What's a few bucks among friends? Among and between are frequently misused. It's not a great example, but the difference between the two is that 'among' is used with non-specific objects, while "between" is between specific people or things. Between Harry and Judy. Among friends.
Proof that if enough people are wrong long enough, anything will eventually find acceptance. | |||

My current one: Most gun triggers have traditionally been curved, and the antonym of “curved” is “straight,” not “flat.” “There’s a straight stretch of road after the curve ahead.” They’re straight triggers, not flat ones. So where did the idea of a “flat” trigger come from? It’s actually one of those things I think about at times. Someone who doesn’t know better thinks up a term, is (one of) the first to apply it, and then everyone else adopts it either unthinkingly or because they believe people won’t know what they’re talking about if they use a better term. How words develop and evolve is interesting to me. ► 6.4/93.6 | |||

Indeed! I recall when I was in grade school (lo those many years ago) even a mistake in punctuation resulted in a grade lower on the paper.

Same here. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

I hate all of these but my utmost hatred is reserved for "would of" "could of" (for those of you who don't know, it is "would have." I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I think people make this mistake because they hear others use the contraction "would've" or "could've". When I read that in a post, I can't help but think the poster is "expecially" ignorant. However, they probably "could care less". | |||

This reminds me of gun guys who use the word fitment when they mean fit, b/c they think it makes them sound smarter. | |||

The phrase that grates on my nerve is "school me" instead of educate me. School is a place. Education is what you receive at school. | |||

I've been seeing a lot of "some random part needs replaced". Not sure what happened to the "to be" in there. | |||

Try the free Grammarly app. It really helps and is unobtrusive. "What's a few bucks among friends?" Grammarly flagged the "What's" and suggested, "What're". It didn't say anything about "among", though. | |||
