Spelling Hall of Shame

Size

Not for sale

Like and save for later

Because it's "racerback" not "razorback" ... "striped" not "stripped" ... "violet" not "violate" ... "sequins" not "sequenced" ... SPELLING MATTERS! Your items won't show up in search if they aren't spelled right, and most of these words have VERY different meanings. The Hall of Shame is a place to post the most common or worst mistakes you've come across in listings. It's not meant to offend, but to entertain ... and maybe even educate. (Check your spelling against our handy list!)

poshintheatl I 💖 this, Sweet Pee (an oxymoron if I ever saw one). I would even settle for Sweet P. 😂I really appreciate having the honor of posting the first comment. Let's try "SUEDE" and not "SWADE". 😱. Excellent work!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🌺

kirmar03 @mimip13 - HA! She and "Sweet Pee" should get together for some urinary spelling lessons.

kirmar03 @mimip13 @kmc1027 Today's find - Small, but made me giggle: A winter hat/beanie labeled proudly in all caps "BEENIE." Good luck with the search function.

poshintheatl @kmc1027 Forgot to tag you in my comment. But you are right. We must learn to laugh at ourselves. 💖💖💖

toryshop @kirmar03 This isn't a spelling issue/but I thought this is a place I might vent /my pet peeve (other than the horrific spelling errors) PLEASE PUT IN THE MEASUREMENTS ESPECIALLY ON HANDBAG!!! I'm a girl that shops a lot/Rarely do I see anything but OS/come on/Just take a ruler and an extra minute and put in correct stats on the handbag listing! It saves everyone time in the long run!! 👍🏼💞👍🏼PLEASE💞💞 @toryshop💞

poshintheatl @kmc1027 @toryshop. OK @kirmar03 I think the "Beenie" you saw for sale should actually say "Bennie" for sale. If it's her husband, I already have one. 🎉

kirmar03 @kmc1027 @mimip13 @toryshop @ldw80 This morning I found a lovely jacket that "can adjust around your waste!" I'm not currently incontinent, but it's good to know that clothing manufacturers are accommodating the needs of those who may not be able to change their adult diapers in a timely manner.

kirmar03 Oh, I can't believe I skipped the opportunity to include this smiley: 💩💩💩

poshintheatl @kmc1027 @toryshop @ldw80 😂😂😂😂 What a fabulous way to start my morning!! Those NY designers sure want to show us we can "Depend" on them when it comes to clothing. I have to leave for work soon; don't want to "WAIST" any time this morning. ☕️☕️

poshintheatl @kmc1027 @toryshop @ldw80 I really do have a job😖. One last thing, actually two and then I will sign out. Saw both in the same closet🎉🎉1. Beautiful SKIT, side zipper. 2. Winter cap that covers YOU ears. Is she talking to her ears or mine?

kirmar03 @kmc1027 @ldw80 @mimip13 @toryshop Earworm ... Just came across a "beautiful gold ring with big purple jem!" (Truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous!) 🎤🎵

kirmar03 @kmc1027 @ldw80 @mimip13 @toryshop @kristinabear On someone's funny "closet rules" post, a grown woman complimented the young posher by calling her "very cleaver!" As in the Beav, or like a giant hacking knife?

Oct 15Reply

kirmar03 Oh, oh! And this wasn't on Poshmark, but last night I saw in an Internet discussion where a girl was bragging about having been a "candy stripper." I hope she wasn't assigned to the elderly heart attack ward ....

Oct 15Reply

poshintheatl @ldw80 @toryshop @kmc1027 @kristinabear Well gee whiz @kirmar03 we should probably see what Wally thinks about the Cleaver name.

kirmar03 Shear and sheer are not the same word! Argh! That is all.

kirmar03 @kmc1027 @ldw80 @mimip13 @toryshop @satorinow @kristinabear "Brown patten flats. Hardly warn." 😞

twinklerocket I have a post like this too. One of my faves: "sequenced" instead of "sequined."

Oct 16Reply

poshintheatl @kirmar03 I'm not sure if it's cold where you live, but I wanted to let you know I saw some warm "BARLEY" worn UGGS. Personally I'm looking for some Wheat or Oats UGGS.

poshintheatl @kirmar03 @kmc1027 @kristinabear @luxlabels4u @ginnydog @nickayy @satorinow @toryshop ..."Congradations ladies! Your scarfs have arrived." Guessing this seller DID NOT win the 7th grade spelling bee. 🐝🐝🐝🐝

laskinr @kirmar03 I cannot believe the horrendous spelling I see constantly 😳😳😳😳😳. It really turns me off and I must correct people 😉😉. Most people want to know and take it well, but some, not so much 😩😩

laskinr @kirmar03 Kirsten, You are funny 😉❤️😉❤️😉❤️. I can relate 👍👍

sookiesays What really kills me in media and now especially in broadcasting/TV/commercials etc...is the dropping of ADVERBS!!! Drive "safe" when is supposed to be "safely". Live "comfortable" but should be " comfortably"!!!!!! I was taught how to properly speak/write when 4 years old. Mum was a teacher and was part of the Phonics movement...(although now worried if spelled that correctly!) Best to you!!

sookiesays I believe the speed with which we rifle through our cell phones really projects how little today people don't care enough to be proper....and some really do not know differently...some do not care also. Really sad.

Apr 13Reply

sookiesays This also reminds me of the candy bar commercial where the tattoo artist misspelled regrets but as "regerts"!
