Pet Peeves

Everyone has their own little twinge of irritation at something or another.  Mine is simple and sometimes excruciating.  There are a few words (three big ones come to mind) that an exceedingly loud portion of the population either misuse or have completely made up: "expecially; expresso; and supposably."  

Just typing those words grates against my ears.  Expecially and expresso are simply not words and whoever uses them slips down the mountain of intelligence a few steps.   More than a few if they happen to be a teacher.  

I think that some people believe that the words "supposedly" and "probably" had a torrid affair and created "supposably" which supposedly means the same thing.  They didn't and it doesn't.  

Maybe if people read more books and watched less American Top Survivor they would get it.
