That’s part of the buggeration that is the English language. There is no H in aitch. While we’re at it, which cruel bastard spelled lisp with an s. So unfair.

Actually it varies - and is often linked to the Catholic education system here. I don't "haych" but I know people who do.
While we're at it: Catholics. Sure my wife and kids are nominally Catholic, but fucking Catholics.

@Catogrande similarly dyslexia, fir dyslexics...
And the ultimate insult, if you were prone to made up conditions and were diagnosed with a fear of long words, your condition would be Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Does it? The whole sentence is in brackets. If that is a mistake it's (note the apostrophe) one I've (and again) made all my life. Will have to investigate.
Also "should of".

fluffybunnies who pontificate about grammar incorrectly.
.When a passage within round brackets is at the end of a sentence, of which it is only a part, place the full stop after the closing bracket. However, when the bracketed passage is a complete sentence, place the full stop before the opening bracket and then add a second full stop before the closing bracket.
