It's wrong, but it is quite a good mistake I thought!

A good friend always types throught instead of thought. On fb yesterday I read we're when the person meant where, as for those who can't use the correct their they're or there

It's because we are, most of us, on portable devices that have minds of their own. The whip/wipe was most certainly down to that.

Oh dear, I mentioned that one on another thread

I agree, mollie whip and wipe spring to mind.

The howlers that make me groan most (and I'm ready to duck now) are those in the thread headers here on GN. How hard is it to check before you carry on writing and hit the post message button? They distract me from the original message and I always want to post some glib comment but I've resisted so far...I can think of several recent ones but won't list them, that'll be a bit unkind. But I expect others will remember some too...

That jumped out at me but I cannot think of any more I have noticed recently.

No, I'm useless at spotting things like that
