lcelmer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I hate seeing all about how people have been "pouring" over books or a curriculum. Not sure what they are pouring over those books, but it must surely ruin them. :iagree::iagree::iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I loath that one myself. And loave/loaf-- "I loaf you" sounds like you're falling asleep on the other person. :001_tt1: Did you do that one on purpose? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetbasil Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It's not walla/wallah, it's VOILA. With a V! whelp/welt passed/past More than anything, I'm bugged by the extraneous apostrophes that are EVERYWHERE. I don't expect people to be perfect, and maybe it's wrong that I hold home schoolers to a higher standard, but I'm always embarrassed to see that mistake. But then again, maybe the non-hsing public doesn't know any better, either, and my embarrassment is for naught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma H Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is something I have noticed as I just recently moved to Missouri. People will say whenever when they mean when. An example, "I will get milk whenever I go to the store." I think it is just funny--a lot (watched myself there!) of people do it here. Some of the old timers even say "you'uns". Our realtor asked us if you'uns would like something to drink. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm such a stickler about not ending my sentences with a preposition. If I have to make an extra long sentence or word it crazy to avoid doing so, I will. It's just my thing. When I read novels and the author ends sentences with a preposition, I notice each and every one. Maybe this will help. :001_smile: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/top-ten-grammar-myths.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
