You can wordify anything if you just verb it.

Hahahahhahaaa! I feel the same way about "irregardless."

IT'S NOT A WORD. People use it to sound wicked smaht, but any fool knows that "regardless" suffices and needs not no "ir." :lol:

Oh, and "anyways." Why do people feel the need to add the S?

What, this is not the What Words Are Pissing You Off Today thread?

'Scuse. :D

I can be. I'm all done with judging for now (well at least in this thread...), might as well reuse/recycle, save the environment.....

Okay then, in two steps I saw two words that irritated me.

The first was on a Subway poster - Do the Math! - advertising their sub of the day. No. In this country the abbreviation of mathematics is maths. Don't start trying to import American spellings. Otherwise I will expect an American level of service.

And right next door a professional sign outside a hairdressers advertising Heena Designs on a list of beauty services. Does no-one check their proofs any more?!

Dude, I thought "maths" was just an internet meme.

A (spoken) local car commercial that really bugs me: WE'LL SAVE YOU AT LEAST 3 TO 8 HUNDRED DOLLARS.

No, you'll save me at least 300 dollars. Apparently, at the most you'll save me 800 dollars. Basically, you'll save me anywhere from 3 to 8 hundred dollars.

The whole of the UK is just an internet meme. It usurped the threat of gypsies to small naughty children. "Now then, little Chuckie Spunkwagon the third, you behave yourself on that thar porn site or you'll be in the UK and spelling everything with a u before you know it". Everythiung.

Short answer - no. I've seen many spelling and grammar errors even from major media providers.

Did you mean to use Little Chuckie Spunkwagon in the hobo naming thread? U, U, (who u callin' a U U?)

Saw another one today.
Handwritten card outside a temp agency, advertising for a cleaner.
"Applicats enquire inside"

Didn't make me cross. In fact it made grin all the way through the shopping centre, and people smiled back, so it made my day.

I'm now training Diz to be an applicat.

At an old apartment there was a space where they didn't want anyone to park.

They laid out the lines and the letters all nicely and professionally, painted with the proper type of paint:

NO PAKING

I haven't been able to pake since.

They don't, they ruin it.

People who can't spell shouldn't ruin the word.
