<p>We definitely need the grammer police again.</p>
<p>I loved that thread. Did you actually search? :o</p>
<p>The menu bar, blue line “Search,” then “advance search.” “Key Word”
then “posts” at bottom of screen.</p>
<p>
Was that deliberate?</p>
<p>Wow, 250 with “rediculous.”</p>
<p>thisyearsgirl - </p>
<p>uh oh, busted! :p</p>
<p>I couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>Well, this inspired me to search for “grammer.” 246 posts.
Also 78 posts with “ad nauseum.” (nausea, nausea, nauseam, nausea, nausea).</p>
<p>marite, my 10th grade English teacher spelled it “ad nauseum”, too. ::facepalm::</p>
<p>edit: Wait, no, with him it was “ad hominum”. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I believe we have morphed into Spelling Police territory.</p>
<p>We will leave no stone unturned.</p>
<p>Look, grammer is definately important, but I’d appreciate it if you all would refrain from rediculous ad hominums over the fact that I use “ad nauseum” ad nauseam.
Thank you.</p>
<p>What about my personal favorite: alot </p>
<p>:eek:</p>
<p>OMG, I just did the search and it came up 500. I’m betting that 500 is as high as the search function will let you go. Which means definately and alot are probably higher. sigh. ;)</p>
<p><em>joins grammar Nazi comrades</em></p>
<p>neccessary- 108 posts
shoe in- 190 posts
congradulations- 129 posts
miniscule- 220 posts
dissapointed- 292 posts</p>
<p>:eek:</p>
<p>probably alot higher, DDM. </p>
<p>Miniscule is actually OK, I think…a variant, and a minuscule problem compared to some of the others, IMO.</p>
<p>Between you and I, I am pretty sure that, its just hopeless. At this point in time, I just don’t think that people, like, care. I just don’t think we can get people to make less grammar and spelling mistakes irregardless of our efforts. But virtue is it’s own reward, so we can basque in the glory of our own correct utilization.</p>
<p>jmmom I’m not going their.</p>
<p>jmmom - Ouch! you cot my earlier mispelling in an other thread! Must of been thinking of Paris burning!</p>
<p>must of…or could of</p>
<p>I’ve noticed that my colleagues have taken to talking about “going forward” as in “our policy, going forward…” Strange, I never noticed before that we were going backward. :(<br>
As for correct utilization, it needs to be operationalized, after we have defined the parameters of the study and finished strategizing. After this, everyday language will be impacted to such an extent that it will be unrecognizable.</p>
<p>I don’t know why I’m even posting on this thread! My first job interview after college, straight out of Oklahoma, I mentioned that I was “fixin’ to” move! Couldn’t figure out what I said that was so funny!
I’m whey over my head!</p>
