When people say, "you can't have your cake and eat it too". Of course I can. I have my cake, then I eat it. It is properly said "you can't eat your cake, and have it too".
Also people who pronounce the "t" in "often".
People who say, "that's not my "forte" prnouncing it as "fortay". It is pronounced Fort.It is French. When pronounced Fortay, it is Italian and a musical term meaning loud and/or forceful.
What are yours?
Oh, there was a thread here titled "can you be a police officer and have epilepsy? Should have read, "can you have epilepsy and THEN be a police officer?"
