You're never too old or too knowledgeable to not struggle with apostrophes.

Or at least I will never be.

'download', 'upgrade' and general internet terminology that has slipped into the vernacular can fuck off.

When else do people use the word "download" apart from when they're talking about downloading?

Records are 'released' not 'dropped'

No one I work with can use these words correctly: access, assess. Its really not difficult. There are various other examples of confused words used by my colleagues. It basically means that everyday my boss makes me re-write their reports.

i lost it with a colleague a few years back over his constant use of the word 'specific'; he loved it, and used it all the time. except he pronounced it as 'pacific'.

 

[jonah]

Agh! Yes!
