How many “c’s” and “m’s” in “accommodate?” Is there a “c” in “acquire?” While it might seem obvious when written out in front of you, English spelling can make fools of the best of us, but most people will probably overlook a misspelled word in a text. But that mistake becomes ever so magnified when you are driving around and see it displayed in, say, a shop window. 

The “English Language Police” Facebook page gathers word crimes and grammatical mistakes people have spotted in the wild. So scroll down and enjoy the funniest examples here, upvote your favorites, and be sure to let us know what common language mistakes are your number one pet peeve.

Listening To "Water Music" Will Never Be The Same Again

Listening To "Water Music" Will Never Be The Same Again

Anindya Roychowdhury Report

Native speakers (and writers) of English all have their own struggle words. Some people can’t stand the doubling of a specific letter, like aggression versus agression. In other cases, people think there is a second letter where there actually is none, for example, imitate versus immitate. More often than not, this is a result of English not being a phonetic language. 

Many writing systems attempt to just jot down the sounds that a particular word consists of. As logical as this sounds, many languages skip this part, English being one of them. Partially, the French can be blamed, as a lot of constructions in modern English have old French (and Norman) origins, due to William the Conqueror, well, conquering England in 1066.

To counter this, English orthographer Christopher Upward designed something called cut spelling. The basic idea was to “cut” redundant and silent letters, which would “help” save 8–15% of space when printing written texts and, potentially, reduce the number of spelling mistakes that we all run into regularly. It never really took off because who wants to go through the hassle of remaking the entire spelling system of a language?

Robert Mark Report

As English is spoken around the globe by over 1.5 billion people as a first or second language, it makes sense that large, sweeping changes might not be that realistic to implement. It’s also a language without a “central” authority, with different spelling, pronunciation, and slang depending on where one is. Researchers call this a pluricentric language, meaning that different strains develop and intermix without one being regarded as the “official” variant.

The result is that most variants of English are mutually intelligible, though there are always many anecdotes about thick accents from one English-speaking country or another. It also has a global reach, both due to colonial history and mass media. These days, English can be referred to as a true “lingua franca,” as it is often used when both parties don’t share a common language.

Lol I’m home for my lunch break on BP - my neighbour likes to take up 2 parking spaces (mine and his) with his GIANT truck that’s always dripping fluids and rust and metal bits everywhere. His parking space is literally orange. We tenants pay for these spaces, but they are tiny as the lot was built in the late 60s - not his fault he can’t fit his lifted rusty old Sierra in his parking space, but it’s not my fault or problem either. And he doesn’t even try to get between the lines anymore, he’s very comfortable taking my spot too despite the notes I’ve left him. I have to keep parking in visitor parking. My strata got mad at me (“those are for visitors only”) so I’ve been collecting photos of his parking jobs every day for the last 2 weeks. I have 11 now, and I just emailed them to strata :)

Attempts to make a “neutral” global means of communication have led to the creation of “Globish,” a somewhat uninspiring name for a language. The idea, created by Jean-Paul Nerrière, was to have something that was not tied down by the cultural weight of English and also incorporate elements from other languages around the world. Nevertheless, its largest “lender” of words was still English (around 1500 words) and it has not really taken off at the moment.

The Four Apostrophe’s’ Of The Apocalypseses’s’

Vincent Turner Report

English is so predominant that some scholars believe it might lead to premature language death. As it is tied up with employment, research, and a lot of popular media, English remains one of the top choices for people to learn, at the cost of acquiring a different language. The unfortunate result is that it introduces alien words and idioms into languages where they don’t belong, supplanting the more unique original structures.

"Life is like a box of chocolates" and "You're only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off". Can I be served now?

Do you see the other sign under the awning? They get their meat from a driving school. Those must be some tough instructors.

Noel's been at it again. It is supposed to read "New Blackened Chicken Sandwich". Also, Popeyes should probably have an apostrophe.

Kellogg's makes noodles? Edit- yes, they do. It's a joint venture between them and an Egyptian company. Interesting.

Came across this little treasure: "[...] Melbourne is on roughly the same latitude as Athens" (https://www.we-love-melbourne.net/weather-melbourne.html) - No, it is not! There is a very big difference between 37° South and 37° North! Approximately the same (angular) distance from the equator as Athens? Sure, but come on.

Ice cream is a mass of ice cream, but ice creams are multiple single servings of ice cream. Captain Tryhard at work there.

Someone’s really really trying to make something out of nothing here. Unisex is widely known to mean both sexes. It’s not even an uncommon word.

Thick & Durable

Thick & Durable

"Durable" implies something that will sustain continuous and/or lengthy use. Aluminum foil is typically only used once. In this case, I used it to line a sheet pan for oven bacon, and after the bacon was done, I threw the foil away. I would think a better word than "durable" would be "strong".
