Things that bug me

Misspelling certain words:
~ There's no A in definite. See, it's definitely definite. Stop trying to put an A in there.
~ Also you want to lose weight so your pants will be loose.
~ We're in America, and in America, spelt is a type of grain; it is not the past tense of spell. That would be spelled.
~ I also think that the words whilst and amongst are hopelessly pretentious.

Rachael Ray: She just bugs the shit out of me.

Today that's really all that's bugging me. I must be in a good mood.

TTBM (Thing that bug me) by Connie..

Rachael Ray is too happy for her own good - she needs a good slap.

Yes, defanately. LOL!

The Hollow came out! I just bought the paperback today at the grocery store. Had no idea it was so soon!

I'll keep the idea of a weekly TTBM blog in mind.

I picked up The Hollow in the grocery store last Monday night; haven't read it yet, but it's up soon. I liked Blood Brothers quite a bit.

Uh oh. I know we're in America, but I learnt that the past tense of spell is spelt. Not sure I can make the transistion to spelled. It looks odd to me, even after all these years.

Don't hate me!

I do know how to spell definitely though!

You forgot myriad! I can't stand the mis-use of that word, lol.

There isn't a myriad of choices, there are simply myriad choices!

"Literally" is the most over-used word in the English language, and often used incorrectly. It pisses me off so much that I blogged about it.

I don't know where you live, Connie, but if Rachael Ray bugs you as much as she does me, then I hope you don't live anywhere near a Dunkin' Donuts. Her television commercial appears about 26,966,286 times a day in the Boston area.
