Evolution of language

has anyone noticed the common spellings of some words are now becoming are they are pronounced or envisaged.

the 2 i see all the time, incl dogsey, are discusting and spade.

Need to invest in Google Chrome - built in spell checker!

But yes - always makes me look twice!
(Having said that - my spelling is horrific at the best of times!)

I'm a primary teacher by trade - I'm used to very very amusing phonically plausible spellings! The one that got me in fits of laughter the other day was assembly... assmellberly. Good try, and if you were sat next to some of the very gassy class I once taught - quite probable really.

Some miss spellings really annoy me especially if they are on a sign - if you write a sign wouldn't you check the spellings were correct ?
Also the turned around "R" that makes my blood boil !
My husband has I believe dyslexia (not diagnosed in his day at school it was called thick ) but he goes out of his way to spell things correctly even if that means asking me to write things out so he can copy them. If he can bother then why can't others

scuz they don reed buks no more.....
cosn if yer do like yez absawb duh spelins.

Then took me about 5mins to read!!! I hate people who spell like that! I also h8 ppl who ad in numb3r5 4 l3tas

I am suprised that the Oxford dictionary hasn't shunk

I will do that occasionally in texts, only if I do not have enough spaces to do the word!

The bonus of (now) having unlimited texts yay! Massive pain when I was on pay as you go!

DEFINITELY!

you and me both

What?
