People Who Say “Supposably” Should Be Dangled by their Misshapen Participles

It's a doggie-dog world, OP.

A coworker always says "idear" for idea.

He's from "Minnysoda," so we consider him our Special Needs employee.

One of my favorites - Wipe that smurf of your face!

Birfday.

Some douche on another thread typed "if you get my grip."

It's "gist," a word s/he's never used.

A woman once said to me “Let’s pick a restaurant and go. I am ravaged!” I replied that she shouldn’t be so hard on herself.

Well, it's all really a mute point.

Same with people who say/write suppose to or use to.

Irregardless, OP, if you think people will change, you have another thing coming. So just tow the line before your brain literally explodes.

Wha' shtreet you live on?

Never heard OPs word, but prolly makes ill.

And a boss that said we need to work 24/7, 5 days a week. He didn't last.

I don’t know which one’s worst: bacon or German sausage.

I had went on Datalounge to find out if artists like Madonna and Janet were being discussed again.

Their used to be lot’s of smart people here.

People who say "practical," when it should be, "practicable" piss me off more than blobfish.

Misuse of the reflexive pronoun "myself" is enough for me to immediately dismiss a person's intelligence and authority.

Let me axe you something

The moron’s on this site effect me lot’s with there post’s.

The tailor alterated my new suit.

Whose packing there lunch’s this week?

R12 I once had a LANGUAGE ARTS teacher, of all people, who said irregardless. I shit you not.

I once had someone at a pet store use the word "opinionation" while giving me fish tank advice.

It's probly true!

A woman at my job said she was going to a "Christianing."

People who think the sidewalk and the road are "the floor."

I would of went to see her.

I just head a sports journalist on FS1 call Lebron James's game "transcendental."

And yes, OP when someone says supposably they go right into my invisible trash can. The incorrect usage of the pronoun 'I because they think it sounds more intelligent than "me" is my second grammar punch and delete qualifier. The stringent spelling and grammar standards are what I like best about DL. This is the only site I am aware of on which incorrect grammar is not tolerated or excused.

You speak well and I speak weller.

I know so many hotties who message, "could of", on Grindr.

He was probably going to say something homophobic.

A woman asked "Where do you stay?" Told her I don't "stay" anywhere, I "live" in Brooklyn.

Anyways, this is all besides the point.

People who put commas, in where they don't, belong piss me off almost, as much as people who can't spell "loser."

Ebonics, I think.

I watched Ethan from Le Creuset on QVC last night. For some reason, he kept pronouncing it "LAY Creuset" instead of LUH Creuset." I wanted to call him up and say "Putain, chien," but I was afraid I'd end up buying a French oven I don't need.

OP = Chandler Bing

Is there ever any reason to use "forwards" instead of "forward"?

Sometimes that's correct, r41.

I'm taking composition and elocution classes so I can talk more better.

Point in case: the word "irregardless".

They're just conversating, OP, no big dig.

Irregardless and orientated seem to be used in GB quite a bit now. Is this one of those things where the grammar powers that be just gave up and okayed those words as acceptable?

Valentimes Day

Bill Cosby did his doctorial studies in education.

Grrrr it makes me so mad I almost rent my kaftan in twain.

My favorite jondra of movies is super hero/action.

Her and I’s cab is here.... !

I have no ideal.

R33, that use of “stay” is fairly standard Black vernacular English. But you left out the preposition “at.” It’s more typically: “Where you stay at?”

If you consider that many of its users have more volatile living conditions, resulting in frequent moves and temporary housing, the use of stay actually makes a lot of sense.

How about people who “conversate” over dinner. 😐

They conversate at places where they stay at.

Her place was unorganized. She should of know better.

A real estate agent from another country told me the house was recently "remodelated."

Make sure that spaghetti is all denty.

I'm from a third world country but my family speaks English. However, because of some translation quirk, every single cousin etc, says "I didn't wanted to do that", or, "why did he marry that girl when he didn't wanted to marry her". "I did not like the pink and didn't wanted it, so I bought the blue". I just stay quiet so I don't get told "what?? did you thinked that you're American???"(Last one is a joke).

Let's give a shout-out to "Irregardless! Yaasssss!

Compared to most of the grammatical errors enumerate here, mispronouncing the word " crepes " is excusable.

We’re Americans here. Say “among” and not “amongst”. Blimey!

Hear all the time now: “I got tickets for Hank and I.”

Keep me appraised of the situation.

Worse thread ever! Prolly started by a women who has never one anything in her life. Your boring OP!

Alls ya have to do is....

Well, a preposition at the end of a sentence truly signals your poor education like a neon sign, regardless of race.

If we are talking Ebonic generalization, it's an omission which bothers me most.

"What he do?" "Where he go?" "Where my lunch?" "Who her baby daddy?' I can truly say that I have never once heard a white person say those things. That is not to say that whites don't have abominable grammar...they do. But it's different abominable grammar.

What is wrong with differentiating dialectic speaking? Cajun Louisianans speaks so strangely outsiders have difficulty understanding them. There are areas of the Easter Shore of Virginia which practically have their own language. I think it's kind of cool.

From the Daily Mail today:

"The 39-year-old was allegedly kept in a holding cell for hours as she explained between tears that her religion forbids her from removing her hijab in front of men who aren't in her intimidate family."

I would take these petty grammar issues of native English speakers ANY day of the week over the many recent immigrants I encounter in shops, whom I have incredible difficulty communicating with.

And I don’t care about intent and effort, I care about practicality.

[quote]Well, a preposition at the end of a sentence truly signals your poor education like a neon sign, regardless of race.

Not really. You should prolly catch up on your grammar rules--they’ve changed since the late 80s. That “No preposition at the end of a sentence” shit is played out. Straight up antiquated--regardless of your race.

Also, I'll let you in on a secret...you come across 10 times more of an asshole than people who routinely use bad grammar.

From Page Six today:

"Eva Longoria selling home ahead of baby."

Maybe she should sell the baby first.

R102 I prefer it that way,

I am a rich and successful asshole. I credit my grammar and education in no small part for enabling my success. It actually does matter.

Girl’s, girl’s, let’s leave the racist and political shit out of this thread. Theirs’ two much fun to be had in mocking illiteracy!

That begs the question, why do people do that.

Both of the above drive me fucking crazy.

Not a grammar issue but ceiling and roof are different, albeit related, parts of a building.

R100 There is nothing in the Quran that requires head or full-body covering. The Quran simply refers to "modesty."

A Christian in Florida who converted to Islam, refused to remove her head covering for a Driver License photo. They denied the license, she had the photo taken full face. Same rule applies to Nuns, no photo wearing a habit. Men are not allowed to wear hats for licenses or Passport pix.

"Orientate." No, fuckwad, it's [italic]orient.[/italic] You go to orientation, but you orient yourself to something.

People who write "wala" for [italic]voila.[/italic] This is happening more and more.

"Realtor" pronounced "real-uh-tur." No, it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled, with two syllables.

Are people EVER going to say "twenty-eighteen" for the date, or are we doomed to a century of saying "two-thousand whatever?" I mean, doesn't "two-thousand twenty" sound way more complicated than "twenty-twenty?" It seems to be going the other way, too. The other morning I heard an LA TV newscaster refer to something that had happened in "nineteen-hundred and fifty nine."

I still tend to say "two-thousand whatever" out of habit, r132. For me, it just rolls off the tongue. I've been trying to say "twenty-whatever" for any year past 2010, but I just keep reverting to how I've been saying it since the year 2000. However, I've noticed that plenty of other people are saying it your way, especially young people, so it'll probably become the standard within the next twenty years.

I wonder the same thing R132 and R133. I can totally fellate.

People who write "$12 dollars" or whatever the amount is. NO!! It's either $12 or 12 dollars, but not both.

4 pm in the afternoon. NO!! It's either 4 pm or 4 in the afternoon, but not both.

The word is pronounced (and spelled) caramel (three syllables), NOT carmel.

The magazine is called The New Yorker, not the New Yorker. I'm astonished how often I see this misused in books and memoirs.

Caroline Kennedy's campaign to claim Hillary Clinton's Senate seat has taken another downturn after an interview in which she said "you know" 142 times.

Anyone who says like, you know, nomesayin, or yafeelme after every statement should wear a shock collar until they stop.

I said archive the other day and a co-worker asked me how to spell it because she didn't recognize the word. So I did and she said oh I thought it was pronounced, "are chiv veee". It's been stuck in my head for weeks and I want to fucking kill the bitch.

R149 lol the best is when they fight you when you correct them. I had a friend tell me that my horoscope said I would go on a wild and unexpected “rondavius”. I thought about it for a minute, confused, and then realized she meant rendezvous. I laughed for days over that one.

I never did get my rondavius. 😭

A friend says "I just got home from work and I'm dishausted."

He also says "right off the back" instead of "bat."

He's a little slow. I never correct him and try not to laugh.

When I was a teen my father broke me of the "you know" habit by saying "no I don't" each time.

[quote]I saw a filum at the movie house,

That's actually an Irish thing, for which I am guilty. We have issues with --lm words. e.g., Colm is pronounced Collum. I also have trouble with th words. I say tird for third, etc. Also, you probably won't hear me answer a question with yes or no.

My father used to joke about, and imitate, the owner of his favorite Greek restaurant saying "SREEMPS!" for shrimp.

Nucular still bothers me.

I've heard many people say "Old Timers" or "All Timers" for Alzheimer's.

Its the worse!

"Flustrate," which I've heard more than one Midwesterner say. I'd say it was a clever portmanteau of [italic]fluster[/italic] and [italic]frustrate,[/italic] but I'm pretty sure it's because the speakers of this word are just too stupid to know they're wrong.

R119, I would love to conversate with you further!

Though I have never come "acrossed" these in written form, they irk me nonetheless: "Fur-togra-fur" ""Fuss-trate" "Hom-a-sexual" "Sick-chiatryst" "Eem" rather than him "Roth-Iron"

Sumpin'** really got me the other night..

I was listening to "Coast To Coast AM" (yeah, yeah, you too, buddy!) while I was brushing my teeth and George Noory, his guest, and a caller were all using the far-too-common mispronunciation of "nuclear". You know the one..I'm brushing away, and they just kept saying it, over and over. I finally chucked the brush at the radio in exasperation. Grrr!

**I know a "fambly" that persist in using this term. Every last one of them. It's not a regionalism either.

people (usually millenial women) who pronounce words like "button" as "buh-en".

As an Aussie, I've never heard of about 95% of these. I don't mind words that are pronounced differently due to accent (i.e. US say "ligh-brah-ree", Aussies say "Ligh-bree" for library). I hate "prolly" instead of "probably", especially in the written form. I hate people who capitalise every single letter of the sentence. I hate people who say "should of" instead of "should've". I hate "alot".

I hate when Europeans (French usually) say "medium menu" instead of "medium meal" at Mcdonalds/fast food.

My two current pet peeves:

People who "based off of" instead of "based on" ("The movie was based off of the book.")

People who use "bias" as the adjective, dropping the "ed." ("He is so bias!" "The media are bias.")

R175 Thank you for reminding me of another pet peeve of mine, only detected amongst Canadian English speakers: seared "off", cooked "off", baked "off", grilled "off", browned "off", sautéed "off".... Etc. Off of what really? Seems like a useless and needless dangling preposition. In my understanding of my native language, a bake off or a cook off meant a competition of sorts, or a contest. Thus far residing in the states, it does appear to be a Canadianism. Any Americans who have heard otherwise, please feel free to chime in. No offense Canadians, I love you all.

I worked with a diabetic old man who took "antibodies" when he'd get an infection.

A college friend would say "flustrated" because she had grown up hearing her mom say it. I thought it was silly and made up, and I teased her, but before I got too English-major-obnoxious, I looked it up in an old dictionary of mine and found that it was, indeed, a word. I apologized.

Of the many reasons there are to think Jenna Bush Hager is a dope, topping my list is the fact that she was an English major at UT Austin, presents herself as though she worked as a teacher (18 months as a teacher's aide), and is the daughter of a teacher/librarian, yet says things like "supposably" and "a hunnert." Argh! I have to mute the TV when she's speaking.

I hear "off" a lot on American cooking shows, but it's usually to do with baking. "We need to bake those cupcakes off now! Get them in the oven!"

We also have the Jazzy Vegetarian who — when she's not singing about ingredients, scatting, or bringing the vegan cuisine of 1972 to a new generation — uses "out" at least three times per show. "Line out the baking sheet with parchment." "I'm going to garnish out the mousse with a single chocolate chip." "Make sure the casserole dish is greased out well."

Thx for sharing R178.... I watch many US cooking shows, but never noticed. Sometimes we Brits will follow cooking verbs with "up"... i.e. Cook them up, or bake them up. The Jazzy Vegetarian is simply the WORST ever! I would even feed captive enemies better!

Did you hear that Cher has a new alblum?

"My company is New York-based." Based is a wasted word. It's a given that companies serve areas beyond their hometown. '

I suppose it does a lot of the time. But...let’s not pretend this thread is some kind of educational tool in how to be a successful, well-rounded person. When we ALL know it’s just a bunch of bougie, old, predominately-white queens making fun of the way urban people speak.

In fact, I’d actually have a modicum of respect for your elitist asses if you had named this thread “Let’s make fun of how poor people NEVER use proper grammar.”

R182 is proceeding under the misconception that anyone actually gives a fuck about this opinions.

R182 Though I admire your respect for the poor, the less fortunate, and the uneducated; we really are not guilty here of picking on any of them specifically. Many of the posters here are pointing out regionalisms, slang, and foolish mistakes educated people often make. I honestly only read a few that seemed to target urban folks specifically. Many colloquialisms here are actually quite popular amongst country or suburban people to be more specific. I have been targeted by grammar trolls here numerous times, and have stated it can be overbearing.. I am educated, bilingual, and obviously not perfect. What this thread does is point up silly mistakes that really bother MOST people because of how OBVIOUSLY wrong they are. You seriously shouldn't take umbrage with it. Rich upper-class twits have been taken to task here too. e.g. Jenna Bush Hagar, and those who feel badly.

r176 r178 "Baked off" is chef school terminology, indicating an item on the list is completed. Just to say "baked" would only indicate the type of cooking, not whether the task/item had been completed. And in this usage, "off" is an adverb, not a preposition.

[quote]I credit my grammar and education in no small part for enabling my success. It actually does matter.

If they were that creditable, you would have written "They actually do matter."

On a Canadian real estate show the agent said "we're leaving out," He should have left out "out.".

Thanks for the explanation R185. The "off" still sounds oddly wrong and a bit off to my ear though. My mum is a Cordon Bleu graduate and former chef. She never adds the "off". We are British though, and one does not hear this in London.

Maybe it's American, r188. The first person I heard use it went to CIA or Johnson & Wales.

I don't like it, either, btw, r188.

Glad others here are in agreement R190. I find it a redundancy. Shouldn't we all strive to be concise in our language, if not for style? When the "off" is added as past tense in R185's explanation, it sounds quite logical; like checking a task off a list. However, when one on a cooking show says "we are going to sear these off." or "let's sear these off", it sounds dreadful.

Lead is a heavy metal with atomic number 82.

If you used to lead a group, you could say you led it.

A friend once wrote that she had run “the full gambit of emotions.” I staged an intervention.

Dived is the past tense of dive, not dove. East to remember, Dove is a soap and wonderful chocolate.

Snuck for sneaked.

Regiment for regimen. Amazing how many people fuck that up.

When did it become okay to pronounce often as off-ten? It drives me up the wall! The t is silent, but I know this battle has been lost. The same with people pronouncing every consonant in February, arctic, and Antarctica. The r is silent in February and the c is silent in the other two. And the first t in Antarctica is also silent.

My name is Jean Harlow, the T is silent.

R199, surely you jest.

My Israeli ex had a funny way of turning words around, like "towel paper" and "walkside."

R195 /OP

Was the gambit from A to B? I take it that your friend doesn't wear glasses.

You've lost me, R199. Is there a riddle in that somewhere?

Your statement is irrevelant.

Good question, r204. I'm on tender hooks waiting to find out!

[bold] I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE CRITICIZING GRAMMAR PUSSIES !

OR IS THAT PUSSYS !

OP, you really should come up from the basement, and into the daylight.

There's absolutely nothing to criticize about grammar pussys, r206. I love them!

R201 — I have a French-Canadian friend from Montreal who often puts words in reverse order. My favorite is "paper toilets," as in, "you can buy paper toilets for really cheap at Costco."

Helpful hint: If you want to refer to something as having pus, you do NOT say it is "pussy," because, of course, that spells pussy, even though you want it to rhyme with "fussy" in this instance. Oh, what to do!?

Easy. Just use the correct medical term: [italic]purulent,[/italic] as in, "that wound looks purulent." I figured this out for myself after seeing the medical column headline in my local newspaper, "Pussy Lesion Is Cause For Woman's Concern."

[italic]Purulent.[/italic] Your word for the day.

My purulent lesion stinks!

He sounds hot, r209.

r198 please tell me that you don't actually pronounce "Antarctica" as "An-ar-i-ca". It's pronounced exactly as it's spelled. All letters are pronounced.

Have you noticed people who drop the "T' in words like center?

Supposably I have old timer’s, and now have to take many pill’s every day. You probably covered old timer’s already; I just cant’ wreck collect.

When I was eight I latched onto the word "broughten." (As in [italic]"I wish I'd broughten my book.")[/italic]

It just sounded right. No one agreed.

R186 Nice try.

When saying, "It does really matter." IT is the understood [html removed]>> and the pronoun[html removed]> applies correctly.

I always thank anyone here, not in this thread per se, but on DL in general, who corrects a genuine mistake I have made. Why get huffy? It will only serve me well to know what I am doing incorrectly. But your example is a fail.

One thing that's always grated on me is seeing the spelling "theatre" instead of "theater" here in the U.S.

I know it's an option, but it always makes me feel like I'm suddenly prancing down the [italic]Champs-Élysées,[/italic] and I hear "tee-AT-re" in my head.

Well that didn't work....

[quote] Doctor Ben Casey, MD. He's Doctor or MD, but not both,[/quote]

That’s not true, [R139]. While Dr. Ben Casey is indeed a doctor, the MD indicates what type of doctorate he has. Dr. Ben Casey, PhD; Dr. Ben Casey, DO; Dr. Ben Casey, DDS, etc.

My pet peeve is the incorrect use of punctuation with quotation marks. Almost always, the punctuation goes [i]inside[/i] the quotation marks. It irritates me when I see someone write, Jim Bob said, “I don’t want to wear that”. Aaaaargh.

Other pet peeves: My brother has the diabeets and we had to call the amberlamps the other day.

I borrowed my friend some money, I hope he pays me back. (Or worse, ‘lended’ him.)

LET THE STATES DECIDE!

I have a friend who says, "This place is starting to look like Tobacco Row!" I do not point out that it is actually TOBACCO ROAD.

Which is maybe good, because I finally looked it up, and Tobacco Row is actually an area of warehouses in Virginia. So, maybe we're both right?

"He sounds hot, [R209]."

My French-Canadian friend IS hot, R212. Unfortunately for me, he's also straight.

Last evening, on one of those channels that show old movies, the announcer said that, coming up next is The Anderson Tapes, starring Sean Connery and directed by Sidney Lu-MAY. I think it was the same bimbo who talked about a new bi-opic instead of bio-pic

From decades ago, WCAX TV, CBS, in Burlington, Vermont , the announcer for the late movie said, "starring CAPOSHIN" ...meaning Capucine.

R213 I say An ar tic cah. I don't say Ant arc tic cah. It's a mouthful and sounds bad. Some consonants are silent. Like in often. I say offen.
