Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

Published

Everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste? Well, of course not everyone, but a whole lot of folks on here do.

Shouldn't the word be co-signed? Or have I been wrong all these years? To me, consign is what you do with your used clothes in a consignment shop. :cheeky:

I haven't observed everyone saying that ...or even a whole lot of people.

Best guess is autocorrect. That, or they literally pronounce it that way (incorrectly), like some people say "supposably".

Do I need to consign metropolol? Supposably not, but when I was conversating with some work colleagues one of them said when she was being orientated she was told she had to.

(there are 5ish errors in those sentences...)

This sentence literally made my head explode. For all intensive purposes it slaughtered the English language. Pacifically, the words orientated and conversating.

I'm just trying to get by in this no holes barred, doggy dog world, you know? I'm glad these posts about fragrant errors have peaked your interest. It's a bit of a blessing in the skies that we can extract revenge by laughing about it now.
