Pet peeve/I judge...

boxermama24 · April 2011

People who say "pacific" instead of "specific."

I feel better now.

BabyAHayes · April 2011

Hahahahaha......mine is people who spell "lose", loose......makes me crazy!!

roshybride · April 2011

lol. One of my classmates used "submerge" instead of "emerge" on a powerpoint slide in a presentation!

But, but...what if I said, "pacifically" yesterday to a co-worker, on purpose, in a mocking way? And then we had a jolly chuckle about it after?

I know what you mean though...I loathe that.
Also, "irregardless" and "eck-cetera" instead of "et cetera".

That's a good one.

My DH says ideal instead of idea. He won't believe me that he is using the word ideal wrong... although there is a good chance that he does it to annoy me.

I hate "fustrated" instead of "frustrated" too.

Irregardless is the worst.

The bump doesn't even underline it as a misspelled word.

I judge people who come in to my work and ask to refill their "subscription."

Linz29 · April 2011

When people say mute point instead of moot point and when people say acrossT instead of across.

MrsRustyGriswold · April 2011

And people who want to "ax" a question.

KR1505 · April 2011

Or "axe" instead of "ask". Or incorrect use of "was", ie: "they was going to the store", or "we was riding in the car". People, "was" is only for the first and third person singular conjugations!! Also, I get annoyed hearing people say "where you at?". First, the verb is missing. Secondly, "at" is completely unnecessary.

For the record, I also totally judge people who don't know the difference between "good" and "well", and "who" and "whom". Stick out tongue

This. All of it!

Brawl instead of bra

boxermama24 · April 2011

I love this post so, so much.

::hugs post::

joanithegreat · April 2011

I just thought of another one. At Easter dinner one of DH's cousins told another cousin that she was the brains, he was the "bronze".

I was nice and didn't correct her or laugh in her face.

laurynfaerie · April 2011

ALL of these make me want to stab myself. Awful.

cookie_queen · April 2011

The "loose" for lose gets me stabby every time.

DH cannot use borrow and lend correctly. For example "Bill borrowed me $20"

Drives me batty.

The.worst.thing.ever.

magdalina.h · April 2011

It's kinda cute, but still drives me batty. MH can't say Valentines day, he says Valentimes day.

+diana82+ · April 2011

omg everything in this thread drives me insane.

BabyAHayes · April 2011

I think I just peed a little.....

I work for a magazine subscription agency and get asked to renew "prescriptions" all the time.

andrew's wifey · April 2011

My mom says idear in stead of idea, and she say wada instead of water. Why she puts 'r's on things that don't have them and takes them off of things that do baffles me.

Also, my dad says wawst instead of wasp. Kills me. He's such a country bumpkin though.

"irregardless" drives me nuts!! I hate it, and my H is a freelance writer so he has a lot of pet peeves with the way people speak and write.

I had a geography teacher that called it the Specific Ocean. He could write Pacific, it just came out Specific Ocean whenever he said it.

Agreed!

WaitingOnTwoPinkLines · April 2011

I work at a vet clinic, so most of mine are animal-related.

Rock-weiler instead of Rottweiler. Provo instead of Parvo. Dier-rhea instead of diarrhea. Datsun instead of Dachshund. Chiwawa instead of Chihuahua (this is usually a written mistake). OH! & "spayded" instead of spayed. (Or, sometimes you'll see in the paper "spade").

DH says "proununciate" instead of "annunciate". Drives me batty.

One of my friend's little girls (she's 5) calls roaches "Croach Bugs" & wasps "Wasks". But that's pretty cute Pancakes are panny-cakes to SD.

stephsteph77 · April 2011

I have to throw in mine - people that say liberry instead of libRary. The kids in my class do it all the time and it makes me crazy.

How did you hear the difference between 'bronze' and 'brawns'?

swimrbride · April 2011

Mine is people that say "flustrated" instead of "frustrated." A lot of my patients (who are older) tend to use that and it drives me NUTS!

LMAO what is wrong with these people? Are they reading their pills and eating their magazines?

UK2ME · April 2011

All of these, and...

"Rediculous"

That one just kills me.

akalutts · April 2011

I about wet my pants - FB friend just called a band "Mind Bottling!"

I'm dying laughing!

joanithegreat · April 2011

Frootloop, my phone isn't letting me quote, but it is brawn not brawns (or bronze.)

mlb108 · April 2011

ME TOO (re: pacific & specific). I had a file with that issue the other day, btw. So annoying.

I had a professor who jokingly created the word disirregardless, it was rather amusing...
