I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!



Recommended Posts

It's rant about a checker at my grocery store misusing a word!!!

What's to "frown on"?

I was talking about the comments made about posters here on this site (i.e. loosing vs losing). Lately, one of the administrators has had to re-post the rules about forum use.

A confessed over ellipsis user... ;D

That particular rant was about 2-3 weeks ago. It was pretty funny.

I didn't mean to start anything mean! I hope no one thought so. Just a funny example of one of my pet peeves.

That poor girl also told me that she'd, "cut somebody's throat" without her caffeine and cigarettes! :o

So was mine. I guess they didn't like the comment about the rant about the use of an ellipsis.

It bugs me when people use irregardless instead of regardless.

I'm sorry to point it out but I sincerely wish people on this site would stop using a script font. Yes, it's very pretty, but almost impossible to read. And I really do want to read what you have to say!

Grammar - how about nucular, for nuclear?

Even newscasters do it. Makes me crazy.

In written form though, we do have to lay some blame on spell check as well!

Well, I can tell you I was mortified when I use the word "BY" instead of "BUY" sometimes I am typing from my blackberry which I hate. When I realize my error, it drives me nuts. If it is a post I can change it, if it is title not so much!

I am more forgiving of spelling errors but it's grammar errors with the spoken word or advertisements that drive me up the wall!

Siri sometimes doesn't understand my southern drawl!!

Yea i didn't point out anyone and it wasn't directed at anyone or even at this board. This is a very common mistake that i seriously thought people didn't know about. I'm sure the other references can be found on this forum too but apparently as long as it's not a mass mistake it's ok. I've never been a grammar nazi on here but hello that's what this post is... If I offended anyone that was NEVER my intention. I figured they just saw it wrong on here so much they truly didn't know it was wrong. Which is why I would never call someone out in a regular post on grammar. But if this was offensive I feel the whole topic should have been removed because somewhere on here all of these mistakes have been made.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
