Moselle Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 My other favourite, which appears to now be added to some dictionaries sadly, is agreeance. The word is AGREEMENT. I am in agreement, not I am in agreeance. That's news to me, lol. I always thought the correct term was, and I quote...."I am in agreeance with what is being said"......NOT......"I am in agreement with what is being said" Sorry but I must say you got it wrong. One of my pet hates besides people getting "their, there, they're" and "too, to, two" perpetually wrong is people actually copying those that have no idea on the proper use of the english language, eg....anyways....I thought it was anyway! Sorry, no I haven't go it wrong and I hope you are actually joking when you say I have. http://www.english-for-students.com/Agreem...-Agreeance.html http://www.wmjasco.com/89-9sample.pdf (page 20) http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/agreeance.html http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/agreement @ Aiden, yes me too! It's AIDAN, not AIDEN, lol. Haven't gotten around to checking out your links but will do so tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpotTheDog Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think we all need to try and begin to commence to start to calm down. Some people make typos. Some people can't spell. And some people are just dumb. Yes, yes, I said it, universal shocker: some people on the intermation superwebway are dumb. (Note to sheridan: "intermation suberwebway" is my affectionate terminology for the internet. Please don't quote it and declare that I'm some sort of ingrate. Honestly. I know some big words. Like marmalade, or wheelbarrow.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralPug Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think we may all need to enter Pedants Anonymous Hello, my name is Angela and I am a pedant. ;) Another one that really irks me is the all too common use of "draws" when "drawers" is meant. I indignantly corrected an ad agency on that one once and the reply came back : ..."and I would like to drawer to your attention...". I bet that was a big hit around the office. [attempts sarcasm] Does that make me a card carrying member of Pedants Anonymous? (You can be Chairperson, Chewbacca!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debyork2 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 One of my all time favourites was a newspaper 'for sale' ad.....for a 'chester drawers' . I cringe every time I see 'sort after'. Recently spotted a menu board outside a local cafe, read, in part, "sandwiches...Ass fillings'. That was more of a 'what were they thinking', than a spelling or grammer blooper! Local newsreader a few months ago said a 'sickly microbe' had been found in the water supply. Poor thing!! Somebody ought to write a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it, every single one of us will make a mistake unintentionally sometime soon, and that is what will save us from going to hell.

Christina Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hate seeing bad spelling so I was horrified to see that I did this very thing in a recent post. Couldn't be bothered editing so I left it At first I thought your post was going to be about people getting offended when anyone gave advice that they didn't like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
