Sort of OT but kind of not.......
My most annoying written word is "YOUR" when referring to "YOU ARE"..... I mean really, is YOU'RE so hard to comprehend?

Most hated spoken mis-words are numerous but top two:
"accrost" instead of accross. Since when was a T added to this word??
"ain't" instead of aren't. 'Nuff said.

Egad! Those are some of the worst! Although in a post or an email I might use a silly variation like ain't just for effect....it's not part of my spoken lexicon.

I wish I had something funny to say, like the rest of you! heehee

You rock!

Sure, you can wonder over yonder 'safternoon.

My Texas teacher grandmother was once asked one by of her students, "How do you spell 'safternoon?"

Here's a Portland area local problem that Kitsune and others will probably enjoy.


"McMinimum's" instead of McMenamin's, a local brewpub chain.

I remember that one and Geetyet?(sp?) (Did you eat yet? my great uncle told me this one in NC)

AHMA (contraction). (southern slang)
Usage: "Ahma gonna sit rat cheer til foe the safnoon."

I'm glad I brought a smile! BTW, I can't take credit for writing the OWED bit, I found it some time ago on the net and just had to keep it.

Awww, I thought you were a blossoming poet.

And here's another grammar matter that bugs me:
What's with writing the plural of words like "ghosts" and "priests" with no -s at the end? I've noticed this that last two or three semesters and it makes me tear my hair out (which is not to say "tare my hare out" ).

[SadieKate]

Oh, you mean more than one priest or ghost is "priest's" and "ghost's"?

From Craigslist this morning -

Free Large double pain aluminum window

hmmmmm, no wonder he really wants to get rid of it, single pain is bad enough....

Ok, I feel the need to add mine.

to
too
and two.

Oh, how often do I see the wrong word writt-en, it seems like people are always leaving off the second o. So maybe they should just use the word also-it replaces.

Ok, I have often fell to the pedal as I usually blank out in the spelling and write it with an e instead. Forgive me I'm actually bad at spelling.

Fine, now that I'm worried about all the careless grammar mistakes I make now, I'll leave. I love comma splices, hope I left a few.
