Say This, Not That

Everyone has a pet peeve when it comes to little speech patterns we hear in others.

Maybe you cringe when you hear people add an unnecessary "s" to the store they shop at; perhaps your mom was a stickler for "good" and "well." Surely we've all heard someone respond to a bathroom request with, "I don't know, CAN you?" Har har har.

For me, it's something a co-worker pointed out in a conversation about how people misuse similar sounding words that mean completely different things.

For me, it's "hilarious" and "hysterical," and I've enlisted Will Ferrel to help illustrate the difference.

VS.

That's all. Wasn't that easy?

I feel so much better now.
