words that make you grit your teeth

[Tuckervill]

I'm from Chicago. I use "guys" to refer to everyone, even little action figures.

I do NOT like the p-word. I greatly prefer "girly-bits" in the context of this forum--at some point the right words will trigger the filters. I think it's best that we don't use words that would have the perverts coming in because they searched the proper words.

There's a mixed up word Bush used that I very nearly can't avoid saying as if it were real: misunderestimated. It's ALMOST right!

OMG!*

As in "Oh my goodness" or "Oh my gosh!"

That "G" can be very diverse.

Prolly for probably. Makes me crazy.

I agree with the posters upthread with the inappropriate uses of apostrophes or homonyms (there, they're, their; your/you're; no/know; to, too, two) Or using "then" for "than".

Ok, I feel better now.

That reminds me....I cringe when people say "addy" instead of "address".

Yes we are all different.
I think 'the P word' is only derogatory if it's used in a derogatory manner. It can also be a loving term.
What's that Eleanor Roosevelt quotation?-
'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.'

Oops. guilty here. Will stop immediately!
