FlaSoxxJim Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 'Very unique' is the term that cheeses me off the most. Unique means one-of-a-kind so that kind of covers it. Very unique is like for ever and ever, as Father Guido would say. You know what word I'm not comfortable with? Nuance. It's not a real word. Like gesture. Gesture's a real word. With gesture you know where you stand. But nuance? I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 03:56 PM) Centrifugal. Is NOT a word. Untrue. Centrifugal IS a word, it's just not the motion characteristic for circular motion (aka centripetal force) that most people believe it is. Using the term to describe societal movement away from central beliefs, for example, the centrifugal leanings of a separatist movement, is perfectly acceptable use of a real word that means to flee (Latin fugere) from the center.

maggliopipe Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not so much a word but a phrase, I can't stand 'I could care less'. And it's not just idiots that say it, even intelligent people say it incorrectly. I find myself pulling out the 'scale of caring' on my raised arm (i.e. the elbow=do not care, fingertips=maximal amount of care) to clarify why 'I could care less' is in direct opposition to what they're trying to say. I feel like a real asshole when I do that though, but frankly, I couldn't care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 When people type "should of", "could of" or "would of". They are typing the sound of the contraction "should've" which should be spelled out as "should have". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a snobbish erudite prat for feeling the need to point out the distinction I know, so hopefully you weren't hurted by it.

Kalapse Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The phrase "try and" really pisses me off. It makes absolutely NO sense and EVERYONE uses it. "I'm gonna try and loosen the screw." NO! "I'm going to try to loosen the screw." QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) I always spell "eigher" which annoys the hell out of Kalapse. Which of these two sentences 1.) makes logical sense 2.) do you hear more often. "I like chocolate better than vanilla." "I like chocolate more than vanilla." How the hell do you like something "better" than something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
