Have you ever said one of these?
People say these wrong all the time. Have you ever noticed?

No.. usually people say TRIanchula. At least that's been my experience. And "supposably" is a huge one.
I have heard someone say both of these phrases:
1. "when worse comes to shove"
2. "this job can be very physically commanding"
so.... the question is.. do we remain quiet and let them continue thinking what they said is OK(with a high probability they will repeat it), or do we politely inform them that they said something wrong(allowing them to learn and adjust)?
I JUST NOW realized that PIN number is redundant. Sharp as a tack.
And I always say "Moo Point." Like on Friends. (It's a cow's opinion. Not worth much.)
isn't "for sell" just that utah accent like "rilly" (really) and "dill" (deal)??
I am laughing so hard right now. "for rill" so funny. and some are specifically heard only in Utah. Thanks.
I corrected my husband once, because he called the illness my child had "ammonia". He still says it wrong just to piss me off. I may have handled it the wrong way... instead of just saying "I think you might be pronouncing that word incorrectly" I had to say something about "cleaning up the germs with it".
Your post cracks me up, but then you are Katy after all, so you always crack me up.
Okay folks....it is NOT Zions....it is Zion national park.
I love it when I say regardless and people correct me with "irregardless" Whatever.
Hi - just found your blog from a cjane link.
Two of my favorites:
1. "how come?" instead of "why?"
2. "a whole nother" instead of "another whole" (or simply another would work most of the time!)
Thanks for adding a smile to my day!
