or ending any sentence with a preposition!

Where are you at?



This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.



If you're making a joke, I don't know what you're laughing at. There's not much here to make fun of.

It's a reference to a joke my HS English teacher told. It was about taking the "don't end a sentence with a preposition" idea too seriously.

Here's another one.

Guy #1: "Good to meet you. Where are you from?"
Guy #2: "I am from a place where we learned not to end our sentences with prepositions."
Guy #1: "Oh, I'm sorry. Let me rephrase. Where are you from, asshole?"

Oh wait--I see what you did there. Cute.

Didn't mean anything by that second joke, by the way. It's just another HS joke--I don't mean to be nasty.

My otherwise smart, well-educated DH writes "should of" or "could of" instead of should've/could've. I shudder to think what his colleagues must think of him.

If you spent the day with your nose in a pile of Real Simples, you "pored" over them. Not "poured".

If you dress with panache you have "flair". Your outdated jeans may end in a "flare".

I see these mistakes in print all the time.

I wish my weight were loose, then it would be easier to lose. My problem is that it's too tight!

It is a moot point, not a 'mute' point. eeesh.

He's writing phonetically. (Somewhere in his brain he knows it's "have.") I knew someone who wrote "next store" instead of "next door."

I have wanted to pour over a pile of Real Simples. Specifically, pour over gasoline, followed by a match.

No one is axing the right question yet.

I hate it when people ask DCUM for advise. It's ADVICE, people!

I admit that this one is a little anal on my part, but I hate when people mispronounce adjective as ah-jah-div. It's ad-ject-ive. It has a C and a T.

Now I can sleep.
