    I have to bite my tongue so that I don't correct people when they use good instead of well. "I did quite good in my last test" instead of "I did quite well in my last test". It's now so prevalent that I think it will become accepted as "correct".

    That reminded me...I caught myself saying "more better" about a week ago, and I was astounded! I don't believe I've ever said anything like that before. My aunt and uncle teased me about it for some time.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    ACK!!! *points* double "er", double "er"!! bad bad bad That one drives me nuts too. My husband likes to double "er" just to drive me nutty

    Lizzie, I know what you mean about good and well. I am forever correcting my dear hubby and he is forever making fun of me for talking "like a snob".
    I know that my grammar isn't perfect, so I wouldn't be offended if someone pointed out my jillion errors And to think, I was a straight "A" student all of the way up until I left college.
