yes, it’s true; i have many pet peeves. inappropriate lower-case spelling on blogs is not one of them. but mispronouncing words is one. i repeatedly come across folks in the blogosphere who cannot let go of that pesky “s” that keeps magically appearing at the end of “Revelation” (as in the book… of the Bible… you know; the one at the end). So, to the list:
Words and their common misuses:
-
Valentimne’s Day
-
Psalms such-and-such (i.e. Psalms 81)
-
(The) Revelations (to John)
-
Lib(r)ary
-
From Foolish Sage – the mis-capitalization of ‘biblical’ when used as an adjective. for example, “i want to have a Biblical world view”.
