All of the above and many more. I work in a field where I do a lot of proof reading and I'm a total grammar fascist. I have to stop myself correcting posts on Facebook all the time. Every birthday, I have at least one grammar related present. This was my card from my mum this year. The apostrophe is my particular bugbear (I have been known to rub them out on pub blackboards) although all sorts of things get to me. The confusion between less/fewer and number/amount also wind me up and different TO rather than different FROM as well as the usual there/their/they're; to/too and of course the delightful "could/should/would OF". It's not only you HC!
The thing that bugs me about "Delete if not aloud" is that admins are going to delete them anyway if they're not allowed, there's absolutely no point to saying it, even correctly .

Has anyone seen 'rate my plate' on facebook?

Just....no....its sausage not sosig...you are an adult not a 5 year old child

That's an in-joke after one poster wrote sosig several times. People followed suit to take the p***.

 

[sportsmansB]

When did people start confusing 'of' with 'off' (sometimes with a should / would / could before it too!)
I have become accustomed to the where / were / wear and even an our / are but of and off?

 

[Floxie]

Haha we say 'sosig' out loud - I believe this is to blame.

In other news, I came across this gem last night about a young horse - I'm just speechless:

this sought of quality don't come cheap

 

[Meowy Catkin]

RE horse ads, I recently keep seeing 'sale' used instead of 'sell'.

PS - I know that my grammar and spelling are bad, but I do try to get it right and I am happy to be corrected as long as it is done kindly.

 

[meleeka]

Another that annoys me every time I see it is “Am available to move dun heaps”. Ffs if it’s your business, you really ought to know how to spell the word.

Do you think they'll move it with a digger or a wheelbarrel?

Saw "once there gone, there gone" on a Facebook page for quite a large local agri-merchants the other day. I don't mind so much when private individuals can't get it right but if you're a business, and not a small business, you need to give your head a wobble.

and "give your head a wobble" HATE HATE HATE this phrase, along with "boils my piss" which is just an unnecessary and unpleasant image
