Attention people! Please read!!!

To be fair, although I have heard it often in speech, I've never seen it in print, much like I never see anyone actually spelling out "libary."
 
When referring to soldiers fighting on horseback, "calvary" instead of "cavalry".

:scream:
 
^I'm always tempted to make some sort of crack about not knowing crucifixion was still around in the 1700s or 1800s.
Best thing the Romans ever gave us. :cool:
That would be fellatio.

Seriously, this kind of mistakes are very surprising to me. As a foreigner, I learned English written first and spoken later, so that kind of confusion is really behind me. Just like "they're", "their" and "there", or the ungainly "could have" --> "could of": in my mind, they sound completely different. It took me forever to realize that people were misspelling them and that I wasn't a complete idiot for not understanding what people were writing! :lol:
 
We all have our little windmills we must tilt at. I'm on a crusade to get people to stop saying "liberry" instead of "libRary." Sadly, I had to start with my co-workers... at the library.

Well I do it just to be confuse people. I sometimes say "I need a book on strawbraries from the liberry." just to fuck with people.

It actually said "Valentimes" on a store sign? Good Grief, that's pathetic. :rommie:

Many years ago, while shopping at Home Depot, I pointed out that a sign erroneously stated, "Prices Very". The worker bee gave me a blank stare and asked, "So, what's the problem?"
