If You Use This Word, People Will Think You're Stupid

Tuesday, May 8, 2012


It's real-tor, not real-it-or.

The 't' is silent in often.

Lay is an intransitive verb - Hens lay; people lie.  "Bob was lying on the couch", not laying.  

There is no such word as enthused; It's enthusiastic.

'Gypped' is an ethnic slur.

And in spelling, remember "It's 'i' before 'e', except after 'c', and when it has the 'a' sound, as in neighbor and weigh (ex. sieve, receive).  And weird is just weird (and science is, too - remember it by the movie with that title).  

And separate isn't seperate.

Slow news day.
