Spelling.
Poor spelling really gets on my wick... AND I'm quite honestly dyslexic. So don't go pulling shite excuses out of the bag.

Let me explain:

Yogurt. NO. it is YOGHURT
Aluminum... NO listen up CLOTH-EARS there's 2 I's in it. ALUMIN_I_UM
Donut. NO. That reads 'dooo-nut'. They're made from Dough. It's a Doughnut. Yes, I'm aware of the fact that it's tricky, and can be pronounced "duffnut" if you're sufficiently smart and get the Joke... yeah, like that's gonna happen.

There are so many of these things that I can't be bothered to write them down.

You know who you are... Stop doing it. Spell correctly, or everyone will think you're stupid.....

Plus.. I'm an engineer... This one is international:
Mandrel/mandril: "A spindle or an axle used to secure or support material being machined or milled"
Mandrill: It's a Fucking BABOON alright? they're big scary frikking toothy bastards with in-build red white and blue war-paint on thier faces.

I assure you: It is NOT "nearly the same thing". They are quite astoundingly different.



EDIT.
Snipper: thing for cutting or snipping
Sniper: Person who is engaged in, or expert at sharp-shooting, the word originates from the tricky sport of shooting Snipe... a rather fast Duck.
