ohmygosh!!
lizbid's post made me think of the overused phrase everybody is getting wrong lately on sportscasts.
"mano a mano"
It does NOT mean "man to man," phil ligget et al!
It means "hand to hand"
geeeeeeeeez

And a word I'm learning to hate:
Penultimate
its like it was just discovered and now everybody has to use it to sound upscale. all it means is next to last.
sheeeeeeeez
