It really irks me when people say conversate instead of converse, or orientated instead of oriented and irregarless instead of regardless.Even Axe instead of ask makes my skin crawl. Maybe I'm wrong, but I learned english differently. :mad:
What words irk you? (or is irk even a word?)

"looks like" should be replaced with "appears as if".
there's quite a few to be picky..."blood mobile" should be "sanguine (sp) mobile" or "blood van"...
and then there's "1000% sure"...

How about "to boldly go" instead of to go boldly??

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

One of mine is when people say "got" when they mean "have." Example: "I gotta go to the store." vs "I have to go to the store."
It's used all the time. "Got" implies an exchange from the infinitive "to get." However, it's best not to correct people, they never seem to forget it, even several months later. :D (see sig)

[topless]

How about could of instead of could have.

[Oldsquirt]

At work, there are several individuals who use "acrost" instead of "across".
On the boards, one of my pet peeves would be the use of "would of", "could of", "should of" , etc.,
rather than the correct "would have", "could have", "should have"
or the appropriate contractions, "would've", "could've", "should've".
disrespect is a noun not a verb.

It is both a noun and transitive verb. :)

When my friends black friends say ambulance or libarie or any words they throw izzle on the end or fool, just basically any ghetto terd opening their mouth.

:mad: "my bad" drives me insane!! :mad: Where the heck did that stupid-ass saying come from? Why do people say that instead of "I'm sorry, or "my mistake."
The thing is, the way we speak is different than the way we write, but in emails and bulletin boards, we often write the way we speak. It appears less formal. I don't have a problem with it really, though some might disagree :D I am guilty of it myself. I think most of us here realize that. Honestly, it doesn't get brought up very often, IMO.
My pet peeve is when someone comes on and completes one of the following two situations: (1) calling someone and idiot/dumbass, etc, and (2) correcting another's grammar/spelling with a post that has it's own grammar and/or spelling issues. Listen, don't call someone and idiot or stupid without checking your spelling and puntuation! It makes you look like a bigger idiot. And especially don't correct someone else for spelling and then have a word misspelled! :rolleyes:
There was one time I saw last week a guy misspelled a word, was called on it in a joking way, came back all short and pissed off telling the corrector that (in so many words) "here was the correct spelling" and "did you have trouble looking it up in the dictionary since you are too stupid to know what it means." Well, the second spelling was also wrong. :messedup:

[Flyinbowtie]

I know this is going to offend teachers in public education, so let me start by saying that is not my intent; I am just sharing some of my personal observations.
Our public schools are not teaching our children to read and write the language of the realm in any real sense of the word.
I spent the majority of my career, "grading papers", which was my term for reading and rejecting police reports prepared by people educated by the school system in California. Thankfully, some were college graduates, and they had some skill in the written word.
However, most were functionally illiterate, and we spent an inordinate amount of time simply teaching them how to write. We actually added two weeks to our Field Training Program to focus on basic composition skills. After that monumental task was finished, (or the recruit was fired), we then taught them to write police reports.
For years I blamed this on kids not trying, parents not pushing, etc.
Then I had an encounter with an alleged English Teacher at the local High School. I had spent several hours working with my son preparing a report that was required as part of his graduation process.
The document was nearly perfect. Okay, it was perfect.
He brought it home and showed it to me. The teacher had made several corrections on the document. All of her corrections were wrong. The original document as turned in was correct.
I flamed out. I made an appointment and met with her the next day.
She corrected her corrections. The document was perfect.
This clarified, for me anyway, why our local recruit pool for deputy sheriff trainees was so lacking in basic composition skills.
A dumbass Sergeant with a B.S. in Criminal Justice had a better grasp of the basics of the mechanics of English Composition and simple report writing than a tenured High School English Teacher.
This isn't good, folks.
Sadly, my former co-workers tell me that the situation continues with recruit report writing, but the agency now does some screening at the application level.
They make applicants hand write the first two or three documents necessary in the process, while under direct observation, so the agency gets a gut feel for whether or not the applicant can freakin' write.
Again, no offense to the teachers out there, but if I was raising kids today, and had 20-20 hindsight, they would be going to private schools.
Oh, and the school I am talking about proudly displays all sorts of high awards for SAT scores, wins state competitions for "School-o-the-year", etc.
Kids today don't read.
They watch MTV, and learn how to talk from the garbage they see there.
We are dumbing ourselves down to a third-world level via our children. They are watching TV, and setting their personal standards based on the worst possible role models.
Flame suit on, shields up, cloaking device and warp drive on stand by...:D

I can't count the number of times I have been listening to someone and they throw in an "axe" instead of ask. Their estimated IQ just dropped by at least half. That is if I can even comprehend what they are speaking about as my mind issues a dumbass alert.
One of the simplest is the difference between two, to and too. I believe I see too not used where it should be several times each day. Strange how certain little things set you off.
I really wish I had paid more attention in spelling class, it is my weakness.

Flame suit on, shields up, cloaking device and warp drive on stand by...:D
I wish I could disagree with you. No flaming from me. We were supposed to work with the English Dept (I teach history) and teach the kids how to create a research paper MLA style (that's a specific way to cite research sources). The English teachers were supposed to teach the kids how to complete a works cited page (different than a bibliography, but they insisted on calling it that) and edit the rough draft. We history teachers were supposed to teach them how to research and cite sources within the document and grade for content. I ended up having to teach the kids how to do the works cited page also because the English teachers were just too busy :rolleyes: Then, I had one specific teacher who edited the works cited page and told the students to do it differently! When I graded the final paper I thought, "Why are these pages all wrong? I taught them how to do it." Then I looked at the rough draft and saw he had told them it was wrong. :mad: I'm not an English teacher, but I had made them instructions direct from the MLA (Modern Language Association) handboook! :mad: :mad: :mad: So I couldn't punish the kid for it. I was so mad, that was the ONLY thing he had to do and he messed it up.
I know that was a long boring story, but I'm still burned about it. I'm just going to do the whole thing myself this year. They cried about the little bit they did anyway. The citing of work is a Language Arts standard, we thought we were helping them out. :rolleyes:

Keep in mind, the language that you speak now is nothing like the Queen's English, so take a pill and stop calling everybody that doesn't speak the same as you "brain dead", "ghetto" or whatever the appropriate slang of the day might happen to be.
There's maybe five people on this forum that should be talking about spelling, punctuation and grammar.
You mean "There ARE maybe five people. . . " :D

Well, an inference is an educated guess based on background knowledge, so yes, you could be correct about that.
And yes, I'm kicking my own ass all the way to the kitchen because everyone is starving. Except me, I had plenty of caffeine to keep the hunger away. Who needs food? :D

BTW - "Do you mind" was a quote from "Liar Liar" when Jim Carey is kicking his own ass in the bathroom when someone walks in and asks him what he is doing. Jim Carey responds "I'm kicking my ass....do you mind!?!?!?!" I was hoping you would infer that. :D

Inference is a stronger form of supposition than assume. Assume is like "Well, it was hot today, so I assume it will be hot tomorrow." You don't know for sure, you're just guessing. When you infer, you come to a conclusion based on the facts presented.
Thanks for the clarification. Last night I was assuming someone on another thread was an a$$hole. Now I know that I actually infered it.:D ;)

If the question is inside the quotes, then the question mark goes inside the quotation marks.
Example of the alternative: Do you like to dance to the song "Muskrat Love"?
Of all the songs, how did you come up with that? That maybe more revealing than you know:idea:

What are you "implying, inferring, concluding?" :D ;)
BTW, does the question mark go inside the quotations, like above,or outside?

Keep in mind, the language that you speak now is nothing like the Queen's English, so take a pill and stop calling everybody that doesn't speak the same as you "brain dead", "ghetto" or whatever the appropriate slang of the day might happen to be.
Who said anything about the Queen's English? Though you mentioned no names, I know who you're talking about.
The "words" I listed are, in fact, ghetto ebonic crap terms. Spewed, originally by morons, and adopted by others who actually have a brain, but think it's somehow cool to sound like an idiot. I don't want or expect everyone to speak perfect english, but inventing "words" like bling and izzle seems retarded to me.
And thanks, but I'll pass on the pills.

Damn!!! I thought this thread would only get a few responses. I guess we have more literate people here than once suspected. Whodda thunk it?:eek:

Way to infer. :rolleyes:
Your point would be so much less smug if you didn't try to make it so obviously racial. You're very smug.
Racial? As you know I made no mention of race. I spoke only of butchered/invented words originated by morons and parroted by folks that know better. If that's perceived as racial then....well I don't know how to respond. To say that I "made it obviously racial" is ridiculous. If a black man says something stupid am I not supposed to say anything because I'm not black?

Basically all words derived from Necklish, Spanglish and Ebonics, piss me off.

I believe it's when someone has a sentence that just keeps going on about several different subjects and never stops with a period and begins a new sentence but contiues to go on and on and then takes a turn but never ends which is very annoying especially when on HB and you're trying to understand what the person is saying but you just can't get past the fact that they keep continuing with the same sentence......:D :D :D ;)
I have a problem with people using the word advise when they are really asking for advice!!
Also, I was in Gadsden, AL recently where the word axed is used way too much!! Another one I learnt (yes learnt) while there was rant...this is used when you want to know how someone's boat ran... Such as " I wanted to axe you how yer boat rant, can you learnt me?"

Can I axe you a question, " Were did you learnt to talk english?"
I found out some time ago that axe is more of a regional thing than a "Black Thang". It bugs the hell out of me either way.

I didn't read the whole post just 3 pages, I really hate it when people call a photograph a pitcher instead of a picture. A pitcher is someone that throws a ball at a batter or something you serve ice tea in. A picture could be a painting or a photograph.
Just my .02 cents.
