Do not feel stupid, especially after you admitted your error. Believe me, I started this thread to bitch about the word "conversate" BUT what I wonder is what words I use incorrectly that I don't know about.

irregardless of our opinions i'm glad we have the org to conversate. and once a topic is through you can make one more again.

shouldn't that be "you might could make one more again"?

perhaps maybe you're correct.

Chico319 said:

it's just more pacific!

I can not stand "irregardless" I just want to slap people upside their head when they say that. It's NOT a word. It's double negative.

I knew this guy who would say "haded" instead of "had" - like "I had to got to the store."

i had an ex-employer who knew next to nothing about her own company use this word: SPECIFICNESS.

she was also a fan of 'wise'. example: "it's elegant in the feminine sense wise." this was actually a phrase she used quite often. or even "male sense wise".

that reminds me of when i hear people use:

askeded (sounds like ax-ted)
likeded (sounds like like-ted)

Chico319 said:

oh my goodness... that's one of those things people just go overboard with...

i had a boss who loved the term "in lieu of". he loved it so much that he used it in lieu of "in view of"... as in "in lieu of these budget constraints, i recommend this model".

Chico319 said:

That's annoying to. I also don't like when people say "pitcher" instead of picture. They're 2 different things!
Other things that bug me (and this is when people write) is when they don't know the difference between these words:
There, They're and their.
Passed and past
Know and no

I forgot about that one!
Here's another: too and to.

Too slow, we have covered this above...

This thread is giving me déjà vue (sp?) all over again

Amen to that!
on & one
to & two ( I am serious)
or to & too

My mother tongue is Dutch, so I am very very very sure, you can find some posts here where I have used the wrong word or perhaps spelled it incorrectly, but we did get these differences in school.
Just like:

it's or its
by & bye

... oh well.... I had a good laugh about what is said in this forum though.
