Some of us got hit with too many concussion grenades during WW1.

I didn't know that. That is the kind of question that might be asked at the pearly gates to determine if you go up or down.

One interpretation would be that they aren't really "good friends" if they treat you that way. Just saying....

So familiar....Where have I heard that expression before?

“Looky here, who am dat?”

Maybe it should be - the 1st consecutive 2 items out of 20 ?

One ? is, do we stay "beyond high school" when we are here in a retirement area? I assume that there is a gradual mental decline. If only we could go back physically to high school level. Maybe next lifetime?

Proper grammer, what is that? It's rarer than hen's teeth!

Proper spellin has its place as well

My pet peeve linguistically is in TOTV when people use the word "loose" when it should be "lose". This could be because they temporarily have a "loose" screw in their head that they need to "lose". Lose means to fail to win or fail to find something. Loose is adjective meaning than something is not tight or free from restraint. Example - the dog got loose. One interesting example is the former military command "loose arrows". Some people in TOTV land may just keep their finger on the letter O so long that it becomes OO in the word LOOSE when they really mean LOSE (and they fail to proofread). But, I think that many people must believe that LOOSE is correct in all situations. I wonder ?

You lose me which makes me lost.

'n at. Jeet yet?

"I could care less" is now an accepted form of sarcasm meaning the same as "I couldn't care less."

There is no end to the obliteration of the English language. How about the annoying vetran, vetranarian, litrally, integerty, shtrong, shtraight, and annivershary to list a few anomalies. Then there are the newscasters starting a story with a couple they or a woman she or the policeman he.
Also, me and he are going away, him and me have a date tonight and this type of language is cutting across all levels of society. Listening to the English language now is often cringeworthy but them are the way it goes.

irregardless has been added as a word, if i remember correctly. Words can be added to the dictionary over time. How do you think all those high tech words are now found in the dictionary?

A high school acquaintance mailed a new word request and it was added to one of the dictionaries, though the word was a derogatory use of someone's last name. .
