MY BAD....

I cant stand it..and i correct my kids or anyone else who I hear saying it...

 

[Rolsjo]

Okay, I've got a couple more thanks to my husband . . .

Exspecially instead of especially. Is that like formerly special????

Foil-age instead of fo-li-age. My husband says this all the time as in, "Ah, the beautiful fall foilage." Um, it doesn't look like the leaves have turned to aluminum foil to me, must be the angle.

And if you have an affinity (not infinity, mind you!) for posts like this one you should check out Cake Wrecks. It is a blog devoted to the hideous side of professional cakes. They have a whole section on misspellings, grammar and punctuation errors. It is laugh-out-loud funny!

Oh! I just remembered..... my BIGGEST one of all (since I used to work in retail and would get it ALL the time) is when someone would "ask" you a question in the form of a statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally got to the point of not answering untill it was phrased in the form of a question! UHHHGGGG that one really just ticks me off! OK done with my rant

When we were first married in NJ, we rented an upstairs apartment from a really nice couple. He was Italian and she was half Italian and half Irish. When our new born cried she would say, "Is he "sperlded," which I finally figured out to be "spoiled." I love to hear different dialects. The two things I enjoyed in NJ were hearing the different languages and, my gosh, the food, especially the deli!

Hehe, I'm from Rhode Island ( lived in other pahts of New England too) and he says I'm so mean too. He gets a kick out of it when strangers come up, and ask questions like that. The mall is one of his favorites.

yeah, but the only problem is that I'm as southern as they come! I guess it's the teacher coming out in me.

Very sad, and hard work, too. I read fewer and fewer of these.
