"I felt badly" actually bothers me more. Like some others noted already, it's a mistake of trying too hard, not of simple ignorance. You can feel good and you can feel well, but you're probably not so incompetent as to feel badly.

You may be a Nazi, but presumably you are not a coach otherwise beyond conversational grammar, you would not notice if it occurred in scholarly writing.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Your improper sentence structure prevents me from understanding your point.

Your not a coach or a teacher, because the later would have made improvements and shared their knowledge. So now I do believe you. You are just a Nazi.

You're. Try it, it's a contraction of "you are". Not "your".

I sure hope you're purty....snicker.

I hope your not mad. *head explodes*

That's true given that Latin but do you really think it is true as a matter of modern meaning?

It's "for all intents and purposes" not "for all intensive purposes."

When I worked as a gofer in a DC government job during a college summer, I had a boss who would always say: "in lieu of" instead of "in view of". Every time he said it, which was often because he wanted to appear very important, I would die a little bit on the inside.

Can I just say that it is possible that all of these malapropisms are being uttered by the same person who has travelled through time and space to torment and amuse us?
