point of order
i know this makes me an anal retentive grammar bastard, but:
it's you're welcome, NOT you welcome.
i'm sure that others out there have pronunciations (damn that's hard to type) or grammar issues that drive you bonkers. go ahead! get 'em out there! here's your forum. speak up people!

I hear you, brother!
What about "Your welcome"? NO NO NO... Aaaaahhhhh.
Some people drop the "r" in frustrated and say "fustrated" instead. This drives me crazy.
Also, I hate it when "meantime" is used alone as opposed to "In the meantime..." It just sounds funny... even if it is used as an adverb. In my book (I don't care what Webster's says), these words should ALWAYS be used like this:
"In the meantime..." or "meanwhile."
I made more enemies on the AI4 message boards for correcting grammar. I could go on for days. My most recent complaint is to those who insist on putting an apostrophe on any plural word. Example: Menu Special - Chicken and Dumpling's. And I see this on billboards, in magazines, etc. etc.
I work remotely with a guy, so I don't really know him personally, who over the phone is pretty pompous with a lot of backstory and few valid points. The other day he said something was a 'mute point'. He really wows me with his worldly knowledge.
It's ES-presso. Not EX-presso. The former is a delicately brewed beverage bursting with rich flavor. The latter is an incantation in the final Harry Potter book.
just this very second you reminded me of that fed-ex commercial...
"you mean we don't get french benefits?"
i laugh like a complete dork (no surprise there) every time i see that commercial.
oh, and ciaobella needs to start a flippin' blog.
For now, I prefer to live vicariously through others blogs and pseudo co-blog though SSW.
I am the Ghost Blogger.
