Hi Ross --
Mine is "sematics" (semantics). I hear it all the time! Argggg ...
I forgot to mention "nucular" (nuclear).
Didn't you know that "flustrating" is the official word of Utah? It's a combination of frustrated and flustered. I believe its exceptable vainacular here.
Also, I really like it when my students say "x little two," when they should be saying "x squared." That's my favorite.
Oh . . . I hope you get the joke about the "exceptable vainacular." Please don't add me to your list, but here are some others . . .
-go to the pharmacy to get your subscriptions
-I can see into the future because I have ESPN.
Where do I even start? Since moving to my current place of residence, I have heard the phrase "we was" over a million times. And I'm not joking. I'm even scared that someday I might say it just because I hear it so much that it might start to sound normal....
Isn't pundit what you do when it's fourth and ten?
