"Whenever" and "Seen"

[luckies4me]

What really drives me up a wall is people who pronnounce words completely wrong.

I put the kickstandard down on my bicycle.

I warshed my clothes.

My cat was spayded, had her rabbies and distemperment shot.

That is a nice wotriller. (rottweiler)


Do you realize how difficult it is to even spell these words the way people pronnounce them? lol

I work at a veterinary clinic and I can't tell you how many times a day I hear those! It's Distemper, not distemperment! Urrgh! K, was my first sentence correct? Lol.

The one that bugs me the most is when people get "too" and "to" mixed up, as well as "your" and "you're".

I am by no means perfect when it comes to spelling, grammar, or punctuation! This would be a good thread to learn from.

So what is correct? Through or thru? I thought thru was only used for "drive thru"? And what about tho, and though? Is tho just the shortcut for though?

I'm so glad to see this thread up again.

I haven't read all the way through it so I'm probably repeating what I'm about to say but it's worth repeating.

Lately I hear alot of people on tv, or otherwise, saying "fustrated" instead of "frustrated". What happened to the "r"???

The other one that I see everywhere is "lose" and "loose" used in the wrong way.

A person doesn't loose weight. A person loses weight.

Did she loose weight? , is incorrect.
Did she lose weight? , is correct.

These two words are so widely misused these days, I wonder if someone set out to get the words changed in the dictionary.
People from all levels of education and all walks of life, etc. are mixing up these words. Why???

When it comes to the use of lose or loose I have to think about it because I think I have been guilty in the past and used loose when I should have used lose. I now use lost and moose to help me remember.

"at"....as in "where's it at?" "Where is it?" The "at" is useless, unnecessary and hurts my ears.

When we said that as kids, Mama use to say "between the "A" and the "T" every single time we said it.. We soon learned to leave "at" off of the sentence.
