As a parent of a dyslexic son, I know for a fact he wouldn't write that! It's about how you speak to be honest. If you speak clearly it's very clearly chest of ...... Can you tell this stuff drives me nuts? I know I'm very old fashioned! And don't start me on the fact they apparently don't correct spelling in primary schools any longer......!
There are plenty of examples around of lazy speech...that frustrates me as I am so hard of hearing and often find I am unable to understand when oeople do not speak clearly. They then just shout instead, thinking it is volume not clarity that is needed!
Although I am quite used to talking to myself, any comments on my posts are very welcome, provided they are not abusive. I do reply to them so please check back. It's good to talk (!)
Love it! Education at its best :)
ReplyDeleteWe wondered whether it was meant as a joke. Tgese days it is hard to tell.
DeleteOops... these days.... fat fingers!
DeleteAs opposed to Bristol draws or York draws? Lordy.
ReplyDeleteI have often seen draws written instead of drawers but perhaps these do indeed come from Chester.
DeleteFrom the title I thought this was going to be a report of a football match.
ReplyDeleteAs if...
DeleteRather like winter draws on.
ReplyDeleteOr an artist called Chester prefers drawing to painting?
DeleteChester draws Manx cats and a lady blog writer called JayCee.😊
ReplyDeleteChester draws well...
DeleteHere on this side of the pond it is sometimes shortened to “chester.” Not a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe English language seems to become lazier with each passing year.
DeleteIt took me a while to figure out what they meant - chest of drawers, right? Boy, I need to perk up!
ReplyDeleteThey just write it as they say it, no need to bother with spelling or vocabulary.
DeleteUr so rite!
ReplyDeleteThnx !
DeleteChester Draws... sounds like a football result! Chester 1 Real Madrid 1. Well done Chester!
ReplyDeleteYou and Tasker are so alike.
DeleteHe is much more handsome than me. I'm so ugly I wear a Fred Flintstone mask when I go out.
DeleteAmazing that you managed to sire such beautiful children.
DeleteI shake my head every time I see someone advertising a dinning room set.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, same here! There are too many more examples unfortunately.
DeleteThat reminds me of the Aussie property advert 'Gloria Soame for sale'.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha! Love that one!
DeleteMaybe they are dyslexic ? XXXX
ReplyDeleteYes, could be so, Jackie xxx
DeleteThat's a common mistake these days. One of many which annoys the hell out of me. Sign of the times
ReplyDeleteI think that I may be too old-fashioned in my views on spelling and grammar.
