Just a little peeve to start the weekend:
It drives me absolutely insane when people cannot spell the word “dilemma”. It seems like five out of six people I see using the word online spell it incorrectly.
The most common misspelling I see is “delima”. Okay, fine, you don’t know how to spell it, but THAT spelling? Is not even how it’s pronounced!!! The word is pronounced dill-lem-ma. Not dee-lime-ah. And “delima” spells dee-lime-ah. It sounds like a guy from Jamaica talking about beans.
And don’t even get me started on “could of” and “should of” instead of could’ve and should’ve. *Falls on the floor, gnashing teeth and foaming at the mouth*
Best wishes for the weekend, everyone!

Aaarrrggh. Don’t get me started.
“I’m suppose to…”
“Don’t say that explicative…”
“I wait with baited breath…”
Whoops, you got me started. Now I’ll stop. But, I’m just saying…I’m right there with ya.
