I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!



Recommended Posts

My biggest irk must be from the patients I help at "the clinic" . . . most are under insured or from very low socioeconomic backgrounds. . many of them have been arrested or come to the clinic in shankles accompanied by their guards who carry guns' date=' billyclubs, etc. . . when these patients come in, they don't see me as their caregiver, they see me as "Miss" . . . it's "Miss" this and "Miss" that. . . don't they see I'm a older woman with a ring on my left hand? Being from the deep south (SA TX) the word Ma'am is much more respectable then the dreaded "Miss". . . . . I understand they probably don't know better, but it's just a irk on my part. . . thanks for listening. . .[/quote']

Being from the Pacific Northwest, I would love to be called miss! Sounds better than dude!!!

I'm from the south, and there is usually a "hold my beer" mixed in there as well.

I can't stand "should have went" or "has went" instead of "should have gone" or "has gone." I don't know why this has become so common. There is one person at work that does this all day long and it drives me crazy! Have/has/had do NOT go with went.

I have a manager at my workplace who says "kindigarden" instead of kindergarten. She also misuses words, e.g. exterminating circumstances instead of extenuating circumstances. It makes it impossible to respect her.

I'm in Southern Indiana (redneck haven) and something that drives me batty is when people say "ideal" instead of "idea."

Also when "can't" is pronounced "caint."

But my FAVORITE thing I've learned from my very southern family is this: nothing is insulting if it's started or ended with "bless his heart..."

Here's some rural southern vernacular that drives me batty. Look..."mirlk" is on sale 2.50/gallon! WTH...it's milk for goodness sake...I can't stand the use of the letter "r" in words that it does not belong!!!! And BTW.....spaghetti is not a freaking vegetable side dish!!!!!!!!!

      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.
