rdanieg. The Phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at
Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,

It deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the
olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the
rghit pclae . The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed
it wouthit a porbelm.

This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas

I was ebay just a little while ago and someone was selling an Illawarra PLAGUE, I felt like sending them a message that it's actually PLAQUE unless you can really buy a PLAGUE in the Illawarra.

hahaha
Another one that drives me nuts is "Hence why" Hence MEANS why … you don't need to say it again!

 

[Chris]

It's like saying ATM machine.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Yep, and PIN number :wink:

 

[pacey]

[senexx]

In response to OP then there's Rogue and Rouge

Tongue and non-existent word tounge.

 

[senexx]

And then there is lose and loose

My trousers are loose.

…and the Cowboys lose the football game.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Don't forget bought and brought …

I brought the snags I bought to the barbie.

 

[senexx]

Whether that wether over there is fit to barbecue depends on the weather

 

[system]

My current cringe is the ad on TV for Australian Seniors Insurance Agency where the grey haired bloke says "I didn't have to take one of THEM blood tests or medical tests either"

Fair dinkum, those you idiot not them. Who the hell is responsible for letting this ad go to air? :brick:

Praise the Lord, just saw the ad & he no longer says **THEM**….. :mrgreen:

 

[tigergran]

Hi everyone

How about DEFINITELY and not DEFINATELY…..

Tigergran

 

[tigergran]

Don't forget bought and brought …

I brought the snags I bought to the barbie.

This works the other way, too, as in ….

I bought the snags I brought to the barbie.

Brought - bring
bought - buy

[crouching_tiger]

When people say "probly" instead of "probably"…

:brick:

 

[Juro]

You've got to admit though, English is a pretty screwed up language. How can it be that you add **in** to **correct**, it means the opposite of **correct**. But then when you add **in** to **flamable**, it still means **flamable**!

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

People who can't get their "i" and "e" around the right way… If I had a dollar for everytime I saw "recieve" instead of "receive"... and people who forget that we are in Australia and we use the British English language: humoUr, favoUrite, metRE, theatRE...

A few others that I have seen before... generally people who don't know when to repeat a consonant.

allready, tommorrow, ocur, unfortunatly, imature and my all time favourite;

DIFFERENTS! (instead of difference!) :smiley: Saw that on a Daily Tele blog so it doesn't at all surprise me.

 

[alien]

What about 'effect' and 'affect'.

and colour.

"i before e except after c".
