IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

[owlbearcounter]

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

[ranetree]

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

[tassiekitty]

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

[soggywarmpockets]

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:

Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:

[inthememetime]

TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER

TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3

TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

[the-haiku-bot]

TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE

WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD,

THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[phanboyo]

I’m gonna add

ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC

ROUGE: RED MAKEUP

it’s rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. You’re making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.

[broadminded]

If you’re talking about a weapons CACHE, it’s pronounced cash.

If you say cashay, that’s how CACHET is pronounced which means prestige and does not mean a collection of items stored together in a hidden/inaccessible place.

[therobotmonster]

NO ONE IS ‘PREJUDICE"

PEOPLE ARE “PREJUDICED”

[foreignobjecticus]

If he’s not moving, he’s STATIONARY.

If he’s a fucking space pencil, then carry on with STATIONERY.

[dduane]

If it’s wet precipitation falling out of the sky, it’s RAIN

If it’s someone ruling over people, it’s REIGN

If it’s holding back someone from (or getting someone to stop doing) something, that’s to REIN [them] IN (…as if you were using REINS on a horse)

[dduane]

(and oh yeah)

If you’re telling someone they’re going to have to reconsider an opinion or course of action, then they have ANOTHER THINK COMING

(because “another thing coming” makes no damn sense whatsoever unless they’re in some kind of monster movie, ffs)

[petermorwood]

Just adding:

HOARD - (n.) a collection of stuff, (vb) to collect a collection of stuff.

HORDE - (n.) a collection, group, mob or host of people, often unruly or barbaric.

PEEL - (n.) the outside skin of fruit, also (archaic n.) a tower house, sometimes spelled PELE; (vb) to remove the outside skin of fruit; by extension, usually as PEEL OFF, to remove clothing, but also (aviation) to break away, one aircraft at a time, from a larger formation.

PEAL - (n.) the sound of several church bells ringing together or in sequence; (vb.) to ring bells in this manner.

BREACH - (n.) a break or opening, usually in a wall; (vb) to make such an opening, also a whale rising clear of the surface of the sea. (The words BREACH and BREAK are distant relatives.)

BREECH - (n.) the bottom end of a gun-barrel, where it’s loaded; also (BREECH PRESENTATION) a baby being born bottom-foremost; also (n. pl.) BREECHES, a historical style of trousers ending just below the knee and (archaic vb) to BREECH, to dress a boy in breeches (adult clothing) for the first time.

English is…  Complicated.

[neil-gaiman]

And my favourite recent one,

It is “TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES” and not “TO ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES”.

[dduane]

Per a request from @datundit:

“Oh would you please add

‘would/could/should HAVE’ not *of*

to the english grammar post.

That’s the most frequent offence I see committed by native speaker in the wild.

Thank you

[trashprinceward]

“I could care less” - You must care at least a small amount in order to care less. What you mean is “I couldn’t care less.”

Site - A place.

Sight - Something to look at, or the ability to see

Check - Confirming the status of something

Cheque - A bill or method of payment.

[cursedonyx]

I can’t not reblog this. It matters 💚

[infernalrusalka]

This is so important! People don’t realize how off putting those mistakes are! And I get it, I make mistakes too, I am not a native speaker but spell check exists! Grammarly works well too if you don’t trust a spell check

Also, the Keepers: "Let's try to kill them with some of those Pensieve Guardians we created."
