It is bad enough when everyday people ignore all grammar rules and butcher words like "supposably" but what really gets me going is when you hear poor grammar or slang from news readers. I hear the word "busted" used instead of broken quite a lot here in the Dallas, TX area.

Right next to that ..."My bad" makes me shudder!! Right next to that is "No problem" and "You got it" when ordering in a restaurant. And making ASAP a word - do they do that where you live? Long A-sap. And script instead of prescription. I guess I'm just getting old. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17341762645445014785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557722205539891128.post-36943069970913278202008-10-16T01:58:00.000-07:002008-10-16T01:58:00.000-07:00My 2 current language pet peeves are: Having said ...My 2 current language pet peeves are: <BR/><BR/>Having said that <BR/><BR/>At the end of the day<BR/><BR/>I swear if I had a nickel for each time I heard those phrases, I'd be a rich woman.<BR/><BR/>I read on a list months ago (maybe and end of 2007 list) that this phrase is "out" but I can't stop using it!
