Random pet peeve

It's SANDWICH, people!

S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H


There is no such thing as a "sammich." That is NOT a WORD!

Argh!

...

That is all. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day.

Also: conGRATulations. Not conGRADulations.

Gnash gnash.

And "hear, hear" not "here, here."

*snarl*

I am in a weird mood, possibly brought on by the horrendous grammar of my co-workers. The smallest spelling and grammar mistakes are sending me into a fury today.

My un-favorite is sang-wich.

[owldaughter.livejournal.com]

I cringe at "sammidge", myself.

Why do you never get hungry at the seaside?
Because of all the sandwiches there.

We have a bread rack at work, that we use for our rolls, which says "For Sub Sandwishes" on the sticker from the company. That sticker is a bit darkened by burning now, but I refuse to let anyone take it off because it makes me laugh every time I see it.

And, no, I don't work for Subway or any chain sandwich place.

B..but I *like* the cuteness of the spelling of "sammich"!

*wibbles*

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Cuteness is overrated. ;)

The only place I've ever found the use of "sammich" acceptable has been in "ScaryGoRound," the webcomic by John Allison (hope I spelled that right). Somehow, he makes it funny. :)

People actually (and very seriously) pronounce it "nucular" here.

Drives me up the wall.

I sympathise.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Urgh. Although as I understand it, it *is* an accepted regional pronunciation.

*sigh*

[gmarc.livejournal.com]

jystdave pronounces it nucular...

and I can't hit him because he's one of my best friends! Argh!

MLG

[sultrysong.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

My personal un-favorite is 'eck-cetera'

Certainly, that is not good Latin

[montecristo.livejournal.com]

Nevertheless, I'll bet you pronounce it "et-setera" using the soft "s" sound of the "c" instead of the Latin-correct "et-ketera."

Don't come south of the 48th parallel spoutin' that, Missy

[montecristo.livejournal.com]

The "sammich" has its fans in the States.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it does. It's still not a word. :P

[walkerofrohan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that drives me crazy too!
Not half as crazy as this stuff though:
U totaly pwned those sammich guys, gratz on your l33t spelling skillz!
Now, off to the Barrens with me, so I can hear more l33tsp34k that will drive me bonkers!
(I blame Toys R Us and text messaging.)
Power to the teachers! Give them back their -1 for spelling mistakes!

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Not to mention their -2 for grammar mistakes! Yaaay!

My favorite mispronunciation is "libary."

The very close runner up prize goes to people who mispronounce "mispronunciation" as "mispronounciation." (There is no such f---ing word, folks!!! None!! None word!!)

[dizietsma.livejournal.com]

"wensday" always bugs me too

[julienne64.livejournal.com]

Sammich I can handle. My peeve is "Interact".

THERE IS NO GODDAMNED "T"!! It's INTERAC! IN-TER-AC!

And like gmarc, the person who does this regularly is my own mother. And I can't smack HER!!! Argh!

Well, maybe I can get my father to ... never mind.

I will now return you to your regularly scheduled peeves.

[luvenditti.livejournal.com]

there is in Italian.

Sammich.
Chement.
Mangonaise.
Chigar.
MeI.

[luvenditti.livejournal.com]

actually, sandwich in Italian is sangwich.

[jteethy.livejournal.com]

Supposebly.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

I've never seen that particular mispelling.
