I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!

LOL...we all have our quirks! When I was an attendance manager' date=' at a call center, most of the reps would start out with "what had happened was..." ... and I knew to sit back and be entertained for a bit with their story telling... I wonder how much of all that was ever true <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> [/quote']

OMG, I used to work in a call center. I know exactly what you mean!!!

the manager behind me would start stories with "what had happened was..." to each other... I still keep in touch with her, and everytime I call her, that's how I start the conversation! She always knows it is ME

"See...what had happened was...". LOL

I could easily become a grammar Nazi so it's probably not a good idea for me to list all the mistakes I hear on a regular basis that drive me crazy. I don't know how anyone in this town passes English.

One spelling error that really bothers me because I see it so much is when people spell separate seperate.

Hehe, I really like this thread because I'm learning

Wow, now I just hope I remember.

My memory is just as bad as my grammar.

You are correct! My husband was a full blown Yankee from PA. He has been duly Southernized. His family no longer recognizes his voice on the phone. That's what a Southern Belle and country living do to you! LoL

My biggest pet peeve is when you hear professional people say, "you welcome." It's you're as in YOU ARE!!! Grrrrr. Lol. Or how about like-ded... I likeded that, it was fun!

I don't have too many pet peeves but one of them is "axe" instead of "ask"

Here's a something that really irks me: When someone states the obvious. "It's hot out here today", when indeed it is hot. That's annoying (to me).
