    I constantly see people asking for “advise.” It’s a pet peeve, I will admit. I also frequently hear people saying “draws” instead of drawers. Sorry for my venting, I will see myself out.

      In some accents and dialects, “draws” is exactly what you get, so it’s not any more of a mispronunciation than “terlet” for “toilet” or any of thousands of other cases.

      It’s laziness. Any text program worth using marks that usage as a grammar error. People are ignoring the blue underline. There’s nothing you can do about people who ignore the blue underline.
