Sometimes, I want to make a list of oft-mangled words that make me cringe and not want to read communities.
The herb that makes the tea to start menstruation (incidentally, that makes it an emmenagogue) is parsley. Not, as some would have us believe, "parsely". No, dear, spelling it the same wrong way consistently still doesn't make you right.
Also, unless you are oviparous, and if you are, then you should be rich, that being something humans aren't designed to be, you are not laying in your bed in night. You are lying there. I know, I occasionally make the same mistake, and have to refer back to the rule to correct myself. But... try, won't you? Please?
No, I'm not going to strip with you. But if you're asking my indulgence, then certainly I can bear with you. Not "bare". That's just rude when we've never met before, don't you think?
While we're at it, I wish I could make the misspelling "dissapear", well, disappear.
Yep. Sometimes I want to make a list. And make it easy to find. Definitely post it somewhere online. And then I remember -- there already are lists. They're called "dictionaries". And, well, we know these people already aren't consulting them.
But oh, how I wish they would.
