Typos. As in, when I write a post, proof-read it quickly, hit "Post", then re-read it again only to find there are at least two bloody spelling mistakes or grammatical errors soon afterwards. Sods Law >

For once things were going along ok - even decent, then someone comes along and ruins it.
Someone always ruins the party. |

Greengrocers or stalls where they can't spell tomatoes or potatoes - they've put tomatos and potatos. Or people who spell the single versions tomatoe and potatoe.

Businesses, large and small who don't bother to update their websites.
Websites with glaring spelling mistakes.e.g. holiday acomodation. Businesses which have folded and not bothered to remove their websites. |

I hate having to be patient. Constantly waiting for things. Even simple things. It's quite hard to do. Harrumph

The keyboard disappearing on my tablet if I am trying to type something and the page is still loading because of adverts.
Also the auto focus thing on forms where it tries to make you type in something when you want to type something else. |

![]() ![]() I once spotted patatoes, cabbiges, cuddlefish (cuttlefish) and my all-time favourite: kempbap (kebab). Still makes me laugh. |

Potato's and tomato's as well. Frankly, I rather have tomatos and potatos over those.

The Government in Scotland wasting money on translating forms into gaelic when no one in Scotland is mono linguistic in the language anymore, according to the census in 1971 just over 470 people only spoke gaelic, by 1981 that number had fallen to zero, paying money to translate forms is therefore utterly pointless!

People who can't spell the noun LICENCE as in TV LICENCE.
They will join a thread where the subject is LICENCE and still spell it LICENSE. It's the American spelling of course. It's bad enough having to accept 'cup cakes' - I'm not giving in to 'license'

Front page of todays Telegraph is the headline "Family devastated by Cornwall surfing tragedy"
Shouldn't that be Cornish? |

People who go to hospital with minor illnesses/ailments - and by that I don't mean hospital outreach centres or drop in clinics, I mean those who go to their main hospital's A+E department as the first port of call for anything and everything!
A pretty topical one for me at the moment! Argh!
