Silly spelling mistakes a sign of things to come?

Yesterday, writing a post I wrote spenditure. :thinking: :crazy_face:
What I meant to write was expenditure.

I have trouble remembering certain words, it’s always the same words, so I made a list and refer to it when needed. Why use six words when you can find one that does the job

Correct spelling for me was mandatory at school - more than three spelling maitakes and you got the belt (strap). That fixed it for me. We probably wouldn’t allow that these days.

Being dyslexic, a friend gave me a Calendar one Christmas with a photo of witty toilet wall graffiti for each month. One month’s graffiti including. “Dyslexics of the world untie.”

I used to be good at spelling but as I get older I forget how to spell a lot of words. In particular diarrhoea, yes, I looked that up. :grinning:

Oh That’s useful to know. But why would anyone want to know how to spell diaheria ?

Perhaps someone who can be reckless during COVID shut down out of boredom just to see what would happen drank close to a gallon of prune juice in a few hours with several large hot / spicy sausages while watching Everybody Loves Raymond and then he needed to look up on the internet how to stop the diarrhea but he learned there was no going back and he paid for his stupidity but yes again the proper spelling comes in handy .

Of course. I hadn’t thought of that.

Playing with words, it’s a bit like Diabetes being spelled ‘direbetes’

Diarrhoea could be spelled Direrear, which describes it well.

That’s no fun. But getting the spelling right doesn’t make it any better, I’m sure.

Get well soon Tiff xx

Because it’s the most common ailment to be off work sick with d00d, and filling in your sick note was a nightmare

However, I haven’t needed to write it since I retired
Except on the forum of course.

I’ve never had a sick note, but I though it was supposed to be filled in by a GP.

I did skive off work once or twice with “food poisoning”, just faked it over the phone. “The flu” was favourite excuse.
