Misspelling

[Shadrach]

I love these threads where Americans talk about the abuses of the English language.
Before I start, @Eggscaping, It's with regard to, or better still, just regarding. There is no S.
Regards, is to pass warm greetings to, as in, give your father my regards.

One of my favourites (yes there is a U in favourites) is this word 'gotton'.
You can have get, for future and present, or got, for past.
Regarding chickens, even though I have adopted it on this forum for the sake of family values, the word rooster isn't the correct term for a male chicken. All chickens are roosters because they go to roost; on a roost bar in a coop, or pen if you're lucky.
The correct term for a male chicken is cock. The truth of this can be seen in the phrase, cockfighting. No it doesn't have anything to do with pornography.
Further validation can be seen in the word, cockerel, which describes a male chicken under the age of one year.

She won't let us see her profile page. It's okay because we can see her interview but she can't see ours.

Ugh.. I almost managed to forget about that. I'm getting it deleted just to spite you.

“Should of” instead of “should have” and “waddles” instead of “wattles” which bothers me so much I put it in my signature!

The correct term for a male chicken is cock.

Not just chickens, peafowl, quail, and pheasants too.

Get your minds out of the gutter people. She's a beautiful woman. Look at her avatar.

I can be quite cocky. Depends on how good I'm feeling.

Here’s a few I see a lot....

-For all intensive purposes (it’s just not that intense.)

-Alot (two words people.)

-I could care less (opposite of what you think you’re saying.)

-Sorry for your lose (way to make people in mourning cringe.)

That being said, my phone makes some horrid changes. Yesterday it insisted that I wanted to say ‘eat’ when I was typing ‘ear’. It autocorrected it 3x. Lately it’s putting capitol letters in the middle of my sentences.

My iPhone has been capitalizing letters also. It happens when I try to edit a sentence and/or insert a word. It’s driving me nuts!
