[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 233552, member: 3419"] Star, you are so bad! LOL! I have a bad habit of repeating/rephrasing what people have said. "We don't got none." "Oh, I see you don't have any." Not that they listen. It just makes me feel better. :) Shades of Abbey ... I once went to a chiro in MN who, instead of asking me where I was hurting and what he could do about it, closed the door and said, "What is your pleasure?" Aaaargh! I laughed and said, "I have a lot of pleasures, but right now I want my neck fixed." We charged the kids 25 cents every time they said "like." They don't say it any more. :) Okay, one more. The dad of my best friend in HS was not only a stickler for good English, but a lawyer. Stereotyped. Argumentative. Stubborn. He refused to let me speak to her on the phone unless I said, "May I speak to Chris?" instead of "Can I talk to Chris?" He'd say, "I don't know, can you?" [/QUOTE]
