Spelling that makes you cringe

[fimm]

Colleague off to join a different team, sending the usual "thank you for having me" email:
"I must thank <name> for his patients and all his help with <blah>..."

Likewise, a Facebook friend shared a picture of the filled pan in which he was cooking a 'leak curry'...

The CNN report "Are billionaires really self-isolating on superyachts?" includes a subtitle, half way down this page,
"Stationery yachts." There was no mention of billionaires and their stationery yachts, only stationary yachts.

This is a stationery yacht:

That reminds me.  As sports have generally been cancelled, it has been decided to broadcast the World Origami Championships.

It will be available on Paperview.

Leak curry's what you have to clean up when you defrost the freezer.

Wondering if they've deliberately chosen a black tee as an attempt to subvert Black Monday protests.

I'm sure there was a malapropism thread but I couldn't find it.

A Facebook friend posted something from her garden or allotment: a cold frame, with a perplex lid.

Left me puzzled...

Twice today I saw "sneak peak". It's peek, you eejits, peek.

Not when you think you've reached the top of Mt McBastard and then round that final corner you see...

Alpkit. Petrichor is one of my favourite words (cos it's one of my favourite things) but not when you put an e on the end of it. That makes it into drudge work.

Tbh, I hate that phrase even when not mistyped.

A sneak peak is something inserted towards the end of a 600km Audax by a sadistic organiser.

I'm being copied in to an email exchange which refers to shoots, when it means chutes.

It's killing me, all the shooting.

I'm trying to decide if I should tell the perpetrator or try (thus far failing) to rise above.

[Karla]

Go on, shame them.

Shoot them.  And burn the bodies.

I am envisioning some kind of snow-god yeti leaping on shipping containers in a Marvel-esque manner on their way to the port.

Coöperation is better.

But I feel your pain re: consistency, or lack thereof.

[Cudzoziemiec]

At least they were consistent with "e-mail" but really, who hyphenates that in 2020? And then there was the "coder" to a legal document.
