The Thursday Threesome::Pop Quiz!::

Onesome: Ain't- There's a lot of slang floating around out there. Some of it has even found its way into the dictionary. Is there any one word that you find more annoying than others? That you just wish would fall off the face of the planet, never to be heard again?

"Tight" as an expression of approval.

Twosome: It- It's/Its, they're/their/there. Just a few of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language. So the question is, when you blog, do you worry about grammar, punctuation and spelling? If you notice a typo do you go back and edit? Or do you shrug it off because everyone makes typos?

If it's worth writing about, it's worth spelling it correctly. I fix it. Everyone should. Editing is easy. (It's harder to catch 'em than it used to be...)

Threesome: Purty?- Purty/pretty, crick/creek, warsh/wash. All common pronunciations, whether they sound pretty or not. And one is mispronounced. What's one commonly mispronounced word that just drives you nuts?

Here in Georgia, you develop a high tolerance for such things. The crick, after all, don't care: It's still purty. (There's something about saying you're "on line", though, when the correct usage is so clearly "in line".)
That said, I don't care for deliberate mispronunciations for the sake of humor. I am amused to observe that when someone, let's say the President, says "nucular", it effectively ends any discussion of the actual subject while everyone rolls their eyes at his pronunciation. One might almost think he does it on purpose.
