Re: When Descriping Widgets

I thought it was intentional - meant to be punny. stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes

 

Your list is missing something though. I'd like to know how the words are often misspelled. For example, how does one misspell twelve? Or banana?

 

As far as widgets go, there are some crazy spellings out there... bowl = bowel is the most disturbing that comes to mind.

I should of just let it slide, but have to own up on my mistakes.
Thought you had my back @hidy-hoo ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜

How can you misspell your own state? lol

Twelve - Tawellva
Banana - Bananna

My apologies to anyone that can't spell correctly, no offense meant!

Apparently, I can't either. ๐Ÿ˜€

Re: When Descriping Widgets

My favorite is the most misspelled word from the state of Wisconsin.

 

Edit - oh, duh, that's exactly what you said in above post. Somehow I missed that line amongst the rest.

Re: When Descriping Widgets

Okay - I can understand someone misspelling banana with an extra N. Even spelling liar as lier or googling 'how to spell gray' because they don't get gray vs grey and that both are acceptable... but I'm still not getting twelve. Oh, perhaps they're leaving the E off the end? twelv? That's probably it.

 

 

In a google quest I did come across this:

What an obtuse thought Smiley Very Happy

 

Or maybe it's more of an acute thought?

@loveyourimagination49  I only tease peeps that I really, really like! Smiley Happy,,,and I also have a problem with spelling ~ not necessarily spelling a word incorrectly, but typing a word with the wrong meaning.  There was a question about measuring pants, and I posted "what about the pants waste" rather than "pants waist" ~ that comment took the thread in a whole new direction! Smiley Wink

 

copper, lol on the bowels!  I have posted about my "bowel" hobby before...as of this minute there are 17 listings with the word "bowel" rather than "bowl".  If I have extra time on my hands I will do a bowel check and send a message to the seller letting them know.

 

The use of the word "sell" instead of "sale"...as in, "how are your sells" is another one that I can't figure out ~ I guess it could be a regional thing . 

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

Re: When Descriping Widgets

Interesting hobby, Hidy! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Bet you have some interesting seller reactions to that one. And possibly find some great deals that way, too.

 

The only reason I came across that gem is because years ago I was searching for a specific bowl. I ended up using the search feature on watch count that adds common misspellings to your search and found what I was looking for... but it was spelled "bowel".

Re: When Descriping Widgets

Went looking of course.
The ones I've found were either sellers from China or had maybe 3 pictures, bad descriptions or had bad feedback.
They had so many things wrong, I wouldn't know where to begin.
So it's all on you.๐Ÿ˜‚
