Sayings that people totally butcher.....

[junkmail3]

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

Wary vs. Weary

I strongly agree w/ your #2 and #3.

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

"Due to."

Unacceptable in most situations that people commonly use it.

I'm guilty of saying this a bit too much.
Care to elaborate?

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*

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]

You're trying to tell me that "could" and "couldn't" mean the same thing?
Ok.
