Most misspelled places in Britain

Recommended Posts

Must be worked out on actual amounts of times and not percentages, if it was I'd guarantee                                                 Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the most misspelled place in the world.

Seriously, who the feck spells some of those places like that? How is it even possible? Urgh, my head hurts!

Indeed. I mean London... it's Lon and it's don - what's the problem?!?! And Bath... it's bath, as in that thing you haven't had for weeks (I'm talking of people who would spell it Barff, not you Darkon.)

 

There's a few fair ones in there. Carlisle variations I can understand, Lougborough (my Bro-in-law once had an American ask him for directions to "Loo-goo-boo-roo"), yeah get that, and Stirling, being spelt Sterling... but wait! Most of the mis-spellings don't make sense! I.E. Sterling wasn't one of the listed mis-spellings! You wouldn't put Lesster either... it would be Lester or Liecester (unless you were cruelly mocking our fair city! :angry:) Only a supreme retard would spell Cotswold Cost World.

 

Unless there's some kind of subtle mockery of places and accents involved :unsure:

I assume Middlesbrough is only not on the list because nobody ever needs to write about Middlesbrough.

To be fair I would also spell Middlesborough as Shithole so it's probably just not been picked up yet.

 

haha what a Cnut, Iv only gone and spelt it wrong anyway lol

Bournmouth and Wisbeach and Edingborough I tend to notice the most, although I do get a bit muddled with Worcester and Worcestershire as they don't sound right to how their spelt, but it is right between Brum, Bristol and Wales so I guess it's just a historical moshpit of accents.

We are the smallest area in the world with most regional accents; no wonder people get confused.

No one without an affiliation to Leicester can spell our great city's name. It must be higher up the list than that! 

 

Living in Devon I can honestly count how many people can spell Leicester on my right hand. 

 

It is normally spelt lester or lichester.
