You are posting a comment about... Stop making my ears bleed!
So, do I have to say something controversial to get people to comment on these blogs? Ok then. Let’s talk – talk.
One of my recent Facebook posts displayed my indignation over people who call Italian coffee eXpresso instead of eSpresso. I even hear it from wait staff in restaurants! Grrrrrr. Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg folks. This blog is dedicated to those of us who cringe when we hear someone use the word irregardless! It’s not a word! Even worse, a friend of mine received an interoffice memo using the “word” disirregardless! WTF? It makes my ears bleed! How about the simple difference in spelling of the words there, their and they’re. This is third grade English material, dudes! And I know this will ruffle some feathers, but the word is aSk. Not aX.
My outrage is not limited to the use of poor pronunciation and vocabulary. Bad grammar and other sloppy language sends me screaming from the room too. I can’t abide hearing, “on accident” instead of “by accident.” People seriously say, “could care less” instead of “couldn’t care less.” If they could care less, well, then it’s not so bad, is it? And it’s, “for all intents and purposes” NOT “intensive purposes.”
So beware, oh faithful reader. You will be called on the carpet if I catch you mixing metaphors, using made up words or bad grammar. So there.
