Sayings that irk me
So, there are common sayings that have two ways of wording them that rub me the wrong way when I hear the expression worded a particular way. Two cases: 1. Standing "online" instead of "inline". Most everywhere I've been there is no line painted on the floor to stand "on" and I'm certainly not standing on top of anyone. Instead, I am standing "in" a line of people. 2. A "bald" faced lie instead of "bold" faced. How does someone have a bald face when it comes to their intention, shave it? Instead I was taught bold face, as a person is being pretty bold to lie to your face. Yea, I'm being a bit grammar eccentric but makes me cringe a bit when I hear them. Anyone have others? And happy voting day! Sure glad the political ads will be over although they'll probably start up with the 2020 ones before we get a real rest from it.
