The gramatical errors may not be greivous, in fact they maybe only suttle, butt their can be those who’s opinnions of you’re intelligance will become dissapointed and they will loose respect for you and will de disatisfied and desppair at your disasterous disscourse, and will critisize and condesendingly beleive your developement has been defered, and youll be left sufficently shagrined.

My biggest peeve is "irregardless."
Followed closely by "I feel badly."

I feel badly because I have peripheral neuropathy.
I feel bad for those who have lost a loved one.
Think about it - do you feel sadly, madly, or gladly? (Well, some of you just might, but that's for another thread.)

The "i before e" rule: I before E except after C, or when sounded as "A" as in neighbor and weigh. I add: or when the word was originally German.

Status: offline 		How about "My bad." ? Argh! And what's this with dropping adverbs in the rubbish bin of semantics? "Well" ("I'm well, thank you.", not "I'm good." - unless they taste good? What's that about?). "You're going too slowly." Etcetera.

Argh lol.

Around here, it just has to be consentual instead of consensual! AGH!!



I nearly started a thread on how much this irritates me, but I took a look in the dictionary first....

con·sen·su·al  [kuhn-sen-shoo-uhl]  –adjective 1.formed or existing merely by consent: a consensual transaction. 2.Physiology. (of an action) involuntarily correlative with a voluntary action, as the contraction of the iris when the eye is opened.

con·sen·tu·al  [kuhn-sen-choo-uhl] –adjective
Law. involving or carried out by mutual consent: a consentual divorce.

So while consensual is the correct form, I suppose consentual isn't entirely wrong. But if we're not talking law then it should be consensual.

(Yes, as you can tell I'm really a librarian. I gotta research everything!)

You mean that all this time I have been politely declining collard greens on the mistaken assumption that they were already spoken for?

Yep, sorry to inform you that you missed your chance to have dinner and a submissive.

Ah well, I'm sure a new crop will come in any day now.
