This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

[GregRN]

Okay, it's HIPAA, not HIPPA. And, it's JCAHO, not JACHO. And, another one that's been getting to me lately: it's spelled "definitely", not "definately".

Thanks for listenting. Okay. Much better now...

I knew who said 'supposebly.' She had a speech impediment (something to keep in mind).

Supposably is a word

Nitch, however, is not a word. The word is niche - I see this one a lot.

Hitler had a "regime". The old lady in the hospital taking pills does not.

I used to work as proofreader years ago and misspelled words drive me nuts. They don't bother me so much on here or when something is handwritten but when there are typos in a menu at a restaurant or in some other kind of printed material it just makes me wonder who they heck proofread that?! You paid to have that printed and there are mistakes? ugh.

[Lucyinthesky]

LOL!! I just noticed my typo above! (they heck)

I keep getting spam from a company that says "Were hiring..." I am so tempted to reply, "Too bad you were hiring. I might have been the perfect person for the job."

I knew who said 'supposebly.' She had a speech impediment (something to keep in mind).

I worked with a nurse who pronounced it "opposedly." I couldn't help myself, and I stopped her in report one day and asked, "As opposed to what?"

[Ado Annie, ASN, RN]

Many of these don't really faze me... but "phase" instead of "faze" does. Say it together with me... it's not "he wasn't phased by it"... it's "he wasn't fazed by it"... really.

It bugs me most to see it in a newspaper. Typos and casually misspelled or misused words on a newsgroup forum are one thing. Printed material by people who write for a living should be better. In local papers, I've seen boaters near a "damn", escaped inmates on the "lamb" (poor sheep), many cases of people being "phased" (does that mean they were hit by a Star Trek phaser?)
