In other words..it's now bi-literally defined
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

I'm at a Nissan plant in Tn (long story), anyway I just heard guy telling someone that his Cadillac converter went out and it's going to cost him $800.

I've been watching Californication on Netflix and they had this one on there... "panty waist". Its panty waste, not waist. Sure, they sound the same but they are different. Of course some argue panty waist is correct but logic says the latter is far more offensive.

"First come, first serve."
It's "first served", grammatically "come" there is a past participle, so "serve" has to be past tense.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

"snuck". Arrrgh!!!! It wasn't in the dictionary until about 15 years ago, but its improper use was so rampant Webster's evidently gave up. Sneak, Sneaked, Sneaked.

Re: Funny sayings people get wrong
My Core teacher in 8th Grade at Seneca, Roxie Hoffman, gave all but 4 students in our class failing grades on a paper we wrote for using "snuck". She was one of the best English and writing instructors I ever had. I would have hated to have been with her the day she found the word was added.

Brand new one I saw today. Somebody wrote that they wanted to "air on the side of caution."

My daughter gave me a new one --
A patient told her that she was "lactose AND tolerant."
I'm. Not. Quite. Sure. What. That. Means. It is possible that she was being literal.

Been on here since about 1998 I think. First post of Kingcat's I wish I hadn't read.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Funny sayings people get wrong
The wife saw one on Facebook about a guy talking about how horrible the Hall Of Cost was. Yes, it's true. Seen it myself.
BTW, if you ever hear about someone beating anyone to death because the beatee said 'I seen', rest assured it will be me who is the beater.
