Lots of posts about the trouble UK is having with its boarders.

Indeed, they aren’t getting any reign 🌧️

Indeed some people think we should be reigning back in the drought.

And a History teacher at a rather posh girls’ school told me how her head was in her hands when she read a Sixth form student’s Russian History coursework with repeated reference to Starling 🦅

I must admit to having a chuckle earlier on a thread that mentioned an opinion pole as opposed to opinion poll 😁

Was he any relation to Lennon?

Many supermarkets miss the h out of yoghurt. It drives me mad.

I love " haughty culture" Made me laugh.

A lot of these mistakes stem from people who don’t pronounce words properly, sometimes producing words which don’t even exist like somethink and anythink !

I’ve lost count of the number of times staff in restaurants have asked us if we wanted anythink else!

I am pretty good at spelling, however my spellchecker has a habit of predicting what I want to type with some hilarious or embarrassing results!

When I worked for a cat charity people often wrote to us asking to take their cat in saying it was "spaded" instead of spayed!!!

I worked at a block paving factory. They had to repack some huge blocks of pavers. Tons of them!
Had been marked up as Horny Brown instead of Honey Brown! A misprint on packaging.
Don’t know why someone hadn’t taken a photograph and sold it to the Sun Newspaper😅.
Some howlers are down to spellcheckers.

Oh yes predictive text can be annoying, but humorous as well!

And besides that, we all make spelling mistakes, don’t we, and I have enjoyed reading these funny ones.

One of Amazon's sellers has a standard reply "if you reply to this you will loose your place in the queue."

It must go out hundreds of times a day and I can't believe no-one has pointed it out.

There was a post on a social media site yesterday with a photograph of a sign at a beauty spot saying 'Take only Photographs, Leave only Footprints, Kill only Tim'. Not sure what poor Tim has done to offend.

Very early on in my days receiving crime reports in the Police, I took a report of a burglary at a local plant nursery. I was 16 and had never encountered the business previously so I recorded it as Tree Seeders Nursery. Seemed a legitimate name for such a business. I was later informed that it was actually Treseders.

I often signed emails with "if you have any issue with XXX please do not contact me " completely missing the words "hesitate to" between not & contact - oops!

Our local Facebook group had a post this morning from someone upset that the council had taken down a beautiful conquer tree.

I was wanting to buy a bunk bed. In the shop window was a white one, with a sign saying ‘we have more erected inside’
You’ve guessed haven’t you!!?
I went inside and asked the male assistant if I could see some erecttions!!!😱😱😱
Never been so embarrassed in my entire life 🫨

Have had a bit of a stressful time with a trades person today and been really cheered up with all these snippets.

Doing a college piece on my computer I typed in.....the 5 year old was engrossed in freelplay activities". Bloody autocorrect changed it to foreplay activities!!! I was mortified but it did make the class and lecturer laugh a lot and I did pass 🫣

A student some years ago was writing about her 'neck store naber'. Amazing how she could so completely misunderstand.

Also, in a similar vein, head chog.

Both are correct.

I prefer Yo Valli Yogurt myself 😁

On my first day an audio typist in an engineering company I heard and therefore typed "spare ducks", it was later pointed out to me that it should have been spur ducts!
