What's in a word?

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Now, take this knowledge, put on your finest sequined jacket, and go have a great shave!

 

What if he has a glitter beard?

 

I would suggest a blade with a rhinestone comfort coating.

 

in Boston it's "flayuh"

OK, fellow grouchy grammarians, here are my contributions:
1) Number- a quantity that you can count, such as the number of crayons in a box. When you diminish a number, you have fewer.
2) Amount- a quantity that you can measure, such as the amount of water in a lake. When you diminish an amount, you have less.

 

Thank you I'm so tired of seeing this incorrectly spelled

 

Bama public skool, all eight years , y'all!

Tim, here's another...

People who say "I'm sorry", yet, they really mean "excuse me".

 

How about the increasingly popular "so", we now hear appears to begin nearly every sentence spoken?

 

ditto for "like"

 

I think it would be funny to hear people say "I apologize deeply" instead of the "I'm sorry"/"excuse me" to which you refer.

 

yes,..as in "I was like NO WAY" when all that is necessary is "I said NO WAY".

 

'Your' vs. 'you're.'
'To' vs. 'too' vs. 'two.'
'Effect' vs. 'affect.'
'Irregardless.'
'All of the sudden.'
'A whole 'nother thing.'

 

My American Dialects teacher in high-school made such fun of "irregardless". And yes to your " A whole nother thing", to which I may add "A whole host of....."

 

One of my pet peeves is the unfortunate interchange of travesty and tragedy.

Travesty - a false, absurd representation of something; represented in a false of distorted way

Tragedy - a terrible event

They are not the same!!

 

Let's not forget "should of" in the place of "should have". Here in New York, there are some people who have the annoying habit of "aksing" a question. When I was teaching, my usual response to "Can I aks you a question?" Was "No, but you may ask me one."

 

Isn't it "ax(e)"?

 

Not in NYC.
