Secht? Elf?

Secht? Elf?

Sieben? Your "sehm" looked like "sehr". And "elehm" just looked German because I feel like the Germans love to throw letters around all willy nilly - especially h's I've never seen Ebonics spelled out either.

Drive by posting which (I'm sure) has been mentioned.

"Apart" means you're actually detached or removed from something.

"A part" means you're connected or inclusive in a group, state or body.

People need to stop tweeting about how "blessed they are to be apart of this team." Either you're seeking a degree in sarcasm or you're illiterate.

That is all.

Seeing this one very frequently lately--ugh.

Got really irked last night at the stunt group named "Perserverance." It's "Perseverance," y'all.

I'm also not a ly-berry-an.


The worst part is I've had numerous coworkers...albeit not librarians, that pronounce library as ly-berry and its other incorrect variations. Like you work here. The LEAST you can do is pronounce it correctly

We had a receptionist who was incapable of pronouncing "advocacy" properly. It was "advocy." Dang, lady, the word is the name of our biz and it's what we do, for Lord's sake.

Defiantly and definitely. Use the correct one please.

 

[CheerBank]

Defiantly and definitely. Use the correct one please.

I always think that is just a misspelling rather than actual incorrect usage. Only because I know I have done that and I definitely know the difference . But that is what spell check is for after all...
