[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 236180, member: 3647"] CJ, rofl! OK, this drives me nuts: "old fashion". As in old fashion lemonade. It's old fashionED. "whip cream". It's whippED cream. "save 30% off!" No, you either [I]save[/I] 30%, or you [I]receive[/I] 30% off. Gaaah. Libary (instead of library), pitcher (instead of picture), punkin (instead of pumpkin), acrost (instead of across), Wi[U]n[/U]sconsin (instead of Wisconsin), and the WORST is "[U]ell[/U]inoy" or "illi[U]noize[/U]" for Illinois. OK, now this is not a mistake people make, this is just some words I hate. Wasp, lisp, wisp...especially plural. Whose idea was that. Prune is the funniest word in the English language. Sorry Loth, I think we Chicagoans cornered the market on youse guys. I hate it too. Man I am a picky brat. [/QUOTE]
