Remuneration
-
I tend to go through phases of being unable to type certain words. I typed methid instead of method over and over and over again today. And one day a few years ago trying to program in Progress I typed edn instead of end, a much used word in that language, almost every time. Just for the one day.

Yeah. It just happened in this sentence again.

You've gotten so used to it that you do not realize it anymore. See still you are typing it wrong. ;P Retards, Danish

To my surprise, I've been using the wrong word. It's remuneration, not renumeration. :doh: Any other common misspellings or incorrect usages of words you have run into? I know somebody who used to say "mines well"... any guesses as to what they actually meant? :)
expresso instead of espresso annoys me almost as much as 'renumeration'. And I HATE when people type per say instead of per se.

You hate when people use the incorrect version of a simple word more than when they use the incorrect version of a less common word?

Hay, give them some slack. That is not, per se, what they meant to say, wouldn't you say?

I know technically it's correct usage, but it still makes me grit my teeth: object-orientated
If I ever saw somebody seriously use that, I might have to puke in my mouth a little bit.

Heard a David O'Docherty (sp?) at the Edinburgh festival (it's on the Amnesty International final podcast) ranting (in song) about how he pronounced Hyperbole to rhyme with superbowl, twice, live on radio. Well, it's funny when he sings it:)

"means well"?

People who say pacific instead of specific need to be beaten until they stop. These seem to mostly be women. I actually saw someone write "anyone persific?" the other day. Londoners cannot say Birmingham, they say Birmanum. I always pronounced Arkansas as it is written until I saw something to do with Bill Clinton where there was a caption on the TV.

Even worse are people who muddle 'literally' with 'figuratively'; as in "He literally exploded with rage". Also, lots of folks muddle 'regularly' and 'frequently'; as in "I regularly give to charity" (which could mean once a decade, when they intend to imply much more often). Plus, (and this seems common amongst the Americans) there is no word called 'alot'; the options are 'a lot' (many) or 'allot' (to distribute).
