A friend of mine works in a call centre and today had a little tiff with a customer. A customer who obviously likes to throw big words around, but who doesn’t understand what they mean. This sentence she quoted me creased me up:
“Right, OK. I won’t speak ‘hypothetically’ since you have such a problem with it but let’s just say…”
In the words of the great Homer J.: “D’oh!”

That sentence makes my brain hurt, and makes me want to share that pain with the speaker.
(Just getting caught up on blogs.)
My eyes started to cross when she first told me. Stupidity by osmosis.
