I have a friend that always pronounces the word "both" with an L so he says "bolth"...it drives me crazy. I tell him to spell both...b-o-t-h...then say both, but it is always "bolth".

People misusing decimate now bugs me for some reason. Like almost everyone else I thought it meant the same as devastate until some etymology nazi pointed out what it actually means on the CBC news message boards last year (historically, anyway). It's Latin, meaning to take one in 10. So if, for example, a farmer's crop was decimated by a storm that would mean 10% of it was lost. Rather than the completely destroyed that most use the word for.
^^Anyone notice I just ended the last sentence there with a preposition?Last edited by DaveP; Tue, Aug 23rd, 2011 at 03:14 AM.
