You forgot: “He shown disrespect.” Also omitted, the emerging "disrespeckin'," in the nounification of the verbification of a perfectly good noun. To wit (from nitwit): "You'll get payback for the disrespeckin' shown the Cavs."
One could do a whole column on the various abuses: Respect is the Rodney Dangerfield of Words. My favorite [read: most despised] abuser is Phil Simms, who also appears not to be aware of an entire part of speech called the adverb. [Hint to Phil -- add an "-ly" to your repertoire and you may actually sound like someone who went to college for something other than throwing a football.]

Nor is it mar shell. Hmmmmmm, that Mars Shell picture looks suspiciously similar to the one of Elvis on Mars ....

Precisely, and texting is going to further degrade literature.

“As for ‘Marshall Law’... that’s at my sister’s house since she married a man named ‘**** Marshall!”
FredZarguna :
“Not Marital Law?”
Well-yes-that too!

Haven't read through all the posts, but also want to mention that lose and loose are two different words. In lose, the "s" is sounded like "z." In loose, it sounds like "s."
Examples: Specter is a loser.
Obama has a screw loose.
Got it?

I've been crusading on this issue for 50 years, it is a waste of time, LOL. You may as well point out the distinction between to and too.
It takes dedicated teachers who are allowed to inflict pain to teach some things, we haven't had any of those for decades!

We should start a special thread for Grammar Grunts.
As in The Office - when Oscar, Toby and Pam began their exclusive lunch group; *The Finer Things*.
We could be really pompous pests;) LOL!!!!!

Or in the loo, you are pooing poo.
The order of these things has always troubled me. When you're hobnobbing with the attractive marketing rep in the hallway at a convention, are you hobbing her nobs, or nobbing her hobs?
Sounds like an EEOC case either way...

"Marsha, oh Marsha ... your turn to leave us for a month. Becoming much clearer now, isn't it? You left us for a month and you lived with the outsiders. But you were due back yesterday and you didn't show up! Now, that's very selfish Marsha, my dear. All of us wait for our turn and we simply do not overstay it! Now, it was my turn starting last night. I'm one day delayed already."
To: FredZarguna
Sounds like an EEOC case either way... Yep -- you're hit or miss with it. Or would that be hit your miss??

That’s Eddy Munster, dammit! Funny, as I see Eydie Gorme.
