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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
