loose instead of lose.
That particular misspelling drives me absolutely crackers. EVERYONE does it nowadays.
We've had these threads before. The one that gets to me is "pacifically/ pacific" rather than "specifically/ specific"
A student once wrote she was writing an "sa" - took me a long time to figure out "essay".
Where has it gone? Perhaps down t' pit ............. as in "When I were a young lad my ambition was, not to be a film star, but to work down t' pit."I keep seeing it written as "where". At the moment I'm reading a lot of holiday reviews and it is staggering how often "where" is written instead of "were". It's not just the odd typo either, it happens often enough that it is obvious that is how the writer thinks it should be written. I've seen it in a few emails I've received as well. Just now I was doing a search on the IKEA site for an item and got the message: "No matches where found for your search".
It wasn't bothering me at first, but now that I'm noticing it all over the place it's irritating me now! Does this annoy anyone else?
