Lazy might fit into that file. <br /> <br />Welcome to the future, teachers having hard enough times getting through, with school districts that are cutting back, so I've just about had it this English class is one of the headaches that might just get ignored. because of low funds to put forward to help teachers. WOW, Im tired...long day,Maybe I should have taken a nap, before getting on the blog. so excuse me if it looks crappy I am very sorry, this issue hits me hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-34233377676584267172015-10-09T15:47:50.373-04:002015-10-09T15:47:50.373-04:00Amen to that.

To prove me wrong she looked it up on the internet only to find that it exists in the Urban Dictionary, which defined it as "an agonizing ignorant mispronunciation" I could not help myself but laugh at her. I may be sleeping on the couch tonight but I am glad that there are people like myself who still believe in proper English usage.

I can't stand it! I've tried SO hard to make someone stop but it just isn't happening! And since then, I've heard two other quite intelligent people say it.

I was sure I was the only person in the US who cringes at the common usage of acrossed.<br /> We take it two steps farther here in Montana, with the Holy Grail of bastardization in one common sentence: "I SEEN it yesterday, that pond must be thirty, forty FOOT ACROSSED."<br /> God help us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-22978809046523509642011-07-20T10:04:07.929-04:002011-07-20T10:04:07.929-04:00I was caught using it at work by someone clearly o...I was caught using it at work by someone clearly of higher learning than myself. Even after she pointed it out to me I used it an additional 3 times until she was kicking me every time I said it. It just comes out that way without warning and now it's so frustrating. I googled the word to prove to her that it was a past tense form of the word when I found your hilarious blog. Please don't hate me, it's because of my environment not me. Thanks for striving to repair the butchered english language. I recently moved to the south and let me tell you acrossed ain't nothing compared to "use-ta could" eg, "Hey can you ride a bike?" <br />"Well, I used-ta could, when I was younger"AvengingRelichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663668684571808637noreply@blogger.com
