I continue to be amazed and disappointed, yet entertained, by the many ways people find to misuse the English Language. 😳
Pros
It seamingly permeates all of society – You seemingly don’t know one word from the other.
Leaving them so depended on others – That is dependent on knowing the correct word
The powerful engine enabled verticle takeoff – That’s just straight-up wrong.
They’d sell corpses to medical schools for extra mullah. – If they’d had a little extra moolah, they could have hired someone to teach them that a mullah is a Muslim teacher/priest.
Amateurs
Calm in sense seems a tad uncommon – but such misusages are all too common.
God will reign down blessings – the correct spelling of rain being one of them.
Feb 21th – I don’t know what to say??! 😯
HE’S NOT JOKING
How many liberls does it take to CHANG a Log by bolb????
NONE!!!! THEIR too BUsy changing?????? their chender
From week to wicked, building a hot rod – That spelling is weak – and wicked
I was waiving my hand – to renounce the incorrect spelling of waving
Proof is easy to fine – and misusage is easy to find
Working in retail is a right of passage – But you didn’t use the right rite.
It wheats my appetite for more – My wheats are shredded, so I use whets.
It could have been their deminer – But it was more likely their demeanor.
Please weight, or is it wait while I cringe. Those tricky words that start with W.

Spellcheck doesn’t like ‘wight.’ I’ve only used it here a couple of times. It suggests ‘white,’ but I’m not racist. 😉 😳

People are so eager to be heard/read, that they spew just anything. Careful composition and proofreading are old-fashioned. Spellcheck and Grammarchecker are just making it worse. 😦 😳

I think acyrologia must be related to phonosemantics, and we get the gist by the sound the word makes.

I’m not so sure. That seems related to reception and analysis, where this is organizing and broadcast. Two opposite things. 😕
