More errors from this thread: grammer, usin, over done, Australisns, accomodation, forgedabout, realy, filligree.  (Mozilla firefox would catch all except one - overdone is one word.)

Another thought:  Cake is BAKED in an oven, not COOKED!

I, too, have wondered at your new style of posting. I didn't give it a whole lot of thought as I reckoned (I used to live in Kentucky) it was just a new signature, as it were, of your personality. We can sit here at our keyboards and never really know what is going on behind the monitor. 

I can empathize with your feelings as right now my left wrist is having a terrific flare up with osteoarthritis. I know that is nowhere as severe as rheumatoid can be, but I think it is wonderful that you can accommodate yours like you do.

I recently underwent spinal fusion surgery to relieve severe spinal stenosis due to arthritis. It has allowed me to once again look forward to Spring and gardening. My knees are both replacements. I'm feeling like a bionic woman!

I hope that you find relief from your burden and meanwhile I'll just enjoy your posts and enjoy the unique (not most unique   ) adverbs.

I am having alot of fun with this, but I have to rise early tomorrow and better lay off for the night. What a (an?) hilarious way to end the day! Does that rule still apply?

You had it right the 1st time ;)

I forgot to add:

ok = OK, O.K., or okay.

ect. = etc.

Hero: A person, typically a man, who is admired for courage or noble qualities.

Courage:  The ability to do something that frightens one/Strength in the face of pain or grief.

Not spelling but one of those language pet peeves.  I am so sick to death of hearing about sportspeople being classified as heroes.  This is one of those words that seems to have lost all meaning in the modern world.  Though, I suppose if I think about it, many of them may be frightened about the future and what will happen to their health after all the steroids they have taken.  If they are truly frightened about taking drugs and do it anyway so they can be better is that courage???  And if they go out into the arena when they are already injured is that strength in the face of pain or just plain stupidity.

The world needs some real heroes again.

Oh and I take steroids on a daily basis , but I am sure that doesn't qualify me as a heroine. 

I don't know about that.  From what I know of your story you fit the word far better than any of these sportspeople

AI'm a complete grammar nazi, due to my previous career as a sub-editor. Apostrophes are my biggest peeve - the film posters on the London Underground for "Two Weeks Notice" (written that way) made me want to hurl myself on to the tracks.

In UK schools, spelling and grammar have become far less important, as demonstrated by the fact that you can get an A in English Language and Literature GCSEs even if your paper contains spelling and grammatical errors. Ask a teenager the difference between a noun and a proper noun, or to define a preposition or conjunction, and they'll look at you like you're speaking a different language. It's very sad.

two spelling issues/funnies

my dog's name is tianshi--he is a chinese dog and this name means angel

and it often refers to a girl angel but he's ok with it

i can't hardly even remember how to spell it half the time

i have to look it up ;)

it is pronounced chin shoo so i often spell his name chinchin ;)

the other super funny spelling snafu i still occasionally chuckle about

one of my favorite posts of all time!!!

just belly laughing funny--reaches across the miles

Holy bat crap batman! That's hysterical!

LOL! What a typo! Thanks for sharing the thread, K8memphis.

Since we're all bringing up spelling/grammar pet peeves, here's mine:

"I just graduated college."

Really? Are you sure? Because I thought people graduated FROM college.

I know I make a myriad of mistakes myself, but that one just bugs me.
 

This is misused too often on this site:

desert = dessert
 

My MIL always says, " I told her pacifically, not to do that"  Really......are you kidding me.......the word is specifically!  No matter how many times I correct her she still says it wrong!!

A

My sweet sweet hubby says that... drives me up a wall! Especially since I'm a member of the Walt gang ;)

its = possessive for it -- as in, the cake is on its own board.  (NO apostrophe!)

it's = contraction for it is and it has.

More common errors:  dowell, buldge, refridgerator,  judgement (although typically British), suprise, thankyou, hevy, exactely, ammount, down payment, straight forward, manufacture (when "manufacturer" is meant), and cause (without an apostrophe, when "because" is meant).

K8 thanks for posting that link.  I missed that discussion.  I'm still chuckling away to myself.

Today, my husband had a puffy cheek, so I asked what was in his mouth, and he says, "A lozenger." My  reply was, "Are you effing kidding me?" 

AThere IS one item on the shelf. There ARE several options available.

Getting these mixed up drives me bananas! It's not spelling, but it's obnoxious.

seperate/seperating = separate/separating (you can remember which spelling is correct by the definition "keeping apart", not keeping apert!)
 

I went to the shops yesterday afternoon , and what should I see but ........... a sign on the cheap shop's door. 

ENTRY THREW NEWSAGENT. I am actually curious where the entry threw the newsagent. He seemed fine as he was standing behind the counter . 

A

No seriously... Oh my...

I have had such a wonderful time reading all these posts! My MIL always says "breaksfast". I sudder every time I hear that extra "s". And l laugh every time I remember the local news anchor reading "ka shay" instead of "cash" when describing a "cache" of weapons that was discovered.

I look forward to reading more of these fun posts.

I was wondering what/where the entry point was through which one was to enter. Poor agent! He must feel pretty miserable by day's end.
