suggestions?

i know we have a few readers out there who have the same weird neuroses that we do.  having said that, i am opening the blog up for suggestions.  such as, what bothers you that people do (as in speak/write/etc.) regularly?  for example, when i lived in cache valley, i noticed that a lot of people conjugate improperly.  e.g.,  "we was just over there yesterday." or, "oh, sure, i seen him running across the street!"  whenever i hear crap like that, it feels as though someone is stabbing me in my ear, which is not a good feeling.  believe me, i know.

there is only ONE, minute, tiny thing you cannot suggest, and that is the use of capitalization on this (or our other) blog(s).  on my part, it's just pure laziness.  i know the rules of capitalization.  i even know the rules of capitalizing newspaper headlines (which is weird, because when i was on newspaper staff in high school, i wasn't a writer - just a lowly photog).

so, let's have it.  you tell us what's bothering you about the general use (or MISuse, rather) of the english language.  we'll do a little research and either concur with you or set everyone straight.  how does that sound?

comment away!  or you may send your complaints and/or suggestions via email.  we love both.

"Awholenother" is not a word.

Definitely is not spelled "definately"!

Oh...the list goes on and on.
