It hard to really buy this give the complete lack of real world examples...

Probably because even if "supposably" is [i]a word, it has never been used correctly in the entire history of spoken English...

If you are complimenting someone on his tenacity, you may call this person a trouper, NOT a trooper!

I met a young child with the nickname Trooper because, Mom explained, that was the nickname given to him in PICU; “the nurses said he was a real trooper (sic).” Guess parents never thought to check the correct spelling.


Trouper originates from one who is part of a theatre troupe and thus realizes the show must always go on. Trooper originates from the designation given to soldiers and police officers, who are also no strangers to difficult conditions in the line of duty.


Doesn't this last bit undermine your argument, though? So on on the one hand, you have "troupers" who know the show must go on. On the other hand you have "troopers" who struggle through adversity as well. Frankly I think you've made an excellent argument for both variants being acceptable if you're trying to compliment someone for being tenacious.

I'm on my period.

I think these are regionalisms so I try not to hate them as much as plain old errors. But “lying on me” rather than “lying about me” drives me nuts.


And what about "hating on" or "loving on" something? When did that happen? Also, my fitness instructor sometimes tells us to "grab on our weights." I really dislike that.
