I hate the word "moist" also. And panties. Can't stand that word.

Is there such a word as "clost"? (as in "close to me") My DH swears the word is valid, I say it isn't. I've heard it on TV by national news anchors, and I just cringe. I hate that word!

tapper

Not an awkward word in terms of where to use it but one that is awkward for me.
I like the sound of the word 'specific' but have trouble pronouncing it. It tangles my tongue and comes out 'pacific'.

The Kardashians' favorite word -- like.

I never know if I should use "well" or "good" when someone asks me a question about health, etc. Most of the time I just use "good" but I'm sure there must be a rule that I missed in school.

Now this doesn't bother me but I chuckle every time I hear it. My favorite conjunction
"it's not" funny! How can that not be funny!

"Well" is an adverb so is used to describe something active/verb. "Good" is an adjective used to describe a noun.
I'm feeling/doing well. My health is good.
She cooks well. She is a good cook.

I have a hard time with farther and further.

I was reading an old novel recently. I just love the grammar and vocabulary from some of the books from the 40s. The word was circumambulate. The character was determined that he was right and would prove it even if he had to circumambulate the entire continent.

I can't think of a word yet.

However my hubs hates the word whimsical.

Farther relates to actual distance - I walked farther than you.
Further is for everything else. I am further along in the quilt making process.

That is my understanding anyway.

I always want to mis-spell occasion as occassion. Have to watch myself.

I also hate the word panties, as well as many of the modern "words" that have popped up, like vacay, sammie, etc.
