I am a stickler for good spelling. Here are the mistakes that annoy me most.
Defiantly instead of Definitely
This is the one that winds me up more than any other – and it’s probably the one you will see most on Facebook. “I defiantly agree… I am defiantly not going to do that…” This just makes you look like an idiot.
Thankyou instead of Thank you
Yes, it is two words. This one has started creeping in to Facebook and text messages. I don’t know why – have I missed a memo?
Loose instead of Lose
You might think we are going to loose the match but you are still a loser.
Lightening instead of Lightning
Stop being a moron – learn to spell.
Alot instead of A lot
If you care about something a lot, then spell it as two words.
Suprise instead of Surprise
Okay, so you are surprised by how to spell ‘surprise’. That doesn’t mean you should get it wrong.
