I just thought there are so many people here with such a wealth of knowledge maybe I could start a topic where people could share short bits with other's.
Here's my first go.
Poisonus or venomus?
If you bite it and you die it's poisonus.
If it bites you and you die it's venomus.
I'd like to keep it short and simple, but that is just a sugestion. Go wild anything goes. Teach us a new word in a new language. Tell us something about astrology. an herbal remedy. I think it is important to always be learning.

Greetings...

Ok here's one that really bother me... of course I'm a nurse and a one time English major.

When you are sick to your stomach or hung over.. you are nauseated not nauseous.

If you were nauseous, people would look at you or be near you and then they would vomit.

It's a common misusage, but I get a kick out of it when my patients tell me they're nauseous... the silly part of me always wants to reply, "then I'd be puking, not you!"

Have a silly day...
A

A,
in keeping with your pet peeve with words/sayings, I have one too!

When people say "I could care less," they are expressing what they mean incorrectly.
It should really be "I couldn't care less." In the first example, you're saying you still care.

Just one of those thangs for me.
