I posted this answer on Siren's thread, but probably no one will read it there. So, for a slow Sunday morning, is your favorite pet peeve in English at this site? Check it out!

Yes, "irregardless" is near the top of my list for English pet peeves.

Oops! I thought you meant the country

 

[Cheyenne]

Hmmm... guess I should have titled it English LANGUAGE pet peeves, huh?

Congradulations! Weather or knot you meant to be tongue and cheek, you have cut me to the corps with you're aggravating intranet web sight.

And another thing, whereabouts are you at? Irregardless of the intent, you've got another thing coming if you think you can put anything passed us!

I'd kind of like to build off of what you started because I have the upmost respect for you. For all intensive purpose, you are a women that we can all admire in the altogether. Oh I can pore on the charm if I want, butt I just want to wet your appetite for now.

I am not trying to flount anything because I was taut to use good grammer. If I have made any mistakes, please RSVP to me.

Sinserely,

That's great... now who's going to proof read it for errors? I'm not brave enough. I might miss some.

I just skimmed it, but there was one I hear mostly in the Midwest where my mom lives, but it bugs the shit out of me. 'Nother. Not as in "do you want another one" but as in "I ate a who 'nother one of of them". WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?

Hey, I think you said you all like me naked!?!?

 

[Barb Dwyer]

Viola!

Of coarse I can see were you might of thoughten that. If you want to be butt-naked that is certainly you're perogative. I should of been much more explanatory. Is it a mute point to talk about nude people on a porn cite?

Rest a sure, I myself do not swing back and forth that way. I like men because they theirselves are so very unique.

(*thud* sound of all my English teachers dropping dead from sheer - or is it shear?- shock!)

Somebody stop me. I am on a role! (hehehe)

*next up on Jerry Springer, people who played around with language until it got stuck that way* This is like crossing your eyes and your mother's warnings!

 

[Cheyenne]

She's out of control!

*running from my thread*

 

[Bob Peale]

Let's just hope that barb continues to use her power for evil...

I had to read the 'bad' paragraphs at least three times before I realized there was something incorrect with them. Proof, once again, that I'm an internet baby.

 

[Cheyenne]

Bump.

 

[Never]

*mutters about people who bump into others and don't even say 'Excuse Me'*

Barb, 60% of the people reading this will not detect a single error in it.

And that is the scary part!
