Evening all. What's going on here then?

I see posts here sometimes, and I think about replying with "Check your post, you spelled a couple of words correctly in there".

Well ocifer, peoples are trying to show off their spelling prowess (or lack of it) using words such as sesquipedalian or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis.

Wikipedia says it is.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch ---> spelt correctly

The word is in fact: antidisestablishmentarianism

The one which I inevitably get wrong is:

Excellent (and good talbs13)- the gig is now you write (most likely incorrectly) a word/phrase you have trouble with - without looking up the solution!

I'm a teacher so pick up on spelling all the time - one that irritates me is "definitely" spelt "definatley" or similar.

I also see in my kids' books, thanks to Cheryl Cole et al, the word "allowed" is apparently now spelt "aloud" as in "I wasn't aloud".

I know this is a grammar one rather than a spelling one but was coming out of B and Q the other day and they had a massive sign up saying "If YOUR happy with your experience today, tell us on www.diy.com" - seriously, if a major company can't get simple things like that right...

Oh dear. I fear I'm a sad act who has nothing better to do than notice spelling and grammar errors
