The only version I can see that is missing is 'of / have'.

Otherwise, superb.

Whilst reading "Red" magazine last night Mrs.Maverick exploded with the kind of unbridled rage I normally only see when for example I empty the dishwasher and put a soup bowl back in the *wrong* cupboard. The subject of her annoyance was apparently that she has "had enough" of people miss-spelling the word "breathe", she cited an article in which the author had written "I need this like the air I breath" - according to Mrs.Maverick the miss-spelling of the word "breathe" missing its last E, has reached pandemic proportions and frankly its only a matter of time before she writes a sternly worded letter to points of view and encloses a box of cat poo.

This made me think of Piston Heads, briefly, whilst I agreed furiously and waited for her to calm down.

If we could turn this into a thread on misspelt words in general, and on PH in particular, then one beauty I came across here this morning was 'owness' in place of 'onus'.

There was a thread a little while ago where someone said "no holes barred". Bit Freudian, I thought.

Why not.

I had an email from my landlord yesterday using dia instead or dire.

Also saw a story one of my sons friends had written about a magical land, and in that land lived a younickorn. Made me chuckle.

On the apostrophe thread the convention is to quote the guilty party (as long as it's a PH gaffe), should we do that here as well?

Sounds like something you'd read in a redtop (no, not a C20XE), usually in the context of 'steamy' 'lesbo' and/or 'romp'.

Just two I can think of that the Mrs continually says. I've given up reminding her now, I just cringe instead.

I'm conflicted. Partly pedantic and partly enjoying much spelling idiocy; "escape goat" always warms my cockles.
