One that 'gets' me, lol... prolly instead of probably. And I love the phones that make auto corrections... hilarious! On the weather channel, they went through a phase of using 'long-live' or 'long-lived' , but it was more their pronunciation, long or short 'i'? One newscaster started using it, then they all seemed to be using it, with a long 'i' vowel sound, which does not sound 'right' to me. Drove me nuts! Now, I notice, no one is using it, lol. Then there's maresey dotes and doesey dotes and little lambsey divey, a kidlley divey too wouldn't you? When I explained that to DH, he cracked up... he never knew! |
Oh another one just popped in my head! When people use an acronym, and then the last word from the acronym, such as "ATM machine" or "SIN number" Oh you want my social insurance number number? |
nuff said! |

another one I get all the time... you don't know what I means.... Yes I know what you mean, you don't like what I've just explained to you and somehow you think I will change all the rules for you....yeah that is not going to happen.... |
I especially like when they forge/create a counterfeit document and expect me to accept it with all the errors and the signature of a person who died 22 years ago! Love it! Some languages the v sounds like a b....and they spell it like that when they forge documents....examble.... Grover Cleveland= Grober Clebeland....this one sends me to hysterics! Love it! Ok, I can go on and on, I will end my hijacking/venting now! |

Another one: I could care less. How much less could you care? You must care a lot! It should be couldN'T care less. |
Im guilty! I write the way I talk sometimes which is southern but if I write a formal letter I try to have good grammer. So with me I guess it just matters if I am writing something official or leisure |
Hahahahahaha! Just had a great one! My secretary calls me for help, theres a skinny blond hair 15ish boy, Justin Bieber looking kid, standing in front of her desk giving her a hard time, I go up and ask him what he wants, he starts explaining and I tell him to STOP, you can only do this at school with your guidance counselor and right now you should be in school! Large letters on the door say TRUANT Office, I tell him he is truant and has 5 seconds to leave or he is being detained...HE LOOKS AT ME SERIOUSLY, says well if I'm being truant why are you giving me a hard time? I then tell him what truant means and he looks at me and says "Miss, your not hearing me" really? Ugggghhhh, this is a newer statement they use instead of saying "I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say" etc., if I had a nickel for every time a student says "Your not hearing me" I'd be rich! I'm so glad it is Friday! |
I still will never understand how one does not know your and you're differences. This one is my biggest pet peeve. |
