Pet peeves on words
Do you have a phrase or a word that you absolutely wince when you see or hear it?
I have to grit my teeth everytime I hear that something is "so gay." I find it to be a bigoted, stereotyping, nasty phrase. My daughter and her friends learned very quickly to not say it around me.
The other is a simple misspelling that drives me batty. PRIVILEGE does not have a d in it. Every time I see this, I want to PM the poor person and give them spelling lessons but that would be rather rude and arrogant, wouldn't it?
So, what drives you batty?
