Forgive my pet peeve

#42

I have several friends who say “had went” i.e. “I had went to that store before”. It is like fingernails on the chalkboard😖!
But I never say a word for just the reason you mentioned @keto4me!
Ok, that’s the last one. Promise.

Quite a restrained individual, if you ask me. I hope this can of worms you opened is low-carb! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Who CAN, with auto-mangle second-guessing you all the time? :confounded:

#46

Except it’s should be its :kissing_heart:

Word nerd here also, full of shame about obvious typos/auto corrects in posts I’ve made. My peeve is I vs. me.
My pal and I invited Auntie Mabel to dinner. She cooked dinner for my pal and me.

What? How did we get here?

My new favorite is assholery, and I’ve been able to use it often! :smile:

(Candy Lind) #51

Tell HIM! :rofl:

(Sophie) #53

Thanks, but I like mine better…

Her: So, what was wrong with him?!
Me: Oh, it was just his typical assholery self. :roll_eyes:

Somehow it worked better to respond to your response to him @Capnbob, sort of like “I love it too except…” I did carefully consider both response options lol

Do you watch Game of Thrones?

I don’t, but it is EXACTLY like that for me!!!

#57

Not a jerk. :two_hearts:

#58

Please define. Is that a colloquialism? :thinking:

I don’t think you necessarily made an error. i agreed with your point of view (maybe we are of the same era). Dictionaries come and go according to the usage of the masses. I can now understand my grand-parents confusion when I was young. I have my peeves too but i guess we just move with the times…goodness knows what spelling and grammar will look like 100 years from now :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you! I cringe every time my friend talks about a regime of testing.
