cv91915 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Webinar If that the only one that annoys you count yer blessings I assure you that this will be a running thread. I was just in an online meeting, and the host kept calling it a webinar, and for a moment I wished I was sitting right there so I could slap her across the face.

iH8cra Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The buzzwords don't bother me as long as they are used correctly. What bothers me is poor grammar and bad spelling. Examples: 1. You're and your 2. Between you and I 3. I could care less 4. Use of apostrophes to pluralize a noun 5. Use of nauseous when the speaker means nauseated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use of nauseous when the speaker means nauseated I agree with all of those, especially #4. I also hate it when someone doesn't know the difference between "fewer" and "less," as well as the improper use of the word "myself."

Beachgal Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I'm trying to hold back here, but I'll add "effect" when "affect" should be used. Either can be used as a noun or verb. Also, lie and lay. One lies down but lays a glass on the table. Edited August 6, 2014 by Beachgal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
