The problem is that ...Irregardless...nucular...smh.<br />The problem is that most people think they're saying the words right that it becomes accepted by the populace. And lo and behold, those same words, due to its popular usage, ends up being added to the dictionary.

Alison, oh gosh, I too am affected by the same. And Cordia, as always, I appreciate your appreciation...

This post is spot on, Elizabeth... not to men...Yes! This post is spot on, Elizabeth... not to mention <i>hilarious</i>.<br /><br />My current bugaboos are <i>loose</i> vs. <i>lose</i> ("I need to loose weight." "My dog got lose this morning.")<br /><br />Then there's the ever-frustrating mispronunciation of <i>nuclear</i> as <i>nucular</i> (a la both George W. Bush <i>and</i> my darling husband. Then again, there are some things you can overlook in an otherwise-delightful mate).<br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to spout off.Rita M.
