A boss one time could make us climb the walls every time he told us that we must be 'versable'. The illiterate boob was trying to say 'versatile'...A lot of my pet peeves have already been listed above...Espcially Ebbies, but in reverse...I get so damn tired of hearing Civil War reenactors talking about the calvary troops. Does any one work in the automotive field and hear folks refering to their 'university joint', instead of the universal joint? How about where there are machine parts with splines that slide into other splined parts being called 'spleens'?
