Misuse of your/you're, too/to, than/then, loose/lose, well/good, this/these, their/there/they're, lay/lie, its/it's, me/I, speak/talk, see/watch, bring/take, he’s/his, apostrophe/plural and the non-use of adverbs will always be funny to me. :) When people use “conversate” or “irregardless” they make me uncomfortable. Also, I’ll never get used to hearing “you all” it sounds just like “yous” to me. Until a plural of “you” is introduced I can work with “all of you” a bit better than “you all”. :) cidadadomundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812134570725687521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-70650046633551683472013-05-03T11:33:11.248-04:002013-05-03T11:33:11.248-04:00LOVE IT!LOVE IT!Samantha Scarlett Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295714904320283216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-73500165096225719442013-04-23T14:18:34.400-04:002013-04-23T14:18:34.400-04:00Irregardless = NOT a word!

A couple of my pet peeves are not knowing the difference between an adjective & an adverb-drives me crazy! <br />Also, I had wonderful English teachers in high school and I was taught that when we speak or write we are expressing our opinion so it is unneccessary and redundant to say so as in "I think..."

One of the common errors they make is using the word confess for confuse. They also use the word defiantly instead of definitely. My mother passed away in May but we worked together and we often said we were "defiantly confessed" about things. No one understood but it was a funny inside joke between us. <br /><br />We also have a mechanic in our town and his sign says, "My Mechanic's". It's like an unfinished sentence.
