You and your hubby sound cute!

Just kiddin about the CIA. I'm crazy but not that crazy! Though DH and I make a lot of jokes about tin-foil hats....and we have this very complex theory about cats and aliens...but that's for another forum!

I hate hearing people pronounce "community" as if it starts with a "q".

I hate the work "folks." I'm not sure why but it annoys me when I'm addressed that way. "That's all, FOLKS!"

handbag_luvr · Jul 7th, 2008, 06:05 AM

Supposably...I despise this word. The girls at my office say this all the time and I can't remember how many times I've told them it's SUPPOSEDLY!!!

And I hate the word "sure", because DH always uses it when I have an idea or suggestion, and he's not really interested.

This one gets me, too. I don't know why, but even worse is, ladies and "GENTS"....I hate the word, "gents". It sounds like something that was conjured up in the late 1800's to describe old geezer guys.......

I hate MOIST and BALM. And "fecund", although it's rarely used.

If a salesperson were to say "this lip balm keeps your lips very moist", I'd run the other way! :)

"like" why my generation can't explain something without using like every other word I have no idea.

Also, I can't stand when people mix up terms such as "accept" and "except". Someone actually wrote on their facebook profile, "I like everything accept..."

I saw on a parking meter: "This machine does not except 5p coins"

My European History teacher used to write 'loose' when he meant to say 'lose'

I went mad every time he put it on the board!
