Re: Sayings that people totally butcher.....
You can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass, but then..no. It's gotta be your bull

I hate it when people use "sayings" and "words" interchangeably.

"Due to." Unacceptable in most situations that people commonly use it. [/ QUOTE ] I'm guilty of saying this a bit too much. Care to elaborate? |

Re: Sayings that people totally butcher.....
anyways...I was down in our cafeteria getting breakfast this morning, when one of the dumb customer service girls ordered "one egg without no yolk." I really wanted to smack her...and she is our customer interface *sigh*

Re: Sayings that people totally butcher.....
Incidentally, I hate when people say that there's something wrong with "I could care less." It's not corrupted, it means the same thing as "I couldn't care less." I googled and found this: link
They say it better than I do. |

"Orientated" ----not a word. Its oriented. [/ QUOTE ] dictionary.com does not agree see here The funny thing about this is that in the 2nd definition when the are giving examples, they infact use oriented and not orientated. LOL [ QUOTE ] Irregardless -----not technically a word. Its regardless. [/ QUOTE ] they tend to mistake it for regardless as you mentioned or irrespective. Again, I believe many dictionaries include this, but state that it is an irregular word and is incorrect to use it and the such... [ QUOTE ] and a bit obscure, but... "Chomping at the bit" -----wrong. Its "champing at the bit". Everyone says chomping [/ QUOTE ] Phrases like this ALWAYS change over time as some of the words (champing in this case) just start to become not used anymore. One of my favorites pointing to a word not used properly is Alanis Morrisette's song Ironic. Nothing mentioned in that song has anything to do with irony.... now that IS ironic [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |
