A ‘nosey’ shopper says she was ‘crying tears of laughter’ after claiming to have found someone else’s shopping list littered with ‘absolutely horrendous’ spelling errors – including ‘quecumber’.
Emily Phillips was doing her food shop in Asda in Edinburgh, Scotland, when she said she found the list at the bottom of her basket.
Ms Phillips then had a peak at what the last person who had used the basket had bought.
She said she counted 15 spelling mistakes including ‘redi maid lasanier, serial and quecumber’ and the only word the writer had spelled correctly was ‘milk’.
Other typos include ‘buther’ for butter, ‘choclit’, ‘mins meet’, ‘sweat potatas’ and ‘colsar’.

Emily shared the list with co-workers who urged her to post it on social media and the image has attracted more than 300,000 views.
The majority of commentors said it left them in hysterics but some failed to see the funny side and blasted Emily for trying to make whoever wrote the list ‘feel small’.
Emily said: ‘I was shopping in Asda. I find something in the bottom of the basket all the time and I’m really nosey so I always look through people’s shopping lists to see what they’ve been getting.
‘I opened that one and thought “what?”. I thought it was so funny and I was really laughing so I took a photo and sent it to my friend. I was in real tears with laughter.
‘At first, I thought it was really funny then I was like “oh bless”. Then I threw it away but I had to take a photo because I thought it was really funny.
‘You understand every single word very easily because it’s written exactly how you say it out loud. I thought it was really funny that the only word on the entire list that was spelled correctly was milk and other than that they’re all absolutely horrendous.
‘It’s so funny because that’s how it sounds, it works which is the bizarre thing.
‘I have to say, the way they’ve spelled mincemeat and ready-made lasagne is really funny. The way they’ve spelled cucumber is actually harder than the way it’s actually spelled. I don’t really understand it.’
Emily said since posting the list on Twitter she has been inundated with commentors claiming that the note belongs to their friends while others argued that sharing the image made the writer look small.

Emily hit back by arguing that the list could have been written as a joke to make someone laugh.
One wrote: ‘If you were intending to make the author look small, you’ve achieved the opposite effect.’
Another said: ‘Buther killed me off.’
A third commented: ‘Quecumber is excellent’.
Another wrote: ‘I can read and understand every item, as could the person that wrote it. That’s the main thing.’
Emily said since posting the mispelled list on Twitter she has been inundated with commentors
Emily said: ‘When I saw the notifications on Twitter, I thought ‘oh my God, loads of people have seen it, I don’t know what to do’.
‘Loads of people have tagged their friends and laughed at the spelling. One person said I was trying to make someone feel small. I just said that I’m not, it’s just a laugh, cheer up.
‘I don’t know who this person is, I don’t know if the person who wrote that was doing it for a laugh. It does seem almost unbelievable because you would assume people could spell really simple words.
‘Maybe someone thought they’d write it and leave it in a basket and someone will find it and think it’s really funny.
‘It’s not about trying to bully someone, I don’t know who the person is and I’m never going to see them. Oh well, people will think I’m trying to be mean but I’m not.’
