It's "bald-faced liar", not "bold-faced liar."

Sorry, missed it.

It's regardless, not irregardless.

It's drowned, not drownded.

It's a moot point, not a mute point.

Conversate is not a word.

Think it over. I'm not the type of teacher to just give out the answer.

I saw one of the funniest posts on someone's FB page the other day, which I think the readers of this thread will appreciate. As background, some friends from highschool are late 30s and living like they are 25. They were joking about having a 'manaje atwa'.

I get hives everytime I hear someone say "him/her and I".

Since we're being picky . . . Replace WHO with WHOM since it's the direct object. (You are quoting WHOM?)

Technically you're correct. I just felt like giving you a hard time.

What about a lesbian couple?

Still, only one person can be pregnant. Unless, both are carrying a baby.

NP here;sorry i don't read voraciously. I have a life to live and don't lock myself up in a room focused on other peoples spelling and grammatical shortcomings. It maybe because my DH and I actually have a happy marriage and dont ignore our kids or each other. we are not uptight prudes.

Get out your red pen! That should keep you busy for a minute or two.

I just wanted to mention that regardless of grammar, the content of this post is one of the bitchiest I've seen on DCUM. As if being a voracious reader meant one could not also enjoy a happy marriage or dote on one's children!

Please, get over yourself, PP. I can understand your poor logic skills (due to your lack of interest in reading or other scholarly pursuits, I'd assume), but do you really have to play the old "smart people are cold and unfeeling, but dumb people are happy, genuine folks" card? I'm sorry you feel inferior, but attacking others is not the way to feel better.

On a tangential note, there are a words and phrases that I didn't know how to pronounce properly until I was in college because I'd only read them and never heard them spoken. I'm not sure if this is a more or less embarrassing problem than then menage a trois mistake, but it was most common with place names that were (the classic examples being, of course, Greenwich Village and Worcester, Mass.).

Which reminds me: voila, not walla.

Just "there are words...." Oops.
