I often hear people using "I" when it should clearly be "me" as in: This is a photo of my wife and I.
Recently, it seems popular to misuse the word "utilize" when "use" is the correct term. Most people think the two words are interchangeable (but they are not) and using utilize instead of use somehow makes them appear smarter. New design terms: paint-out; change-out. Should have went... Return back... |

 Another cringeworthy error. I find people who use went rather than gone prone to error filled speech.

Geez. I didn't just buy a dependable fuel efficient car. I feel like this car carries a title...
I bought the title of speech and grammar police (or English teacher). Taking my Yaris back tomorrow and getting a Ford truck. (I kid, I kid...) Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk |

 A man married into my extended family. He had one previous marriage. That marriage produced one daughter. Early on in the marriage, that daughter referred to our family as 'those people who can't construct a proper sentence (when speaking)'. I had to chuckle a bit when one of 'those people' in my family earned a full academic scholarship to Stanford Law School, which enjoyed (and still enjoys) a higher ranking than the aforementioned daughter's alma mater.

If you draw a line (across the whole state) just south of Bradenton, anything north of that line has been fine (in my experience).

I used to live in Florida. Driving there is downright crazy really.

I got a bright red car so that people would see me, they don't.
I got a loud exhaust so they could hear me and know I am there, they don't. I got Hella Horns for when they chose not to look or even pretend to be paying attention. Now they tend to know I am there so that we can communicate in sign language.

80% of the people in SC cant drive. the worst are the ones that have the expensive cars. and while i don't like to profile i see more women that don't seem to want to look around, usually on the phone and just changing lanes all whilly nilly and not even attempting to look or signal. I can count on one hand the number of times i have seen a guy do it and most of them where really young, like still having a restricted licence young.

I spent a few days in SC last October (Spartanburg, Simpsonville, etc.) and I noticed the same. A bit ironic, considering the BMW plant is in Greer.
