elfanie 0 #31 January 2, 2004 I think the most irritating phrase (and I hear it a LOT) is "I could care less..." No...the phrase is supposed to be "I couldn't care less" If you could care less..that means YOU CARE!! duh! -------------------------------------------- Elfanie My Skydiving Page Fly Safe - Soft Landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canopycandy 0 #33 January 2, 2004 Eh. "Metrosexual" isn't bad, but I prefer the term "stray." (A combo of straight and gay.) I'd like to add "think outside the box" to that list of irritating phrases. Also, my boyfriend typically breaks awkward silences by saying, "Good clean fun for everyone." It's the only thing about him that drives me absolutely nuts. (Well, that and the fact that he misuses the word "irony" almost constantly.) However, no phrase could ever irritate me as much as reading poor grammar and punctuation. In fact, I've thought about starting a grammar thread on this Web site. My biggest pet peeves are: * Accept/except -- "Except" excludes things, but "accept" doesn't. For example, I would gladly accept that free jump ticket, except if it's for a hop-and-pop. * Advice/advise -- "Advice" is the noun, "advise" is the verb. I can give you advice on hook turns, but I would advise you to be careful. * Affect/effect -- When you affect something, you have an effect on it. Tunnel time can affect my belly skills. That will have a huge effect on my skydiving. * Alot -- This word doesn't exist. You don't skydive "alittle," do you? You don't do it "alot" either. It's two words. A lot. * Everyday/every day -- "Everyday" should only be used as an adjective. For example, I wish my freefly pants were part of my everyday clothes. And if I could, I would skydive every day. * Expresso -- You drink "espresso" before you skydive, not "expresso." It's not fast coffee. * Literally -- Use it only to distinguish between the literal and figurative meaning. For example, you didn't literally explode into the relative work scene ... unless you threw a stick of dynamite at some skydivers. * Then/than -- "Then" is used for time, "than" is for comparisons. For example, I told him I can sit dive better than him. Then I kicked ass and took names. * They're/their/there -- "They're" is always a contraction of "they are." (They're going to swoop the pond today.) "Their" is a possessive pronoun. (That's their sweet new rig.) Every other occasion calls for "there." (There goes the bad skydiver. Oops. He didn't pull. He will bounce right there.) And my top pet peeve: * You're/your -- "You're" is always a contraction of "you are." You're going skydiving with your rig. I understand how some mistakes are common for those who have learned English as a second language, but for native tongues, shame on you. I can't help it that I am this way. Being Conan the Grammarian is my cross to bear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfrese 0 #42 January 2, 2004 Just for giggles, I asked three interns who worked for me last year (all sophomores in college, all native English speakers, all engineering students with 3.1 or higher overall GPAs) to write the following sentence, which I read to them: "They're over there, by their car". None of them got it right. Fortunately, I didn't have them writing any documentation or procedures.

jumpergirl 0 #46 January 2, 2004 I didn't see the ones that irritate me the most!! On the top of my list is "It's all good." I can't stand hearing that for some reason... and Travis says it ALL the time. Then there is "Back in the day..." And I can't forget "Right on." I think that should have stayed in the 80s.

canopycandy 0 #50 January 2, 2004 Speaking of "fo' shizzle my nizzle," have you ever read urbandictionary.com? It's actually a good idea -- the whole "define your world" kind of thing. It's gotten a little cluttered lately. But if you take time to wade through some of the words, the slang can be informative and interesting. A lot of it is funny, too.
