Grammar Nazi mode activated

Recently I wrote another post about grammar and my "Grammar Nazi" mode.
Of course this post was in russian because it is my native language.
And although english is not my native language and of course I have lots of grammar and punctuation mistakes… Even I see more and more illiterate shit from native english blind speakers.
Warning: if you want to understand me correctly, read following examples character by character to see the spelling.

First of all, lets remember our lovely STW game from Sam Tupy.
I think that every non-english speaker knows those ugly illiterate names but I guess that english blind people, especially with IBM TTS, even didn’t see that.
For example, my favorite fuckup is "peramitors" instead of "parameters".
Also, "juce box" instead of "juice box", "connecsion" instead of "connection", "battory" instead of "battery", "life locater" instead of "locator", "sinse or sence" instead of "since".
Location names contained illiterate words too: "thick forrest" with double r, "cassle" instead of "castle", "shalow ocean" with single l, "nothingnes" with single s on the end…
I cannot remember all those fuckups but I guess there are more and some of you may write something here.

And now a little bit about illiteracy found on Elten forum and Audio Games forum.
"Drumma" instead of "drama", "ishue" instead of "issue", "androide" instead of "android", "accesseble" instead of "accessible" and "acessability" instead of "accessibility".
To collect more shit I have opened Elten english community forum and just read all recent topic names.
We have lots of new words here:
releace instead of release;
speach instead of speech (looks like speach is a peach with a built-in TTS);
creater instead of creator;
processer instead of processor;
accessable instead of accessible;
problum instead of problem.
Also for me was a disaster to see how people write "SAPY" instead of "SAPI", but this is more IT stuff and I think that not everyone knows what SAPI means and so how to spell it correctly.

p.s I already expect a tonn of hatret from community but yes, I am grammar nazi.

    ah, yes. In some audiogames you can find this common mistakes:
    chalange, chalenge, chelenge instead of challenge. What else? Ah. Aha, i remembered. One time on elten there was a discussion, and it even became racistic. And someone wrote the word racism like this: Racisum or rasisum i forgot. but i remember how he wrote it many times.

    You know, I have a collection of fuckups that I made personally and by axxident, oy i mean accident, that make me laugh.
    Axxessibility (with double x),
    gowing (going with w),
    stuped instead of stupid,
    sequrity instead of security.
    That were some of the words that I typed in, heard how my screenreader speaks it, laughed and retyped correctly.

    I remember Aidenn was writing like that, and instead of corpse, curps.
    The other fuckups was in one of Discord servers but TBH it’s hard to find RN. I will send it here when I find these funny fuckups of native speakers.

    Yeah and Elliquence, sappi, yes with 2 p, yesterday I saw someone who wrote infurnt instead of in front. My favourite things are the spelling errors in MIUI anyway, in the part where you can change your ringtones. There are a lot of default ringtones, for example the sad pinao, yes, pinao.

    Oh another fresh illiterate bullshit from STW:
    If you try using a hamlock when you are standing, you receive a message with something like "You should ly down".

    This gave a good laugh together with the comments and I’ve even forgot I’m not that well physically. 😀 Yes medal, I loved that while playing STW. And thickforrrrrest, boddle, noting. Anyway does anyone remember? There were awful mistakes in those texts as well, when it was already night or already dawn, and the game had a few lines of text to show such things. It was automatic and you saw it every once in a while, when the day began and the sun was rising, and at sunset. I’m already thinking about it for days and trying to remember for Cyrmax but I can’t.

    I find it funny that Usians are almost illiterate in their own language. Nothing new but well written. Thanks!
    And remember, drink from a Boddle

    Hei, Just writtin this post to make you awear, that you need the latest virtion of Windows to run this softwhere.
    Remember, This is not an elliquance, this is a proper speach synth, so after setup, you’d have to get the activation str8 from the servour insteed of a local key.

    Yes, Like RHvoice it runs both direct and Sappy, and you chose it using left and right aeros, during setup.
    OK, Stoppin this boolshit, and goin’ to remove some eco from speakers on an client’s podcast, and maybe listen to some vynil rekords.

    Right, this text is of course fake, but contains a bunch of the spectacular ones i’ve found on various blindy fora and discussion lists.
    Now, back to my delicious earl gery tea, and 73.
    Patryk.
