Now what's wrong with dewormed? I think that's a correct usage. Vets say it. The bottle of dewormer says it. It's more technically correct (de-worming would be removing worms, yes? If you "wormed" your pet, wouldn't that be putting worms in them? ). But I agree about spaded and dethawed though. Dethawed doesn't even make sense; if you de-thawed it, wouldn't that be freezing it? :tongue2: And it particularly annoys me when people say they had a male pet spaded. Um no. Wrong on 2 counts :lol3:.Spayded
Dethawed
Dewormed
Do not exist outside of a trailer park.

Misplaced apostrophes. No, you are not selling apple's. Especially bad when used by people who should know better. I saw a note from my nephew's teacher with several misspellings and misplaced apostrophes. I don't know what they're teaching them in college.
Misuse of "I" because they think it sounds smarter. "The boss met with Mark and I". No. And misuse of "myself" is even worse! "The boss met with Mark and myself". No! It's not wrong to say "me" sometimes.
The correct term is "wormed." Common usage doesn't make it correct.Now what's wrong with dewormed? I think that's a correct usage. Vets say it. The bottle of dewormer says it.

Your/you're. Someone texted me today "Your doing great!". Ergh.

Interesting tidbit: Sometimes common usage DOES make it correct over time.

I don't think I've heard these before, but I have heard the opposite one: "Me and my friend went to the party."Bob and I went to the meeting. (Would you say "Myself went to the meeting?" No)
The books belong to Bob and me. (Would you say "The books belong to myself?" No. At least I hope not.)
Why is that so difficult to understand??
I literally cracked up reading that.
Literally. It is now considered "cool" to insert "literally" into sentences, and they make zero sense. "I literally died laughing". Good for you, I hope you find a nice grave site to be buried in. "I literally rolled on the floor laughing". Unless I see a video of you doing that, you did not laugh while you rolled on the floor like a rolling pin. "I literally cannot believe she said that". As opposed to, what, figuratively disbelieving? That doesn't even make sense. "I literally made dinner". What else does "make dinner" mean?
For you, I will let it slide past.And catspaw66, I beg of you, please don't tell me I sound like Dubya, even if I do.
