You know how you pronounce Boise? We gotta fellow @ work from there, he claims it is:

 

Boy-sea

 

I always thought it was:

 

Boy-zee

 

Anyway, VF, what kinda names are those other name. Never heard of them.

Sammy should give us a rulling on which one.

Here's one more that sportscasters often misuse, "Champing at the bit."

 

It's not "Chomping at the bit."

2 things:

 

1) People who spell definitely as defiantly. It's not even close, you !@#$ing morons.

 

2) If you Twitter, search for things like "the smell of his colon". Literally thousands of girls who seemingly think that a man's perfume is from his insides.

 

I could rant forever on this topic.

Sounds like a new market, twitter users are dumb enough to buy anything with a hashtag.

Well, John Cougar Mellencamp says, "I cannot forget, from where it is that I come from..." so I don't think we should be taking our grammar cues from musicians.

I thought I was the only one who was annoyed when people add an s to a word like anyway.

There is a whole city of idiots like that:
