IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE – THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH – THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER – TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER – TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

DEFIANT – RESISTANT
DEFINITE – CERTAIN

WANTON – DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON – IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

*slams reblog*

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT – DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’)
SLIGHT – VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

CAN I ADD TO THIS TOO?

IT’S NOT ‘COULD OF’, THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. IT’S ‘COULD HAVE’. SAME APPLIES TO ‘SHOULD HAVE’.

That last mistake gets made because of the contraction “could’ve.” So if you want the casual there ya go.

ALSO, IT’S “VOILA”, NOT “WALLA”

Reblogging for the additional of Voila.

IT’S NOT ALL RIGHT TO USE ALRIGHT IN STANDARD ENGLISH

QUITE==QUIET
as in “she was QUITE pleased on how QUIET the car was”

LOSE – WHEN A THING IS NO LONGER WHERE IT SHOULD BE

LOOSE – WHEN A THING IS NOT TIGHT

DESSERT = SOMETHING SWEET SERVED AT THE END OF A MEAL

DESERT = A LARGE, DRY BARREN REGION USUALLY HAVING SANDY OR ROCKY SOIL AND LITTLE TO NO VEGETATION.

YOU MIGHT DESERT A PERSON, IN WHICH CASE YOU ARE ABANDONING THEM IN A TRECHEROUS WAY, BUT IF YOU DESSERT THEM I AM GOING TO ASSUME YOU ARE EXHIBITING TENDENCIES HANNIBAL LECTER WOULD APPROVE OF.

ALSO, IT’S JUST DESERTS, BECAUSE IT COMES FROM AN OBSOLETE MEANING OF DESERT NAMELY SOMETHING DESERVED OR MERITED.

JUST DESSERTS MAKE ME THINK YOU EARNED A CAKE AFTER EATING.

Related to ‘could’ve’:

I COULDN’T CARE LESS – ZERO SHITS GIVEN
I COULD CARE LESS – POTENTIAL FOR SHITS TO BE GIVEN

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
