a little slack.

as i was watching barack obama's victory speech in south carolina last night, i noticed that, at one point (in the very beginning of the speech), obama said, "TUH" instead of "TO".  i was a little bit surprised because, generally, i have been impressed with his eloquence.  this just brought to my attention that even the best of us can flub at times.  

now that i have gotten that off my chest, i will address a few other things that have been brought to my attention.  when i asked for suggestions about what bothers you about people's grammatical, speaking, spelling errors in general, i only got one response. apparently, our dear friends (and now i really do think that we have only 5 - or less - loyal readers) aren't as particular about the misuse of the english language as rachelle and chloe and i can be. speaking of, chloe pointed out a couple of her peeves. they are as such: "'Awholenother' is not a word. Definitely is not spelled 'definately'!"

and add to that a couple of mine:
-the further/farther dilemma.
-when you go to bed, you LIE down. you don't LAY down. you do LAY the spoon next to the knife, though.
-pronouncing FOR as FER. i catch myself doing this one all the time.
-"she and me" vs. "she and i" vs. "her and me" vs. "her and i".  such a problem for about 96% of the english speaking world.  not so much for me.
-"can i" vs. "may i"?  come on, we all know better!
-anyways. this, technically, is NOT a proper word. but i just looked it up, and this is what i got: "informal or dialect form of anyway : : you wouldn't understand all them long words anyways." exactly.

well, that is all for now.  don't be afraid to talk to me, though, because i mess up just as much as the next guy.  kind of like senator obama.
