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.

A confessed over ellipsis user... ;D

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
