My grammer peeves are centered around advertising.

Sybase: “Architected for change.” (C’mon, people! ARCHITECTED? Pleeze.)

Apple: “Think different.” (Someone, just kill me now.)

Kinko’s: “The new way to office.” (Ow! Ow! You’re hurting me!)

In college, the one that always got me was “so fun.” Arrgg! My friends and I decided that since it sounded so much like “sofa,” we would simply use the word “couch” to talk about anything that had been “so [much] fun.” Example: “Dood! Did you go to that kitten snorgling? It was COUCH!”

The new Guinea-O’s cereal are all the rage with the kids

LOL Brak @ magazine prescription!!!…on another message board I post on we have made these annoyances into running jokes…like “could you be more pacific?” which has led to us calling that ocean the Specific Ocean…haha. Some people like to make up their own words, which is fine, if they have a meaning for them and do it on purpose, but the idiot I worked with is just ignorant. and annoying. and nasty. which is why I make fun of her. If I liked her at all I would overlook it.

Ceebs, if I may… I hear stuff like that all the time. I work for a magazine, and I wish I had a nickel for every time someone has called and said “I want to get a prescription to your magazine…” I’ve also heard the word “flustrated,” and I figured it means someone who’s so frustrated he’s also flustered. Then there’s “fusstrated,” which I guess is someone who’s so frustrated he starts fussing.

YAY!

My end of the deal… marmies, naturally…

Gotta love Daily Kitten.

…and we fergives you fer the spelling, there. I think we all knew what you mean.

haha. Michelle, you are our Limerick Master.

(tho’ I’d add “who” to the second-last line, “and who battle with wits….”).

Teho, thanks for the kitten bonus.

If I had a notion worth selling
my case might be much more compelling
to those who pick nits
and battle with wits
if reproaching with accurate spelling!

The one with the necklace (from what I can see) looks just like one of mine when she was a piglet.

*must get a digicam*

Thinker, Michelle, Jaypo, Kris from New England … I bow down before thy mastery of Thy Limerick.
