I know being a grammar and spelling pedant is classist and shitty but I still want to beg the denizens of Facebook gardening groups (and possibly autocorrect in all its forms) to understand that “perennial” and “perineal” are two very different words.

Maybe they ARE growing tainted plants, you don't know.

I see what you did there.

Good eye. Usually perineum jokes are well hidden.

Its hard to see them where the sun doesn’t shine

Some plants are grown in the shade. Plus with perineals, you get close access to fertilizer.

I usually just plant anals. Nice to have a change every year.

The perineum is a thing we should follow the rules about.

This is what I’m saying.

Depends on the plants and which state/country you live in.

As are perineum and premium.

Perineum fuel seems like a tough sell in any case.

Yeah, I'm too much of a cheap-ass to pay for the expensive stuff

the one that makes my eye twitch is flare and flair

one comes and persists between two points in time, the other persists between two points that come

I have a fiscal job and it always cracks me up when people want money "dispersed" instead of "disbursed"

Just spread it out real good.

One is per annum and one is per anum.

A couple years ago grocery stores starting carrying Nando's brand Peri Peri aioli. The bottle is labeled "Perinaise"

That’s too much to ass for

And yet there is the barest thing separating them, grammatically. Should be a word for that.

You might have to repost this annually.

One is able to bloom year after year, and the other t'ain't.

could really taint the meaning of the post

This is a reasonable request, but I'm a pedant and a gardener, too.
Avatar
I think being a spelling pedant is only classist and shitty when that spelling error is harmless. When it can cause actual harm, then it's safe to (gently) point out the error.
Avatar
Definitely a perineal problem.
