And as soon as it appears someone has to point out the errors.

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.

It's best not to get annoyed by fictional scenarios!

You can edit your post if you notice the errors straight away.

And websites that don't accept credit card numbers with spaces between the groups of figure (XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX). It can't be that hard to allow for that - many other sites do.

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.

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

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

People who say Tescos and Lidls. Boils my piss and some people on here do it all the time.

No you didn't go to Tescos you went to Tesco. You didn't go to Lidls you went to Lidl.

My mate went to a kebab shop and ordered a wine burger thinking to himself, "That sounds interesting, I'll try one of those". When it came it was a plain burger with a slice of pineapple on it.

Wine should have read Hawaiian.

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!

The local council wants to do that with road signs in Dundee. A pointless waste of time and money.

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'

That annoys me too, likewise practise/practice. The s when it's a verb, the c when it's a noun. It's not that hard to remember!

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!

I always think when people say that they're actually saying Tesco's and Lidl's.
