Words I hate ...


There are a lot of words I hate. I mean ... just can't stand. I am not a professor in English but I would think that people older than myself, currently in school, and the self proclaimed know-it-alls would at least be able to get it right. My list is as follows:

1. supposably - from supposedly and probably being mashed together. Do these middle school, high school valley girls know that it isn't a word? I don't think so.

2. doverman - I have heard many people say this word with a "v". I have then asked them to spell this word. They spell it correct! But insist on pronouncing it as if they didn't just say the frickin' "b".

3. snap - My nephew says this instead of saying shit. I guess it's a good thing that he isn't swearing but it's awfully annoying to hear ... oh snap, what the snap (I guess it holds a place for f#$k, too), snap snap snap.

4. too - This is the most irritating to see in print. People online in chat ... I don't know how you can continue to be so dumb. Too (as well, in addition to, preceeded with a comma) .... !!!!!

Again I don't profess to be the smartest or the world's best English professor ... but come on people! Don't you at least want to NOT look so dumb?
