"Supposebly" is NOT a word!!!

It's not so much words that people will misspell, like the ones you quoted but words that are simply mispronounced but guess that's the same thing really . My one neighbor is famous for this. Whenever she talks to me, there's always at least one word she mispronounces and I really have to refrain from laughing out loud. One word she constantly gets wrong ..the word hover..as in a helicopter hovering. She says "hoover" as in the vacuum. Or how about the phone company Verizon..she says veri-zone. I have to admit I sometimes mix words up..I sometimes get worse and worst confused...LOL At one time I refrained from using worser as I thought, no that can't be a word, but looked it up and lo and behold it was.

I almost spit coffee all over my monitor from laughing! You sound just like me. I hear things like this all the time and it drives me insane! "Supposabley" and "spaded" are very common but I haven't heard "hearst" yet. It certainly makes you wonder what they're teaching in our schools, doesn't it?

Ask when they say it like this 'I axed him', I makes someone asking you a question a painful and possibly fatal even. I figure if someone 'axes me a question' that the question is rhetorical. We always joke about becoming a traveling nurse, driving a hearse - I guess that is a good way for people to remember how it is said. How about when people talk bout someone changing their mind and saying the made a 360 degree turn when it should be 180. I have a list of them.

Most definitely! My all time favorite has got to be 'axed' instead of 'asked'. It makes me laugh (sarcastically) a little whenever I hear someone say this as I find it rather annoying.

I guess it depends on where you are from on how you speak. I'm a Texan so we say aint and ya'll. The words that drive me crazy when misued or idea and ideal. Texans normally always say ideal.

This is funny Bon! I cant think of any off the top of my head, Im still laughing at the ones you mentioned. LOL I have a habit of putting "your" when it should be "you're". Cos thats what I meant, Ive been corrected a few times by a disgruntled myLotter. LOL They were just looking for a reason to say something smart to me is all. I sort of over look some things like that, I guess as long as I can tell what they meant. Bay Lay Gray xx

Well I must be quite a simpleton..or very unobservant.. I really don't disect others vocabulary since I really didnt care for it when I attended school.. I think..we can get too hung up on things.. I wouldnt know any difference..spaded for some in the country is the same as spayed.. Like we say creek with a long e..in the counrty and hollers they say crick.. It's all about culture and accepting people..Not everyone is blessed with the education you may have. Happy Thanksgiving!

The word I hate the most which really really grates on me is INNIT. It is so common and a blatant misuse and laziness of isn't it. You can't shorten it. I am with your all the way, I think elocution lessons are in order. The shameful fact is that these commonly mispelt and misused words start to come into the dictionary!

Been setting here for 10 minutes and can't for the life of me think of any although I have heard the ones you mention and realize they are wrongly used/spelled frequently.

I bugs me when my mom calls drawers "draws". "Irregardless" annoys me too although I think that is just a stupid real word. Taking "pitchers" with a camera... "neutering" a female cat (yes, I have heard that)...pregnant women saying that the baby is in their "stomach", I'm fine with "belly" or even "tummy" if she's talking to a child but unless she's into canibalism the baby is NOT in her stomach. That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure there are more.

Here in my country, we speak our language there are so many words also that people used to talk but you can't really find the true meaning in our own dictionary but with same meaning if you used in a sentence. Specially when you been in a group of gays here, you will think that you been out of their place, they have different pronunciation and they even change the word directly but with the same meaning. Sometimes it drives me nuts coz I felt that I'm lost and can't ride on what they are saying about.

Honestly I could care less. SO many people here have accents so you get used to it. As long as we can understand each other thats all that I care about. One of my friends pronounced coconuts cockanuts... that was kinda funny.

hmm.. it all depends on the tongue of the speaker.. and the ears of the listener... :)

Calm down dear, not everyone has a spell checker on their computer. A lot of people here come from around the globe so therefore may not be grammatically correct all the time. Give them some grace, well me too hehe sometimes I don't get to spell check everything. Forgive us for we are not here to drive you nor anyone nuts just want to make some friends and chat away. Just my opinion, take care.

I cannot think of any off the top of my head, but your three are enough to take care of you and me both. I also have a problem with teachers who cannot spell, and do not believe you if you tell them they are wrong. Oops, I should not have said that, end of a long day. I have a hard time not correcting the things that are like the ones you mentioned. It is all I can do to keep quiet about it. Open mouth, insert foot.

i don't know whether there are other words that people misuse them. but i think i am not drive crazy. that's ok. just not think too much about that. langue is used to communicate, when this aim is gain, don't care too much about others.
