I know what you mean though about not wanting people to continue to say the wrong thing. Years ago, I had a co-worker who was unrepentant about saying Grand Pricks instead of Grand Prix. The one this will teach me to do is draw better...eventually :DJ.L.

These are really funny. People using words...J.L.... These are really funny. People using words incorrectly is annoying and hilarious all at the same time. Another thing that happens a lot to readers: mispronouncing words. People who read a lot know the word, what it means, but often say it WRONG. When that happens, I think to myself... "Oh that person is a reader." And then I don't know if I should tell them or not. I hate for them to continue saying it wrong, but I don't want to make them feel stupid, either. Sometimes, I will say, "Oh, you are a reader." Wait. They agree. "I only know because I said that word the same way (even if I didn't) until someone told me that it should be said *this way.* Isn't that funny it happened to both of us?" That gets the information across without making the person feel dumb.<br /><br />And, of course, this has made me think of another HERE'S TO YOU clip... maybe you should keep this series up after the A to Z. You would get featured on Thursdays A LOT.<br /><br />HERE'S TO YOU...(just the first scene)...<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPvXXwF8taI<br /><br />Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-68271686473950308262014-04-15T08:28:19.694-05:002014-04-15T08:28:19.694-05:00I would if I knew what metricate meant.
