Ergo. Why not just say "therefore" or an equivalent? Sounds more natural to me.

Vis-a-vis. Because I forgot what the hell it means, and it also sounds pretentious to me.

De facto. This one has for some reason started to annoy me after I've seen FGR use it several times. Using this makes more sense than the above ones though.

I guess I'm just not a Latin lover...

You've got a problem with the Cervix?

Fault of the Architect from The Matrix?

I think vis-a-vis is actually French and more or less means 'when compared with/with regards to' or something.

Ugh. Seconded. Bigtime.

But they just.. did.. say 'therefore'.

At least in any sort of western legal arena, Latin has been used for centuries. Don't see why we should give it up now.

dor, don't mind him, he's just bitter.

This post made me actually laugh out loud.




So are you saying he's utilizing the word wrong?




I love this word when Stephen Colbert says it. I hadn't realized people used it seriously, though..



Guh! I hear you there. Emails and meetings every day here are full of things like "leverage" and "soonest [eg 'Please let me know soonest'], "actioned/action" as a verb eg 'please advise if this has been actioned.' Also I hate "expedite", like 'please expedite this to be actioned at the soonest.' and anything involving "critical" or "urgent", like 'this is now critically urgent' or 'urgently critical'.

I can deal with action as a noun, as in when I look at meeting minutes I check the action column for my initials, but I definitely have the VITRIOL for actioned as a past participle of a made up verb. An action is completed or done, not ****ING actioned!!

/GAH!

I don't like when people use "fix" incorrectly. "Fix" means to attached securely, "repair" means to take action so that something that is broken can become functional again.

Unless what was broken was that it was falling off or apart.. :p

Eg "the door on my cupboard was busted and wouldn't stay shut, so I fixed it."

I didn't say that I don't like when people use the word "fix", I said I don't like it when they use the word incorrectly. Your example would be correct, though profoundly stupid.

Edification.

I have no justification for why I hate this word...I just do.

Gorn? What is this gorn? You mean corn?

You just added to my list: the prefixes 'mega' and 'uber'.

[EDIT: Oh my goodness it is actually 'gorn'. I've been misled all these years! :omg:]

Impact. It's a great noun. A great. Noun.

It's a verb too. But it's a verb only because people misused it until it became a verb. So it's grammatically correct to say "impacted." You just sound like a ****wit in doing so.

What about the adjective form? Like an impacted tooth?

.

hahahahahahah

jewfro

dont use this word ever

I used "jew" as a verb once. My teacher was not happy.

I used jewed instead of "ripped off" all the time.

I hate words I can't pronounce. That's a lot. My parents never taught me how to talk.

...they're supposed to have?

Naw, I just say that. I'm just dyslexic as heck and I not only mess up the order of words in sentences, but the letters in words too.

...Dyslexia deals with written language, not your own speech impediments.

Yeah... you don't know the full phrase:

I before E except after C, unless pronounced ay as in neighbor and weigh, and words like weird, but those are just weird.

Squirrel King, your parents aren't at fault. You're obviously the product of a faulty English department as basic usage of words is beyond you.

Oh whatever, I'm just retarded then.

It's usually just because I start talking before I think, and then I realize I what I'm about to say is really stupid so I try to make it normal.

And you fail miserably. So add stupid to the list.

I heard someone say "vis a vis" tonight

wow!

actually i can 'grasp' that i just don't care:psylon:

Fixed

Who cares?

Evidently a number of people in this thread, especially those who are discussing it <_<

Just speak the ****ing language however. It's not a problem unless you aren't understood. And then it's still not a problem because nobody cares what you have to say anyway.

Kyle was quoting a Mitch Hedburg joke. JEEZ

I was talking about the whole thread, not Kyle.

i before e fail

WHATEVER MAN YOU STILL SUCK
