there are misspellings, misusages and misprints everywhere
As in the aforementioned "draw" for "drawer?"
I'll try AND fit you in, instead of I'll try TO fit you in?
Al-you-mini-yum for aluminum.
Need I bring up nuke-ya-ler for nuclear (Thanks, L'il George, for that one).
My western PA step mother: yunz (you-unz, or more correctly, you folks), or "six of one half of another," instead of, "six of one half a dozen of another." Rich and I refer to this as six of one and a bucket of clams when referring to her. Don't know where that came from other than it makes about as much sense.
And, how about all those places we love that pay good money to have signs made for their antique and collectable (um, collectible) shops?
At Dunkin Donuts here, you can often hear, "Can I help the next?" That's it. Not "Can I help the next person," not, "Can I help the next customer," not, "Can I help the next person in line..." Nothing. I once asked, "The next what?" and was met with a blank stare like they had no idea (idear) what I was talking about!
Do they even teach English in schools any more? I realize it's called "Language Arts" now, but you can't tell me there's any art in what I hear coming out of mouths here... other than something by Picasso!
By the way, is it "mouths," or "mouthes?" I don't want to catch hell from my proof-reader from my newsletter-writing days!
