But hey, who's being picky? What agitates me (and I see it a lot here) is when something "needs painted" or "needs fixed". It's like nails on a chalkboard. An item "needs fixing" or "needs to be fixed". Your elementary school teachers are rolling in their graves. And if they're not dead yet, don't let them see your terrible grammar. They'll shoot themselves; their lives are a sham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWRB Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 13 hours ago, dads706 said: Years ago when I was doing work for some defense contractors I somehow got shipped off to DC to listen to a bunch of Georgetown lawyers explain why I should always use terms like "could" or "can" and NEVER use terms like "would" or "will". The session had absolutely nothing to do with what I was doing, but it was interesting and gave some insight into legal speak. I still think about that sometimes when dealing with legal stuff. I work with lawyers all day long. Getting things accomplished is SOO effing hard, on account of their commitment issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve C. Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 A couple of my pets: Weather guy or babe saying "normal" instead of "average". In the midwest, and I'm sure many other places, normal is not average, and average is not normal. "reach out" - we used to call, or get in contact, or write, but now we just reach out. I can picture George Carlin doing a bit on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, somehow, this topic could be transplanted over there, with all those grammar school drop-outs, it would be roundly criticized, called the “English Police”, or simply taken as a personal affront. Really disappointed in that crew this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I doubt IF 99 percent of those twits "flogging him", know that "kerosene", is basically tractor fuel, or distillate, and that gasoline came about long after tractors were BUILT to run on any of the low-grade fuels. "Ducknose Bob", and "Abdul and his Seven Goats" gave up on yt.stewpid long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
