One of my peeves in sewing communities (like this one, ahem ahem...) is to hear the word "embroidery" used as a verb. Such as, "I'm going to embroidery it." NO, you are going to embroider it. Embroidery (a noun) is what you will have when you get done embroidering (verb).
I also think it's funny when you hear people referring to the troops on horseback as the "
calvary" (where Jesus died) when they mean "
cavalry. Hubby and I love the old black and white Gunsmoke episodes on the Western channel, but the other night we heard both Chester Good and Matt Dillon refer to the cavalry as the
calvary.
Those who pronounce the L in salmon, better rethink it. It's not right. I always think of salmonella when I hear that L pronounced. They can eat their salmonella, but I'll take the sammon!
