It's DINING, not Dinning

[Marthasor]

Dining is what you do when you eat a meal. Dinning is what you do when you make a loud, unpleasant and prolonged noise.

Can we make this a sticky?

Really.?

Do I get better instruments on the deluxe dinning plan?

More things to worry about in life than people spelling words incorrectly.

Maybe peopel should use spell czech.

I’d say this is (supposed to be) a pretty casual and friendly forum. Not sure why we’d want a sticky scolding people for spelling mistakes. As long as we can understand people’s questions there’s no need to let it bother you.

Yes, a full orchestra at every meal. IMHO, that's a lot of music in one day. Doesn't leave a lot of time for park tourrrrrring.

It's not worth the cost, unless it's free dinnning.

Yes, really. I mean, reallllllllllly.

I'd rather have a sticky about lose vs loose.

This made me think of The Simpsons episode parodying "The Shining." Groundskeeper Willie: "He's got....the shinning...." LOL It's hilarious.

*Every* time I see "dinning," I think of "the shinning"!

Many people do make this mistake, occasionally myself included. I think it's because people think of the word DINNER when spelling DINING. Sure there are pet peeves that we all have. But at the end of the day most people aren't going to change their bad spelling/grammar to please a nameless person on a vacation forum. Try to let it go. (hee hee see what I did there)

Where is the sticky on "lose" vs. "loose" going to go?

 

[disneyag]

AMEN!!!
'dinning'
'loose'
'O'Hanas'
All drive me nuts! (yes, I realize it's a first world problem!)

Oops... you beat me to it!

If not a sticky, maybe a thread that can be referenced without comment whenever a misuse appears.

As the 1962-1963 Classroom 2A Spelling Bee Champion, misspelling irks me. But the thread doesn't have to be scolding - merely advisory.

How does dinner (short vowel) turn into dining (long vowel)? I’m not asking anyone to “please” me on these forums. It’s a little, elementary spelling PSA.

Yes, plus you are placed in a room next to a barking dog.
