It should be, but the thread's OP didn't think so.

That was his point. Someone said "grocery isles".

My mother says her doctor wants her to get a colonostopy, but she won't do it. My sister and I secretly snicker over this.

Got it, takes awhile, or is that a while?

A high school civics teacher said "condomonium."

And a former boss said "arbortoreum." We underlings would make fun of his errors so often that we forgot how to pronounce the word correctly.

On another subforum here, a parent doesn't want her child to submit to "wrote memorization" of multiplication facts.

A member quoted a post above his and added the comment, "couldnt of said it better myself" and I think he made that obvious.

Meteors vs. Meteorites. The News Media, as expected, is wonderfully confusing these two terms without bothering to look them up or ask somebody, seemingly making random selection of which to use, or simply using one and then the other to avoid sounding repetitious, the bane of journalism, like pope/pontiff or earthquake/temblor.

"A meteorite is a meteoroid (a solid piece of debris from such sources as asteroids or comets) originating in outer space that survives impact with the Earth's surface." (Wikipedia)

So far, there are no meteorites in the Siberia incident. Only when solid fragments are found on the ground that survived the impact, will there be any meteorites to be spoken about. It's all meteors so far. Or, meteoroids, a term which encompasses both.

Additionally, she used to advise parents to be more, "strick", with their misbehaving children.

I knew two well educated people who said birfday. One also said 'pelinsula.'
