MarkB Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 -Heard this one on Sesame Street one day as a kid: Big Bird: "There IS five red blocks in this box". (Cringe) "IS" in this case is singular! You cannot use that word to describe multiple items! The appropriate phrase would be "There ARE five red...." :morons: It's scary how a steroid-using bird, cookie-addicted "monster" and angry homeless guy are teaching the future of a nation how to talk, spell and use numbers. Respect the grouch - realest dude on Sesame Street! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The one that irks me is when people say "I could care less" when they probably mean "I couldn't care less". Yeah, I hate that one. Other ones that bother me are when people say "anyways," or "all the ways." I also hate it when people use "yous" instead of "all of you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Have we talked about to/too/two/tu yet? Even if so, it bears (not bares) repeating. Do not say: The Yankee offense was to powerful. I am going too the store. Et two brute? Or I will feel like ripping your heart out of your chest and throwing it against a brick wall. Sort of. Also, if you're quoting people with quotation marks, make sure it's actually what they said. Everyone I work with is constantly writing (not righting) things like: He came out of the bathroom, refusing to take a shower saying, "He was not going to take a shower." --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probaseball203 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 this is a hilarious post... the one thing that really makes me angry is when i tell someone something and they are like "are you serious?" or "seriously" or the worst one is "noooo your not being serious...really?!"" i want to slap them. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
