Grammar Niggle of the Day...
 
Your interest was piqued, not peaked. It was not peeked, either. Besides, to say your interest was "peaked" is to say you are no longer as interested as you were at that time.

That is all.

Word!

It's also "sleight of hand" - not "slight of hand".

Junchbailey 01-30-2004 06:03 PM

And also it is "intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes."

NetterButter 01-31-2004 10:50 PM

Derwood 02-01-2004 08:59 PM

You are a loser, not a looser.

ESTOY CAYENDO, not ESTOY CAENDO, for fuck's sake!

But then again it's probably intentional...

Head over heels in love... hate that phrase... um, you are almost ALWAYS head over heels. Your head is always over your heels, in terms of positioning, unless you're asleep, or in a strange position.

Have your cake and eat it too - um, you can have your cake and eat it. The phrase should be 'eat your cake and have it too.' that one, you can't do.

most definitely...

It should be "I couldn't care less" not "I could care less" but it doesn't really bother me so much so I guess I could care less.

Jadey 02-02-2004 11:09 PM

There is no "k" in et cetera! Or in especially! They are not pronounced:

ek-SET-ur-a

or

ek-spesh-a-lee!


Dammit!

Batman976 02-02-2004 11:31 PM

It should be pronounced "ax," not "ask." Sheesh people!
