I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!

[lizv123 389]

Here's some rural a 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!!!!!!!!!

We do not "warsh" the dishes. We WASH them! And another one I hear far too often is "ustacould."

I cain't tie my shoes without runnin' outta breath like I ustacould.

Lately I've noticed an epidemic of sorts...people, even people who 'speak' for a living and should know better, are misusing the word literally.

A girl checking me out at the grocery store said, "I literally died!" during our brief conversation. I wanted to gently correct her, but I didn't. I just inwardly cringed and gathered my things.

I also can't stand the ridiculous overuse of "like" these days.

What are your grammar pet peeves?

Well, you must iterally HATE celebs like the Kardashians who misuse literally all the time. I hate when ppl say fishes or shrimps-- UGH!

It was cute but he was mentally challenged.Most of these other people are just morons lol. I got mad at my second grade daughter yesterday for saying "hitted" I know she is only 7 but she is in the GT program at school and I know that she knows better.I hate when my husband who is from the Midwest says Tuesdee or Wensdee instead of Tuesday or Wednesday. I also hate when he says Windy's instead of Wendy's.That is all

I know I'm late to the thread, but could not resist sharing mine..."I'm sorry for your LOST". OOOOH that just does something to me! I just feel that if there has been a LOSS, that isn't the time for me to enforce proper grammar...lol. It doesn't mean I'm mot bothered by it though.

I saw a tshirt the other day that said, "I'm silently correcting your grammar." and I thought about everyone here!! LOL

I had a coworker who always had "erins" to run. It wasn't until he typed it to me in an email that I corrected him. I have felt guilty about it for years now.
