Words/Phrases That Do Not Exist

[Arlette]

I've had a long day/night at work, so forgive me, but the frustration level is high, as is the need to vent.
 
 To:  Everyone that works with me
 From:  Arlette
 Re:  Words that do not exist
 
 Per the subject line, please see below:
 
 1. Anyways: Not a word.  Remove the "s", then you're good to go..
 
 2. Supposebly: Is the letter "d" not your friend?  Do you hate "d"?  
 
 3. Mute:  actually is a word, but it means to soften, as in volume.  The word you're looking for is "moot". As in moot point.  Meaning: irrelevant.    If you say "mute point" one more time I will have to kill you.  
 
 4.  Could care less:  when you use this, the literal meaning is that you DO care. For future reference, when you want to indicate that you have no interest, the correct phrase is "Couldn't care less".  As in, "I couldn't care less about the UAE ports deal, it's all politics."  Also, see # 3 above. I will need to resort to violence if you say "I could care less" one more time when you actually mean you don't a give a shit.  
 
 Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
 
 Sincerely,
 Arlette
 (a.k.a. doesn't want to be grammar Nazi, but, get a grip!  You're an adult!  Anyway"s" was supposed to be left behind like puberty!)

You couldn't come up with more then that?  That's rediculous!

What about the word, "Musk"?

And I thought I was the only one that thought this way. How about "could of had"? As in, "I could of had a piece of toast"? It's "I could HAVE had a piece of toast"?
 
 And there's always the confusion between "their", "there", and "they're". I've seen many egregious examples of this.

I agree with the "there" and "their", I get a chuckle every time I see that one.  But I admit, I am a vicitm of the "could of had" one.  It just flows better I guess.

It makes sense when you pronounce it this way, since you're actually pronouncing the contraction, "could've"... it's only wrong when people extrapolate that pronunciation into "could of."

For all intensive purposes...

1) irregardless
 
 2) dumb jock speak - "out-physical" (what the shit is that?)
 
 3) how about the inability of people to use "ly"???  you know, as in any old adverb.

Your all a bunch of loosers.
 
 I'll admit I always mess up effect/affect though.
