I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!



Recommended Posts

It's rant about a checker at my grocery store misusing a word!!!

What's to "frown on"?

I was talking about the comments made about posters here on this site (i.e. loosing vs losing). Lately, one of the administrators has had to re-post the rules about forum use.

That particular rant was about 2-3 weeks ago. It was pretty funny.

I didn't mean to start anything mean! I hope no one thought so. Just a funny example of one of my pet peeves.

That poor girl also told me that she'd, "cut somebody's throat" without her caffeine and cigarettes! :o

So was mine. I guess they didn't like the comment about the rant about the use of an ellipsis.

It bugs me when people use irregardless instead of regardless.

I'm sorry to point it out but I sincerely wish people on this site would stop using a script font. Yes, it's very pretty, but almost impossible to read. And I really do want to read what you have to say!

Grammar - how about nucular, for nuclear?

Even newscasters do it. Makes me crazy.

In written form though, we do have to lay some blame on spell check as well!

Well, I can tell you I was mortified when I use the word "BY" instead of "BUY" sometimes I am typing from my blackberry which I hate. When I realize my error, it drives me nuts. If it is a post I can change it, if it is title not so much!

I am more forgiving of spelling errors but it's grammar errors with the spoken word or advertisements that drive me up the wall!

Siri sometimes doesn't understand my southern drawl!!

Yea i didn't point out anyone and it wasn't directed at anyone or even at this board. This is a very common mistake that i seriously thought people didn't know about. I'm sure the other references can be found on this forum too but apparently as long as it's not a mass mistake it's ok. I've never been a grammar nazi on here but hello that's what this post is... If I offended anyone that was NEVER my intention. I figured they just saw it wrong on here so much they truly didn't know it was wrong. Which is why I would never call someone out in a regular post on grammar. But if this was offensive I feel the whole topic should have been removed because somewhere on here all of these mistakes have been made.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
