Re: Word use that drives you up the wall!

You're welcome!
It isn't such a pet peeve when non professional writers or speakers do it.
Even My Old Lady does it now and then. :lol::

Re: Word use that drives you up the wall!

It may have been covered on one of the previous 22 pages, but one that drives me nuts and is often done by professional writers and speakers is:

disinterested <> (does not equal) uninterested

People seems to use disinterested to mean having no interest in something as opposed to its real meaning of being impartial.
