Oh I also hate when people say "pony" to mean baby horse. Pony does NOT mean baby horse.

"youse"

As in the plaural of you.

No, the plaural of you, is .....YOU!!!







ITA!

And additionally, the spelling of "use" to mean the plural of "you"

Re: words / phrases that drive you nuts

I hate when someone I know says...

"let me see that" instead of saying "let me have that" (an item of some sort).

See and have are NOT interchangeable.

Re: words / phrases that drive you nuts

obvi - short for obvious

He thinks who he is - I've heard people use this instead of "who does he think he is" and it's not that it bothers me, I just don't get it

cuppy-cakes - I've had 2 people refer to cupcakes like this

Re: words / phrases that drive you nuts

The worst offender:

"A WHOLE NOTHER"

NOTHER???? NOTHER????

No people. It is either:

"ANOTHER"

or

"A WHOLE OTHER "

To me, any time someone uses that phrase, it makes my toes curl and I want to clobber the person who says it like Captain Caveman.

It's supposed to be
could have (could've)
would have (would've)
should have (should've)

The puzzling misuse of "needless to say"

As in:

So yesterday I went to the bank to apply for a loan. Needless to say, two men came into the bank and robbed it!

Um, what? Yeah, you needed to say that! We would NOT have guessed that.

Re: words / phrases that drive you nuts

When people say "On yesterday..." or "on tomorrow..." - It just irks the he11 out of me

When DH says "Cut off the light" or pronounces cement like "see ment" instead of "si ment"

I don't know WHY but my entire family says "Open the light" and "close the light" I am not sure if it is because English was not our first language?? But if I don't catch myself - I say it too!

Calling OUT sick ... don't you call IN to the office? Or do you just yell out from home and hope they hear you?

If I am not careful, I catch myself saying "shut the light."

No one in my family says that. I have no idea where I got it from, and it even drives ME crazy. Chat Icon
