Poison Ivory - 99 and 44/100% pure - does it itch or float?

Ideal instead of idea.

Real-i-tor instead of realtor, real-i-ty instead of realty.

I have a friend who is a little sloppy in her expressions. For example she says "tendon" instead of "tenant" I corrected her once and she said: Don't correct me if you know what I'm talking about. Allrighty then.

Haha. I tend to get a little 'switchy' when I talk - I swap words around without realizing it all the time. My husband used to correct me until I told him the same thing. Don't correct me if you know what I'm talking about! I know what I'm talking about and you know what I'm talking about, so come on, don't point out my verbal dyslexias, okay?!

Okay, I havent read through all of these, but here is the one that I absoultly hate...... When someone says "pitchers" when they mean "pictures."

"Those are beautiful pitchers of your grandchildren!"
OMG my father would be turning in his grave! He was a professional photographer.

When we lived in SC, everyone said cut off the lights.

OK, Y'all...here's my favorite pet peeve: What happen to the word "too", meaning also. People now say "as well" instead! What's up with that??? Huh???
