Have you noticed a lot of people say "supposebly"? It drives me crazy!?

Answer 1

I really can't stand it when people say things like that! I had a friend and she said, "I hate him! He thinks he is so much better than everyone else! he walks around acting so inferior to everyone!" I started laughing so hard! She's an idiot! She always says the wrong word! That is a HUGE pet peeve.

Another one I hate is expresso....it's espresso!!! No X in the word!

Ok, one more...I have a friend who is very put together. She is beautiful, intelligent, married to a lawyer (partner) and left her high powered career to have kids. She has to have dinner semi often for the partners or clients etc. She uses the wrong word all the time. It is so odd because she doesn't seem like she would at all. One time while we were in college she asked me if I was planning on getting a 'doctern' I asked her if she meant a doctorate. She said no, a doctern. She insisted she was saying the word right. I made sure she was actually talking about a PhD. She was. That was the first time I thought she was an idiot. Many more followed. Her husband was often very embarrassed in front of the partners and clients because of this. She does it often and if you correct her or try to help her out she gets very upset and insists she is right...strange.

Answer 2

Have you noticed that some people spell the word supposedly incorrectly? Some people also pronounce it supposebly instead of the proper supposedly.

Answer 3

I might desire to plead in charge to being a vulture, incredibly in undesirable climate, once I've labored a 12 or 13 hour shift, and maximum incredibly as quickly as I even have my 6 month old grandson with me. I do, in spite of the indisputable fact that, attempt to leave adequate area for the guy to back out, and that i pull over to the area adequate that different vehicles can bypass. lots of the different vultures surely are people who are not feeling properly, have undesirable knees, hips, hearts - and yet do no longer qualify for a handicap sticky label. they may well be a pregnant woman in her final trimester, or a mom with youthful babies. Are there hunky, buff adult adult males who stalk parking places? Are there females who "do no longer choose to get their hair tousled"? Are there a dozen different kinds of human beings who force me loopy in a carpark - Oh, yea........And, there are the human beings who whip around parking plenty zipping for the time of lanes endangering those driving and strolling throughout the lot. those make me loopy because of the fact they are risky. So, please do no longer condemn all people who (I choose the term) "stalk" parking places. some all and sundry is purely attempting to get by utilising.

Answer 4

Yes. I also noticed that a lot of people say "of" instead of "have" as in "should of" insted of "should have," for example (in speaking, it sounds the same most of the time, but I see it in written communication). Actually, I've noticed a lot of bad grammar and things like this lately, even in supposedly professional things, and it makes me wonder if I just never noticed before or if our language skills are decreasing.

Answer 5

LMAO. You should take a trip to "Da Hood" and hear more things that drive people crazy. While you're there, take a left at "Da Trailer Park" and take notice too. Oh, then take another left at "Major US City", then make a pit stop at "Smalltown USA". SupposeDly, Bad English is nationwide!

Answer 6

I have noticed. I just figured people were talking with a mouthful of Mac and Cheese and maybe this was causing them to slur the word. It's almost as bad as people saying Warshington.

Answer 7

thank you- I have heard it alot too. Makes me nuts!!! People don't take the time to listen to learn how to pronounce "supposedly" and when they say it wrong, no one corrects them. I do correct them and they look at me like I don't know what I'm talking about. But I believe if you let something like that pass you've just missed an opportunity to help someone, so they don't sound like an idiot all their life.

Answer 8

Yes, i have. My first reaction is to laugh politely, then smash them in the face with a tack hammer. Secondly, i litter the ground around the corpse with pages torn from a dictionary.

Answer 9

no..maybe you're a little too high strung and a little "crazy" already? I guess I'm just not in contact with many people who speak in 'slang'. Birds of a feather I guess. Find some other people to 'hang' out with.

Answer 10

I don't really pay attention to the spelling as long as I can understand it is OK with me. I have enough stress and problems in my life like to worry about people that do not spell words right.
