Subject: RE: BS: Improper letter S endings! Arghhh!
anyways...grrr

in writing: "suppose to" instead of "supposed to"...grrr...

or "supposively" instead of "supposedly"...grrr

or "cut and dry" instead of "cut and dried"...grrr...

BayBanks (when it was called BayBank; the bank was bought out and does not exist anymore but it used to make me go grrrrr when people added an S)...grrr

As a film critic I notice when people get film titles wrong:

like "sex, lies and videotapes"...grrr

people also used to pronounce the film "Cinema Paradiso" as if it were "Cinema Paradisio"...grrr

or "Mississippi Marsala" instead of the proper "Mississippi Masala"...grrr

or when I used to work at a little art house theatre in grad school, people though they were cool when asking for tickets by saying the first word of the title...like "Wild" for "Wild at Heart"...or "Life" instead of "Life is Sweet"...grrr...I would pretend I did not know what they were talking about...heh heh heh...
