Thread title from employment forum: "Job posting reguirments rediculous"
I wonder if one of those, "reguirments", was literacy.
I'm sure that the person who began that thread would consider a literacy requirement to be, "rediculous".
Driving down the road this morning listening to XM radio and I had to do a double take on the title of the song. It was J Geils "Musta Got Lost". The fact that the artist used poetic license to say "musta" instead of must have or must've is forgiveable.
But the title displayed on the radio: Must Of Got Lost. :CRINGE:
Then I googled it to see what they really named the song and there are websites galore titled Must Of Got Lost.
Just shoot me now. It's bad enough I see it when people writing on forums, but this blatant misuse is more than I can stand!
If you frequent C-D's automotive forum (or other automotive forums), you are likely to see that some folks have a problem relating to their breaks.
Being an ever-snarky person, I have sometimes responded by asking, "What did you break? I hope that it wasn't your brakes!".
Others have mentioned a problem with their brake paddle.
In those cases, I have occasionally asked if they were experiencing a problem with a canoe, or with a car.
Some people have even complained about problems with their brake petal, which surely brings up images of, "flower power".
I'm sorry.
The Devil makes me say these things.

I know this is minor by comparison, but I hate seeing grocery store aisle signs that say "can goods" instead of "canned goods".
I haven't seen that one, but many of the supermarkets in my area have express checkouts displaying a sign that states, "10 items or less".
Ironically, one of the few chains whose signs correctly state, "10 items or fewer", is Stop & Shop, which is owned by the Dutch corporate giant, Ahold.
I think it is ironic that a foreign-held supermarket chain has signs displaying better English usage than many US-based supermarket chains.
Our new receptionist at work asked me, "What was your name?"
I cut her some slack because she is new, but I wanted to say,"It WAS Missi and it is STILL Missi."
