This thread is awesome. It warms my little pedant heart.

I had to get this shirt for my mom after I showed up to a family dinner wearing it once, and my little niece said "That's cool!" and wanted to understand what it meant. So we used it as a lesson in punctuation:

That is beyond funny!

 

[beefy]

seen instead of have seen or saw.

Ok, now admit ones that YOU say or use.

I think i might say relator...yep, just did
and I use dot dot dot way too often
and I use and too often

I had to go back and add a second "o" to my "to"

There is a news guy on TV here that says.."It's noon thirty" Or it's noon fifteen. Urrrrrrrr..I hate that!

On the other hand, I say rurnt instead of ruined. And I HATE , can I axe you a question? My DH says that all the time just to "get my goat!"

I suffer from a speech impediment related to lack of sleep, or having recently awakened.

Example:
I'd said, yesterday, that I was going to clean the house today. So this morning when I woke up, my boyfriend said "Somebody's gonna clean the house today?" And I said back "Zombies gonna clean the house today!" Then of course after a minute when I realized what I'd said, I had to chase him around the room trying to eat his brains.

okay, okay, here is one that drives me NUTS.

Black Panther.

first of all, a "panther" is a term used to describe the entire FAMILY of black cats.
Leopard: pathera pardus
jaguar: pathera onca
lion: pathera leo
tiger: pathera tigris

it is NOT a term used for a real animal. you SHOULD say "black leopard" or "black jaguar" because they are just a leopard or jaguar that is melanistic. a panther is NOT a real animal, just some nonsense word to describe not one but TWO different species. makes no sense to me.

the only REAL species that can be called a "panther" is the Florida panther, which is a subspecies of a mountain lion and looks just like one, only smaller and more red-colored with different adaptations.

ugh
