Dear young boy who works at Target,
Do not ever use the word eXpecially while talking to me again. I might have to cut you.
Thanks,
Ali
Dear old woman who works at Starbucks,
Do not ever use the word eXpresso while talking to me again. I might have to cut you.
Thanks,
Ali
Oh, my intolerance of ridiculous word usage knows no age, or sex, or creed. I do not discriminate. I will cut any of y’all.
Exscape.
Anyways.
Irregardless.
Your Welcome.
Supposably.
Intensive purposes.
Axe you a question.
Should of.
Height-th.
And don’t get me started on the misuse of the word MYSELF. “Make sure you call Ali and myself.” WHAT? NO! NO! NO! it’s ME ME ME. Make sure you call Ali and me.
And extra commas and quotation marks make me squirm.
But just don’t ever correct mine. Heh.

My MIL & FIL say monster cheese instead of muenster. It makes me want to stick forks in their eyes.
I had an ex who instead of saying basically said it bass-ick-ly.
A guy at work says chonder. Not yonder, which also annoys me, but yeah chonder takes the cake.
Then of course there’s chester drawers.
“Irregardless” is a favorite among field grade officers in the
military. You’d think since the majority of these guys have college
degrees and write briefs all day long that they’d know better.
“Nuke-ular” is another one that irks my buns. And I gladly joined
the lame-ass fan club of “I know the difference between ‘they’re’,
‘there’ and ‘their’ on Facebook.
I feel a little on the stabby side myself when these and all the
ones you listed are used. Perhaps it’s a good thing I have so many
kids and must keep sharp objects “out of the strike zone.”
My MIL pronounces the H in WHITE.
you’d be surprised — that word is used a lot more than you’d think.
She also says mondy tuesdy wednesdy… there’s no “a” in day, I guess.
She says it’s because they didn’t teach phonics in her day.
Isn’t this still her day?

I use them ALL! With, lots, n lots, of commas & quotations, dont forget the runons, oh yes, and I would use quotations but they have been lost, along with the letters a,e,j, and my question mark.
Shouldof got it fixed awhile back, ya know!
The aforementioned nuke-ular (just the one U, thank you). Govnment (Cokie Roberts) — it’s gov-ern-ment. Prezdent (Cokie Roberts) — it’s president. And please, don’t ever in my presence say “less” when you mean “fewer”. I will hurt you.
“Make sure you call Ali and myself.” WHAT? NO! NO! NO! it’s ME ME ME. Make sure you call Ali and me.
Actually no, it’s Ali and I.
It would be me and Ali, if you want to do it that way, however.
Oh, I am glad someone said something. My grandmother was an English major and would pop us in the mouth for being that stupid. I mean, it’s MY OWN NATIVE TOUNGE. Why shouldn’t I be able to speak my own language. It’s like that guy who failed Senior English…loser, you SPEAK english…or something resembling it!
