Birth and Berth!

[The Coops]

Not being pedantic but birth is bring new life into the world and berth is where you sleep! Please use in the correct tense!

 

[B-well]

what is pedantic

Not being pedantic but birth and berth are nouns and I'd suggest that they don't change with tenses (in English at least) but I could be wrong....

I thought weren't allowed to correct grammer or spelling on this forum.

 

[Itsmcb]

Since it's the initial post would it not be informative rather than corrective ?

I don’t think pointing out use of the wrong word is correcting either grammar or spelling.

Correcting in advance then.

Not in the normal run of things, but the OP's original post is about spelling/grammar (see what I did there!) and I would suggest that means all such bets are off!

but the person using birth probably means berth, so that would be a spelling error, have consideration for those on here who have things like dyslexia, does it matter if we know from the context what is meant. think reading jim s rules may be in order.

But one of my favourite typos that makes me smile, not grimace, is

[Larrynwin]

I’ve got an Aunt Bertha if that’s ok

 

[PP Bear]

SWMBO is dyslexic, told me on the phone to hurry home, as she’s going to cook my sock

Haven’t got a clue what that’s all about, but I’m heading there post haste

Is Bertha a maiden aunt or has she given birth?

Speculation, sorry that counts for nothing. You’re just guessing re the dyslexia. Perhaps it is just lazy use of language.

Is it a full moon or just the tv’s S###E

Can you whistle?

 

[grasscutter]

Spelling could be important. Is it ”definitely” or “definitely”

I would never point out a grammar defect to some one.
My wife is dyslexic and whilst she tries really hard she doesn’t always get it right but I always know what she means.

Joke doesn’t work when you spell both the same

The Lady of the Lake may be hoping that it will be alright on the Knight, and musing whether that's a lot of lance or whether he's just pleased to see her ...
