I don’t generally correct people’s spelling or pronunciation but something I’ve noticed occurring more and more lately is people using “loose” when they mean “lose” and it gets under my skin for unknown reasons

In the USA and other English-speaking countries: weary =/= wary.

For example, I’ll see someone write something like: “I am weary of the campfire because it is so hot”

You aren’t tired of the campfire! You are wary of it!

Oh my goodness, someone pointed this out on Tumblr years ago, but it desperately needs repeating:

Dear English Language Fanfic Writers,

• Wanton: an unrestrained desire, usually of a sexual nature.

• Wonton: a type of dumpling found in Chinese and East Asian cuisine.

English/US - seeing “would of” instead of “would’ve”or “would have”. This one bugs me the most.

This thread peaks my interest.

I hope my words piqued someone else’s interests more.

“For all intensive porpoises” is the one that really annoys me.

They’re dolphins, not porpoises. Fuck, get your cetaceans right.

Irregardless

“Most best”

I’m still confused that reckless driving causes wrecks.

“Toe the party line” To align with the interests of a political party; to get in line with the agenda of the leader of a political party

“Tow the party line” Something to do with tugboats

About 1 in 3 posters here say “loose” when they mean “lose”

Idiots misspelling lose as loose drives me up the wall. Even had someone defend themselves claiming it’s just the common spelling now and to accept it. There, their, and they’re get honorable mention. Nip it in the butt as opposed to correctly nipping it in the bud.

It’s always going to be the “of” people. Its “would have”, “should have” etc and not “would of”.

Niche is pronounced neesh and not nitch

There is no fucking s at the end of “anyway”
