    There is one thing my friend and neighbor says without noticing. She puts the word exactly and actually together to make exactually. What is that? It makes me so crazy!

    Journey. Anybody who says the word Journey and doesn't bust into song deserves to be kicked in the head.

    I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. Don't hate.

    Also, when people mess up common phrases (especially if the people are native English speakers), such as "taken for granite" instead of "taken for granted". Or awe when they mean aw, or ewe when they mean ew. These are entirely different words, people. :grumble:

    A couple I've read or heard lately are "sop and wet" instead of sopping wet and "whoa as me" instead of woe is me. :laugh:

    :sick: Noooooo....why??
