And break vs brake. (break=bust something, brake=what stops your car.)

The number of car sub posters that get that wrong is too damn high.

Quite often seen with spaces or hyphens.

As an aside I saw 'check, mate' today.

[-] TheFermentalist@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

In Australia, this means putting your friend into check.

Or asking for the bill at a restaurant where you're friends with the waiter (though if I was going to be anal, afaik we spell it 'cheque' in the UK / Australia where people use 'mate')

That seems fine to me. I've heard "check and mate" a bunch, so this isn't too much of a stretch for me.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They clearly meant checkmate though.

[-] exscape@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well OP clearly meant nowadays whenever they said "nowdays", too.

[-] Spuddaccino@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

So do the people who say "check and mate."

[-] o0joshua0o@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Another fun fact that is equally shocking: you can't spell Wednesday as "When's Day".

[-] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Did you know "nonetheless" and "nevertheless" are each one word? I remember when I found that out
