Roxie Faye Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 [color=#9933ff]I don't say the internet slang but people at my school who do say that occasionally, slur the words (likew making fun of the slang), which is how I read them anyways--slurred. "Brb" isn't B-R-B, it's berb. And "lol" isn't L-O-L, it's lohwl. "J/k" is just J-K. O.o ...yeah. People at my school are odd.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 this is interesting, i thought. sure Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis has all the vowels- but the shortest word with all vowels i have ever seen is sequoia as in sequoia trees.its basically all vowel if you take away 's' and 'q'. i just thought that was cool when i saw it.

VinceValentine Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I am really stuck on what the plural of orifice is. (Orifice - an opening or hole through which something can pass eg:mouth) I don't even know if there is a plural to Orifice, but if someone knows can they please tell me... :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#808080] The other would be the phrase "I could care less about that". So, if I'm talking about something I don't care about, I might say (incorrectly):[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] I once wrote a letter and used that phrase except I used it correctly and someone who wsa proofreading my letter kept on telling me that I was saying it wrong. They were absolutly sure that they were right. Supercalafradulisticexpialadocous Anyone know if that's the correct spelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And evanescence, that's one cool word. Leotard... that word just freaks me out. Lesbian:Lol, I got a funny story. Lesbians are called so because the first lesbians came from an Islan called Lesbos. Now, people from Lesbos are called Lesbosnians. I have no idea if it's true, but its pretty funny. and doesnt it annoy you when people write in only small letters and dont punctuate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminaire Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 [color=crimson]1. people mix up accidentally and accidently way too often for my liking. It is accidentally. 2. I can't say "specific" or "Pacific" for the life of me. 3. crumb, thumb, comb...the b's just annoy me. 4. Pollen and Pollination. Notice something odd? The "e" in pollen changes to an "i". 5. I was taught to spell "Messenger". But, messanger is not correct. And, we send "messages", not "messenges". 6. Hydrophobia and Rabies are the same thing. Fear of water. 7. Balogna. The most annoying word. People say "baloney", I say it the way it is spelt. 8. Croissant. In french, it sounds like "quasont", in english I hear "crescent" like the moon. 9. Hogie, Submarine sandwich, sub, hero, longer sandwich. I could add more... 10. "Toss the cookies" means to throw up. I know 6 other words for throw up sadly. 11. Feng Shui pronounced "fung shway", how did they get that? 12. old English "shoppe" it's pronounced "shop" not "shoppee". 13. the confusion of good and well annoys me too. 14. Funny how "suck" and "blow" mean the same thing nowadays. That annoys me so much. 15. Coffee, how is that supposed to be pronounced? Same with quarter? 16. People have become very lazy with their "kinda's" and "sorta's", same with "gonna" and "wanna". 17. Sadly, in my school, the "g" in "ing" has been forgotten. 18. Last, but not least, in my school, everything you say has a naughty double meaning...how truly sad that is. ~Lumi ^_^ P.S.: I am a Grammar and Spelling freak.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(<AA>) Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Oh yeah, isn't that whole who/whom thing funny? Almost no one gets it right (including me)! And Angel and Angle. The guardian angle saved his life.(For lack of a better sentence >.<) It's an obtuse angel. Lol, It's so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
