Maybe that's why we don't see it as much from Scots. We would pronounce it 'should av' , not 'should ov'. I only encountered 'should of' when I started using the net. I did wonder..... :P

Actually, thinking about it, I think the one word that is most misspelt on Buzzjack is definitely er… definitely.

 

It's not definately, definatly or any other bizarre combination of letters that spring unbidden into your head - it's definitely!

you should definitely be on QI :P

Another word frequently spelt incorrectly is separate. Most often than not it's typed up as seperate. -_-

My pet hates-

 

1) The mysterious 'of'. Should of, could of, would of..... What's that all about?

2) The rogue apostrophe. ''I'm off to the shop's''. It's just a plural. It doesn't need a bloody apostrophe!

3) Crocodile sentences that go on for 20 lines with neither a comma, hyphen, capital letter or full stop in sight.

4) The 'mix and match' of where/were; whether/weather; there/their.

 

Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhh :arrr:

 

I'm going for a lie down now. I'm coming out in a rash just thinking about it. :drama:

I really agree with those, those are the exact four things that annoy the hell out of me :arrr: But we're not all like that, just so you know :teresa:
