kerwinray Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 This is my biggest pet peeve. I can forgive "your/you're" or "its/it's", but this. I cannot even. Quote Link to comment
StarGazer Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 What gets to me is, you know, when, you know, people say, you know, "you know, every other, you know, word in a, you know, conversation. I can't follow what they're saying because I'm anticipating/flinching at the next you know. You know? This. And umm when people umm say umm "umm" all the umm time. I was watching a video from an old (last year) championship ultimate frisbee game last night and the commentators BOTH kept saying "Umm" or "uh" so much so that I was frequently yelling at them for their excessive an unnecessary use of the word. It drove me crazy, I was fuming by the end! Quote Link to comment

I-Jo Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 whatever the two teams were- I don't know I don't remember. I don't do basketball. Maybe the 76ers?? I seriously don't know. They DO basketball- I do not on the other hand-(basketball is rubbish- and it's only a step above baseball so yeah I don't know) go ahead and pick another team and substitute it right on it LOL Quote Link to comment

MrsAMcGrath Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 apparently it is very difficult. I actually said it one time to a kid- I was at a bar/resturant- and he was using the phone of the gentleman to my right's... and he just kept saying where you be at where you be where you be at. I didn't handle it well- I waited until he ended his phone call and I turned around and said- it's "where are you" not "where you be at" needless to say he didn't appreciate my help... but drunk Jo didn't care. Drunk Jo is a stickler for proper grammar. This is awesome - I wish upon wish upon wish that I could do that haha. Reminds me of the time I was on a plane with a kid who kept screaming and kicking my seat ... what about the mother you ask? Didn't give a shit. I turned to my dude and said "if she doesn't parent her kids in about 5 seconds I'm gonna show her a thing or two about it ... I don't even care if we don't have kids." He wasn't impressed. Whatever. Sometimes people need more help than they're aware of. Quote "Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts -- it's what you do with what you have left." - Hubert H.

I-Jo Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I say it.... But it's a long running joke among a certain circle of friends. A particular contractor RE ALWAYS said the strangest things- 'pacific being one of them. or "you really gotta hold a man's feet against the wall" so yeah- we say 'pacific- but we say it in a funny ass accent along with it.

Jia Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Can't believe it hasn't been said, considering it's a fitness forum: It's "BREATHE". Not "BREATH". Yes, you can be out of breath, have bad breath, etc. I'm talking about people who misspell "breathe". I see this all the time: "It was hard to breath after my workout", "I forget to breath out when I'm lifting weights", etc. Arrrrrrrgh! I've seen it so many times, sometimes in actual fitness articles, that I had to double check the dictionary to see if it was an acceptable spelling alternative. It's not. Quote Link to comment
