yeah things like that are one of my pet peeves. another example to go along with rae's: irregardless. not a word, it's regardless. "for all intents and purposes" is another one that people misuse a lot. also, when people say "and" instead of "in" in various phrases, for instance "as snug as a bug and a rug".. ugh hate that
lol... i never noticed those!! i caught myself saying "UN" organized instead of "DIS" organized today... doh! THose who don't find great amounts of relevance and truth in this journal are just not very intelligent.
Last year I took a Public Speaking class and it was really interesting to realize how many words not just myself but everyone says wrong. It has a lot to do with the accents of a certain area but there are also just plenty of simple common mistakes. Ex: "All of the sudden" compared to "all of a sudden" the latter being wrong. Also, it turns out I say banner wrong, I use the wrong 'a' to say it.
