[…] I can say misjudgement not out of pedantry ( is that the correct word??) but simply because my ear knows right from wrong. I can’t help it. It’s not an achievement, it’s just innate, like a sense of smell. It’s sprachgefühl. […]

Nephew Wolf – “misspoke” is ruined now, having become a euphemism for lying.

nikw -If only Mrs. P. would drop by and scold us for sitting around in our pjs, in our parents’ basement!

sam – UGH! “space” is one of my most-hated of all words, in its current usage. What could be more pretentious???

Mark – “Piece” is like a knife in my heart. A clerk who uses it should be slapped in the face. I’m not happy with fucktard either. Why use it, when we have perfectly good words like douche, tool, moron, etc etc?

Here’s a few:

Any sentence beginning with, “In today’s marketplace…”

‘Expresso.’

‘Piece,’ like when you pick up a Junya Watanabe jacket in the store and the self-important clerk says, “That’s one of my favorite pieces from the season.”

I don’t like ‘Fucktarded,’ either.

AM–How does one pronounce the ye olde word for ‘cunt?’

For me its ‘space’ instead of room or area
‘awesome!’ when I serve a customer at the till
and ANY management speak……talk normally you freaks!

nephew wolf- so well spoken. yes i agree with you about 20…i only have a problem with it on set because i know its origins, so i know that no one may actually die if we don’t know the 20 of the director. although some days, i’m not so sure….

Nick Harcourt is a fucking cunt. I think he’s still pissed he didn’t make it past the first round of Duran Duran auditions back in ’80.

My word snob soapboxes:
1. It’s a sandwich, not a samwich.
2. Vice versa, not visa versa
3. Inappropriate use of apostrophe’s – like that thar

Oh, and what’s wrong with “misspoke”? Misspeak is a very old and perfectly legitimate word whose meaning has shifted over the centuries (from “speak insultingly” to “speak unclearly or incorrectly”), although its use as a euphemism for “tell a baldfaced lie” is probably improper.
