Arrrgh!!!

If one more educated person, just one more, says "supposebly", I will take a life. Maybe, my own.

What the hell?

Like fingernails on a chalkboard, when I hear ass clowns who say "irregardless", and douchebags who order "expresso", I become absolutely apoplectic. I hate it when someone is too dense to pronounce their words correctly.

Language is the currency of the educated man and woman. These idiots are broke.

As an aside, I don't believe, even for a moment, that these folks meant to say "supposable". They aren't that smart.
