I saw one that made me think of you (hint hint) severing, rather than serving. WOW.
This just made me laugh so hard!!!
My biggest one is when food industry "professionals" say and spell is MAR-sca-pone rather than the proper MAS-CAR-pone. They even do it on food network and if you have closed captioning on (my husband is deaf) they spell it improperly. Drives. Me. Nuts.
But I agree with the rest as well... And I worry about our youth when elementary school teacher friends of mine do it. :/
Before noon today… (fun!)
of/off, pipping, to/too, bot/both, use/used, us/use, livve, shoud, acess, build/built, its/is, its/it’s, havn’t, youll, wont, cant, dont, wouldnt, this years/this year’s, Ye, Id/I’d, Im/I’m, Ive/I’ve, doesn’t/don’t, Uk, two heavy, nozzel, dummys, crisco, Minnie mouse, satin ice, sandwhich, assmebled, be/by, Nintend, Calla Lilly’s/Calla Lilies, meet/met, have/has, oposit, happens/happened, subjetive, nether/never, eveything, dowl, comprised/compromised, definatly, weeding cake, daughters/daughter’s, insite/insight, just, every/ever, contured, conture, fat daddy, mug/mud, Ok, dreamsiscle, dreamcisle, icicng, may/many, marker/market, petifore, bcause, ect, you/your, krispe, pikichu, recipie, recipies, xustomers, cos, foe/for, accountantcy, lierally.
Should be single words: air brush, show piece, over night, every body, over used, hay stack, cheese cake, what so ever, stand point.
Use “?” after questions!!!!
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).
I'm sorry. If you think thank you, one word... you should be smacked!

Yeah, Kara. I agree! It's right up there with the chi-POLE-tay pronunciation of chipotle. ARRRGH!
A lot of people credit a tv chef named Delia Smith for making balsamic vinegar popular in the UK in the 90s, but to this day I think she still calls it basalmic vinegar which does my nut in.
And I hate when people say marscapone instead or mascarpone. Read people!

Yes, she still does... loll, I thought it was only me who ever picked up on that. But then I thought it might be that she has a hard time actually pronouncing it... like some people have trouble pronouncing Specific.... and end up saying Pacific. Bluehue

I have to say, I am a "Y'aller" lol. It is a Kentucky, and Southern thing. What are y'all doing? Are y'all ready to eat? C'mon, let's go, y'all!
This is pretty much where I live. Just 4 miles up the road. I confess, I didn't "get it" when I moved here, half my life ago, but it is really familiar now ;-)
Ta y'all for this. Detest it when adults use baby words. Come on, grow up.
Loathe the abbreviation Y'all. Is you all even English? Try all of you, maybe?
Hate it when people use the singular instead of the plural.
God we are a picky lot.
Well good thing you're very far away from the South (and the US for that matter). Honestly I don't think non Southerners get a right for judgement on "y'all.... It's a regional thing..it's not meant to proper or not proper English. I don't think you can understand this as you're not American and not from the South (where Y'all comes from).
I noticed these mistakes today (auto-correct errors? I doubt it!)...

These are single WORDS... life like, never mind, other wise, tooth pick, some where, over priced, clover leaf, break even, over night, no where, hair lines, over head.
(Am I about to be smacked?)

Yes, y'all is absolutely a southern thing. I can't even tell you how many times a day I hear "y'all" or say it myself.

Yes, I know. I'm saying if someone thinks that thank you is actually spelled thankyou, that's really sad.
Oooh! Gotcha! <- on a side note, I don't think either one of those "words" are actual words! Let me try that again: Oh! I understand now!
AI've said y'all when talking about one person. I live in Louisiana though so it's perfectly acceptable! It does bug me when people spell it wrong. It's a contraction of "you all" so the apostrophe belongs after the "y"; it does not belong after the "a"!

I'm comfortable with y'all. I lived in NJ for 24 years and made sure my kids did NOT pick up the local slang and accent. When my daughter married, she moved to AL. Y'all just flows in the south. What I can't stand is " I'm fix'in to ". It is like saying " I'm gunna " which got you a little pop in the back of the head in my house - lol

When I was growing up (Northern UK), "Giyorr" was totally banned at home, even though we heard it all the time at school
( Give o'er = give over = stop it)
ASpireite I grew up in Northern England with a Southern English mum, she hated that I picked up the local accent and slang when I started school. Missing words out of sentences was her biggest annoyance, like 'what we having for us tea', or 'I'm going up 't shops'. I tried so hard to lose the accent when I moved to London at 18, then I went and married a guy from Barnsley and I am now doomed to talk right common for life.
Also, I am British, and live in Chicago, and y'all has made it's way into my vocabulary somehow. Hmm. But I also use some Dutch curse words, so at least I'm just keeping it global. My poor kids need a translator when they Skype with their grandparents!
