'Since time and memorial' rather than 'immemorial' sad

I heard that so much as a child that I really thought that was the correct phrase until I started wondering why it made no sense. disbelief lol

Now I'm nor sure if this is an Americanism, but one thing that makes me cringe is the way that people use 'leary', 'lary' and 'weary' rather than WARY, as in: I was really wary of the strange bloke in the long mac'.

Oh - the other one is "present" instead of "president". For some reason, a lot of right-wing talk radio heads say "Present Obama" or "Present Bush".

I guess they just can't wait to spew their hate, and that extra syllable slows them down too much.


You really don't know what this is about? lol

"spittin' image" (incorrect) instead of "spit and image" (correct)

"10 items or less" - it should be "10 items or fewer"

The correct term is "bald-faced lie" - not bold-faced.

I never use this term, but I didn't notice that "bold-faced.." was incorrect.

When someone says, "You can contact Lynn or MYSELF..."
(or any time MYSELF is used in these instances)

NO!!! pissed

It is "Lynn or ME"
If you remove "Lynn", you wouldn't say "Contact myself, therefore it's incorrect! hmph!



Really? I never knew that...and it just sounds so weird.

Not really incorrect anymore, just bald-faced is the original more correct term.
