Subject: RE: BS: Mangling the English Language
The only one that really bothers me is 'nucular' verses 'nuclear'. It's like someone is scratching their nails on a chalkboard. I've actually heard professors with a doctrate in chemistry doing this. For some reason, they have no problem with talking about the nucleus (not nuculus) of an atom.

I'm obsessive.
