My SIL's best friend, whom I know a bit as we have DCs the same age, has just posted this as part of a FB status

Most people have Reefs on their doors at Christmas....

Really? Do they? AAAAGGGGGHHHH!

Oh, dear me.
I have yet to put an underwater ecosystem on my front door, and have no plans of ever doing so.

My eye twitched as I read that.
Send her a dictionary for Christmas, or a picture of the Great Barrier Reef to put on her door...

Did she even capitalise 'Reefs' herself to draw eye-bleeding attention to it, or was that your inclusion to make us even more uncomfortable?

It could have been "most people have Reefs on there door's at Christmas"

Then you would have needed to chew off your whole leg Xmas Smile

Maybe in her neighbourhood they celebrate by decorating their front doors with orange-flavoured alcopops - 'tis the season to be jolly and all that jazz.

WinklyVersusTheZombies - I'm not sure if Christma's should have an apostrophe too?

I wonder how many people pacifically have reefs on their doors at Christmas?

Sometimes people smoke reefers at Christmas and listen to Bob Marley. Maybe that's what she meant.

lol @ WankbadgersBauble

OP I would have felt the same, poor grammar and spelling offend me more than bad language!
