I write "Congrats" because I don't know how to spell "Congratulations" correctly

Congratulations? Congradulations? I phail.

 

[phillyfan26]

Interesting that you actually spelled it correctly in the thread title.

 

[UberBeaver]

I actually mispelled it real bad so I edited. turns out that that is the correct way. I win. I will still never write out "Congratualtions" on a card though. They should make Hallmark cards with built in spellcheckers.

 

[phillyfan26]

Good, cause you just misspelled it there.

I'm typing it five times with my eyes shut:

congratulations
congratulations
congratiluosn
congratulations
congratulations

Not bad.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

That's one of those words I still get confused about, and I have a PhD in English

 

[Lila64]

I guess this means the Beav is back

 

[phillyfan26]

The Lord of the Dam: Return of the Beav

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

isn't that an Elton John song?

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't know. I made it up.

I think Beav should write a story with that title. Best-seller? Maybe. Fascinating journal entry? Guaranteed.

If you spell "congrats" correctly, how can you misspell congratulations?

It's not "congraDs" for short, you know.

Good point. I sometimes write GFY Beav, instead of Go Fuck Yourself Beav, so I relate. Welcome back from Scotland.

 

[Canadiens1131]

I hate the word regularly.

Probably THE most hardest-to-pronounce word I have ever come across. And that includes Italian words and Dubh.

this sounds dumb, but sometimes i accidentally write "congrads" too. because it's got that stupid "gra" in it. but this only happens when i'm writing "congratulations graduate" or something. it's like i'm trying to fuse the two words into one.

For some reason I can never remember if it's a T or a D in the full spelling. I always think there's a trick to it, but apparently there isn't.

Oh dear.

I used to think it was congradulations.

You went to Scotland Beav? that's the number one place I want to go to in the world. I'm jealous.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I suck at spelling. I admit at times I've employed the Congrats shortcut myself.

I thought German had tough words until I saw Dutch!

Example: Betriebswirtschaftslehre is german for management studies.
