Friday, 7 June 2013  misspelling of the words stationary and
stationery  I've posted previously about how I remember the
difference between the words stationery and stationary. My
sister does it by thinking of the word car, and the fact that a
car moves and is spelled with ar. Something that is stationary
doesn't move. Hmm...I sort of see the logic of this one.  My
method is to say that in a stationery shop there will be
envelopes, and envelope begins with the letter 'e'.  I was in a
great little store at Westfield Doncaster today,  called daiso.
I love this store, with its huge range of bits and pieces to
make life easy. It's a bit like the Tardis, small on the outside
but enormous on the inside.  I was with a group of teachers, and
needless to say we're nit-pickers when it comes to spelling, so
of course I pointed out this sign:  Loved the immediate quip by
one of my friends. 'Well, the stock on that  display's not going
to move fast.'   proud womon said...  it's one of those words
that so many get wrong...
