Using the word "seen" inappropriately.

Incorrect: "I seen that"
Correct: "I've seen that" or "I saw that"

"Agreeance"
as in, "we are in agreeance, then"
it's considered obsolete, but it's not completely incorrect

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

my pet peeve is when people mispronounce "mischievous"

It's not MISCHEEVIOUS!! There is no IOUS at the end, it's just OUS.

I think even my parents are guilty of that one.

Take however you say "mischief" and add an "ous" sound onto the end - you don't have completely change the way you pronounce the root word

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] That "mischievous" one reminds me of my mom who used to pronounce "syrup" as "seeeeee-reee-up". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] And then obviously I picked it up from her at a young age, and the kids in middle school made fun of me in home-ec class when making pancakes served with "seeeee-reee-up".

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

Home-ec was a compulsory course for everyone since we were in MIDDLE SCHOOL! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Can't choose classes that early in our academic lives here. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
