I blame Girls Aloud for that one, as an entire generation now believes it’s the correct spelling of “allowed” due to their band name. |

There's been a lot of "are" instead of "our" recently.
As in "Let's get behind are team." |
It's usually "are country". |  |

How about when people put a space before the question mark? |
Fun fact: the French do that if they're proper. I learnt this from a horrible sh1thead of a French lawyer who had me finding a way of making her site do this (and on other punctuation) without line breaks. [Post edited 18 Apr 2024 11:20]

Less and fewer.
Less - a lower amount of something you can't count. e.g. "there is less water".
Fewer - a lower amount of something you can count. e.g. "there are fewer glasses of water". | | | |

When you have a name that can spelled two (or more) different ways and you send somebody a work email (which obviously shows the correct spelling), then the fecker replies saying 'Hi (wrong spelling), thank you for your email.

Saw a thread on here saying that the most important game left was Leicester V West Brom, next Saturday.
It’s not next Saturday, it’s this Saturday. Next Saturday is the 27th. Hopefully Leicester read the thread and will turn up a week late. |  |

But it isn't the road that is the active agent, nearby water is responsible for the flood and then it is the road that suffers the flooding. | |
