Watching a documentary on Tutankhamen and Howard Carter etc, and I hear
an American railroad magnet.
I think it was meant to be magnate.

Not sure if it's poor English or just the lack of a proofreader.
From the Surrey News website's report about the discovery of harmful algae in a swimming spot that's popular with locals...

FB comment: There are lots of breakable Knock Knacks in there.
And I'm convinced this one is from an auto correct on a phone:
Does anyone have any Arial's shots (of my land) etc?

Closer to the truth than the newspaper wants to admit that it knows, I am led to believe ...

Comment on a YT short about Doc Holliday (who I am slated to portray in an upcoming show...)
"He was his beloved hat of"
The thing is, five people have "liked" this comment, so they presumably know wtf it is supposed to mean......

FB post: Foil raped chicken wings
Shared to a 'poor grammar' group I'm in. Someone's said 'will you stop committing a crime against those poor innocent chicken wings?'

The "draw" is bad enough, and sadly all too common, but how do you get to adulthood without knowing what "cupboard" means?...

FB comment re the original part of a freeway here opening 30-40 years ago: there wasn't a boos bus around every corner. One for October 31, then?
(for those overseas, 'booze bus' is what we call a police vehicle that checks your alcohol consumption etc)

FB marketplace, always a good source of this stuff.
"Guanine BMW cleaning kit"
I assume from context they mean "genuine".....
And something else in good "coditaion"......
Sooo many tents/caravans/campers with a note of how many "births" they are...

I can't see an 'Add attachment' button. How do I add a photo?

The attachment buttom is in the “reply” option on the top right rather than the quick reply option bottom left.

Ta, barb. Sadly, the photo I wanted to insert seems too large.

It's astounding how often you hear (BBC) sports commentators pronounce 'women's' as 'woman's. FFS!

Thankfully most Aussie commentators don't seem to do that ( or not what I have noticed)

It's weird; my English teachers always hammered it home, the difference in pronunciation. If us foreigners can do it, then why....?

Headline from Aussie tv station SBS (Special broadcasting service, for overseas programs):
What is the Refugee Olympic team and who is on it?
Would have thought 'in it' would be better....
