What word, when mispronounced, DRIVES YOU CRAZY?!
@sinbach I've probably said this to you before... not a pronunciation, but when people say "I could care less" I genuinely feel my sanity slipping away. No. You could NOT care less. That's. The. Whole. Point. Drives me crazy 🤦🏻♀️
@bethany I have never said it any other way other than "I could care less." 😂
but NO ONE should take language instructions from me. EVER. I think in America, we like to say things wrong on purpose.
Just like, "they want to have their cake and eat it too...." when it is supposed to be "eat their cake and have it too."
"For all intensive purposes" and not for all intents and purposes.
Case in point instead of case and point.
"That'll learn him" instead of "That'll teach him."
And we even adopt brand names for generic language.
"what kind of coke would you like" instead of "what kind of soda would you like" - even when talking about Pepsi.
"Can you pass me a Kleenex" instead of "can you pass me a tissue."
Sometimes I think that the early Americans hated the British so much that they kept the language just to butcher it.
@MaryMamuzich I'm afraid this is still a very touchy subject Mary. Ask @sinbach.... I'm still waiting patiently
@bethany @sinbach Bethany, I don't see a 🦋 behind your name yet! Who's in charge here, anyway??? 😊
