14. Spelling looser incorrectly as loser
Listen, if you're going to have that attitude...
Regards,
All I know is that back in the day we never said BACK IN THE DAY!!!
= = = = = = = = = =
Didn’t ‘adults’ say ‘In my day......’
and
Did YOU ever believe you would be using the term
‘Turn of the century’?
Everytime I ‘use’ it I preface it with “I don’t believe I am saying this”......
Now we can use a rerun of the ‘20s...Flappers and all..
Just sayin’.
‘...”So” as an interjection.’
The use of ‘so’ or a similar word as an interjection is very old in the English language. The very first word in the Old English poem “Beowulf” is ‘Hwat!’, which is used much like ‘So!’. Some times, poets and writers used ‘Lo!’ in the same way.
moving forward
A hydrogen atomic nucleus is massive, an earthquake, regardless of it's strength, is not.
It’s definitely a lib thing, and often when they have no answers but are trying to shake down or guilt trip the American people anyway.
My pet peeve is, who the heck turned the word “ask” into a noun?!
“The ASK is that we get this done by the end of the week.”
Grrr.
I routinely use “looser” in the place of “loser” and almost no one catches it. It’s one of those things.
national conversation
We need a national conversation on race (presumably to straighten out all the peckerwoods. and support BLM)
LOL!
Try packing a picnic lunch and inviting a friend out saying, “I’m just feeling gay today”. (watch friend run the other way)
= = = = = = = = =
Then again, if the ‘friend’ smiles coyly and giggles you may not know him/her as well as you think you do....<: <: <:
I use Luzr. Easier to text.
“empower women”
Empower women is really giving external power to something that should be internal. And with legal equality and natural power who is more powerful than woman anyway.
You cis-gendered sorts are inflicting microaggression.
Radicalized is a passive verb that takes away responsibility of the person who committed the terrorist act and ascribes it to external forces. Any terrorist acting alone in the US has been referred to as radicalized.
“for all intensive purposes...”
This is a mis-spelling, or mis-pronounciation, of “for all intents and purposes”, and indicates to me that the speaker/writer is trying to pontificate above their level of education/intelligence. Another which grates on my eyes and ears is to “hone in on” when they appear to mean “to home in on.”
Yesssss! “Reached out to” has crept into business language in a way that’s irritating. I believe the intent is to soften an approach, to make it seem that the described communication is done with compassion, with caring. But the opposite is acheived. My department reached out to security and asked for more coverage. Instead it was actually- we told security to make more patrols of property.
The goal seems to be making life a continual and subtle softening of boundaries or rules.
Reach out to me if you agree:)
