In pronunciation, have you ever noticed how many "educated" people say "ek-cetera" instead of "et-cetera," and "nook-u-ler" instead of nu-clear?" It's a wonderment. L.W. Guilty 😬. I can write pretty well if I choose to. But I can’t speak worth a damn. It’s a TX “thang”. 🤠 You come by it honest. Some of your famous Texans by way of Connecticut, not so much...

Another mistake that no shooter should ever make is calling a 3-9X40 scope a 3X9X40 scope. There is a huge difference between the meaning when a "-" is used instead of an "X" between the numbers. See 'Boomer? I tolt you it was aggavating.

And from 2013 there's the infamous NY SAFE Act written by "well educated" "professional" lawmakers who, even in those pre-AOC days were proving that even the most ignorant NY City morons can be elected to positions of great power without so much as even a literacy test ( or drug test ). When they listed all the horrible things that make up a semi-automatic "assault rifle"; one of those evil features was a "muzzle break".....

All to say, I consider this a conservation with friends. Conservation, or consummation? I see red when I hear someone say, ”conversate.” What a stupid illiterate misuse of converse. Pretty much every time I hear it is ebonic.

Heard Fire Ball Mail by Roy Acuff this morning at breakfast. He was distinctly singing, “Far Ball Mail.”

Another is dilemma. Some put an "n" in there when saying it and writing it. There's so many dumbazzes using these non-words that Webster finally threw up their hands and included them in the dictionary. Stupid fuggers finally won. Now we have to live with it....

Eye don't worry about my spell Czech having too correct me when eye misuse words. Yew sea;, eye kin properly use grammatical words and phrases sew good that there's no knead for that. Yew kin dew it two if yew wood jest give it a try. Two old friends, one a Czechoslovakian and the other Jewish, decide one sunny Sunday afternoon to go to the zoo. While walking around the old Czechoslovakian gets hungry and buys a hamburger from the concession stand. After a few bites he decides he's had enough and as they pass the lions cage he draws back to throw it in. The old Jew says, "Don't feed the animals, you Schmuck! Can't you read?" "Awe, what could it hurt? They're meat eaters." "No! You Putz!" So he walks over and reaches in to hand it to a lion and the lion grabs him, drags him in through the bars, and eats him up all gone. The Jew freaks out. Running around screaming in Yiddish. Zoo keeper hears the commotion and comes to check it out. The old Jew tells him the story and the zoo keep looks at him skeptically. He says okay and gets his gun. "Which lion was it?" he asks. "That one. The one with the big fur around the head." "The big male?" "Yeah, that's the one." So the zoo keeper shoulders his rifle and shoots it then drags it out and cuts it open. Nothing. Empty stomach. He gives the old Jew the stink eye and says, "well?!?" "It must have been that one. Yeah, that's the one!" "The female?" "Yeah, definitely the female." So he shoots that one and cuts it open and sure enough, there's the old Czechoslovakian all chewed up inside there. You know moral of the story? If a Jew ever tells you the Czech is in the male, don't believe him.

When do you use lie or lay to indicate reclining? Is an object lying there or laying? This afternoon had I lain down for a nap or lied down? If someone is bedridden and ill is he laid up lying up?
I worked with a boat captain that made up a good word, "irrigant" to indicate a state of mind that was both irritable and arrogant.
