Misspelling

[R2elk]

I’m afraid to write anything now.
How about irregardless for regardless.

Batty is very anti the use of irregardless. Both mean the same but regardless is the preferred form.

We should be thankful that we have autocorrect to blame for all of our mistakes. Without it we’d have to go back to blaming the public school system.

Or faulty keyboards.

Did you mean to write English speakers use the correct spellings?
I rekon y'all gotton a done different language.

And by the way.... gotten (with an E) has always been fine with me, when used with "have" or "had".
I wish I could have gotten to know you.
Is it the word itself, or the spelling "gotton" that is incorrect?

I see this too often. It appears to be intentional since the i is not near the e on a keyboard.

" this one was in the pin we had our bird in. "

Well, it depends.
In most English dictionaries the word gotton is given as an Americanisation of the past tense of get. I don't think I ever heard it used when I was in the UK. Why bother when got will do the job?
I prefer my English un-Americanised.

'Gotton' is that a colloquialism? I don't think Yankees say that.

I have no idea what the Yankees use, but us truth northerners never use “gotton”. Is that a adult beverage made from cotton blossoms?

I believe that's a 'gotcha'.

I looked up the definition of “gotton”.

Here it is. Do not tell @BantyChooks about this. I might use it for its intended use..

Then why did you tag her?
Kind of defeats the purpose of telling us to not tell her....
