Thread Name: BS: Great Misquotations
Subject: RE: BS: Great Misquotations
Murray, you are correct, the misquotations are too numerous to count, and I doubt if we could come close to quoting all the misquotes. It is something I get a bit miffed about also. One of the most famous misquotations in TV & move history is "Beam me up, Scotty!" I also detest mispronounced words such as: nook-yoo-ler instead of nuclear; realtor mispronounced as: ril-uh-ter, and if you wish to win an easy $20 in a bar bet, dare someone to look up & find "perrogative" in any dictionary. It cannot be found because the word is: prerogative. And don't forget to send me my cut of all those winnings, catters!
