And break vs brake. (break=bust something, brake=what stops your car.)
The number of car sub posters that get that wrong is too damn high.

Quite often seen with spaces or hyphens.
As an aside I saw 'check, mate' today.

In Australia, this means putting your friend into check.

Or asking for the bill at a restaurant where you're friends with the waiter (though if I was going to be anal, afaik we spell it 'cheque' in the UK / Australia where people use 'mate')

That seems fine to me. I've heard "check and mate" a bunch, so this isn't too much of a stretch for me.
ma11en@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
They clearly meant checkmate though.

Well OP clearly meant nowadays whenever they said "nowdays", too.

So do the people who say "check and mate."

Another fun fact that is equally shocking: you can't spell Wednesday as "When's Day".

Did you know "nonetheless" and "nevertheless" are each one word? I remember when I found that out
