Considering how late in life it manifests itself these days (if ever...), I'm in favor of anything that popularizes it. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Yes, "anymore" is high on the list but did not come immediately to mind. Others- I seen it at the store. I drug it down the driveway. This broken window needs fixed. Good lord, it pains me to even type those out. ____________ Μολὼν Λαβέ 01 03 04 14 16 18 | |||

Well, sorry, but "to gift" is in fact a verb with about 400 years of history (if not popularity) behind it. As explained well by Webster, it implies a nuance of WHY something was given as much as the act itself. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Improper grammar due to lack of an education is one thing. The use of improper grammar to appear trendy is quite another. | |||

I believe it should be either: "This broken window needs to be fixed" or "This broken window needs fixing" With my preference being the first example. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

This broken window needs to be (fixed) repaired. Edit: Three replies for the price of one.  ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Expecially. Not sure how much longer it will be before it appears in the dictionary that way. The above pronunciation seems to be taking over. | |||

Oh, I see what you mean now.. There were more than a few people back in Arizona that kept saying " borrow me some money" or " I borrowed him money for lunch". Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

I'll add to the list here. Saying " all of the sudden" is just wrong. It should be "All of a sudden". It has become commonplace the last couple of years. | |||

I don't know if it's correct usage or not, but it bugs the shit out of me to hear people say "I'm bored of..." versus "I'm bored with..." e.g."I'm bored of school" Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Yes. If someone says to you "Thank you" the correct reply is not "Thank you," it is "You are welcome." Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||
