i have a terrible habit of using the $6 word instead of the one that everyone else understands...sometimes it's because i simply don't have another word in my head that means the same...i read a LOT, so i tend to think in those words...& i also get twitchy when people leave typos or misspellings & have such odd grammar that i have difficulty deciphering what they're trying to convey...it's all i can do not to switch to red & correct them...LOL...speaking of perfectionists.....

Heehee, oh that's a completely different ball of wax camille. Now and then I mispronounce words just to annoy people. Other times I seem to have adopted the say it how it sounds method, which has nothing to do with what the word really sounds like.

And Rain dear, methinks you're running a bit behind today. Don't try to blame this on the universe.. err, forum posts shifting around you. It won't work! [&:]

Jillian was her name
She was sweeter than aspartame
Her kisses reconfigured my DNA
And after that I never was the same

And I loved her even more than
Marlon Brando loved soufflé
She was gorgeous, she was charming
Yeah, she was perfect in every way

Except she was always using the word "infer"
When she obviously meant "imply"
And I know that some guys can put up with that kinda thing
But frankly, I can't imagine why
