| 1319731 | 2012-12-22 19:54:00 | "Jewelry" instead of "jewellery" "Mischevious" (miss-chee-vee-us") instead of "mischevous" Weather presenters using a pretentious (and strictly incorrect) "negative" temperature, instead of using "minus" or "below". Actually, make that "presenter" singular because there's only one idiot locally who does that (I know of). News readers placing an incorrect emphasis on words, resulting in a totally different meaning. A classic example of this was when a newsreader was relating the events leading up to a brawl. Having given that background, she followed on with "the Police say ... " (should have been, "the Police say ... ") Rant over :sleep |

| 1319735 | 2012-12-22 21:06:00 | I hate when people have a phrase or word completely wrong because they have misunderstood what they hear. Using "of" instead of "have" is a common one and makes no sense when you look at it. Just because contractions like "must've" (must have) sound like "must of" which is nonsensical. Things like "for all intensive purposes", "with all do respect", etc. Easy to miss in conversation but glaringly obvious when written down. |

| 1319739 | 2012-12-22 21:50:00 | I hate it when people say they'll speak "with" someone, rather than "to". "With" essentially means at the same time... Especially telephone receptionists that add insult to injury with grammatical error "Good morning, you're speaking with Sweet Fanny, how can I assist you today?" Grrr |
