I am currently nauseated (but definitely not nauseous) every time I hear or read the word-----YUMMY!!!!! Not only on this list, although the use of the word is rampant here, but also TV, radio and newspapers are overdoing this trite word. Like, I go----I can't stand it :P

Daughter was watching Rachel Ray yesterday. I hate it when she says "yummo"!

Was on another forum and kept reading about the "ordainments" on this woman's Christmas tree. I don't know if she was making a joke or what.

On many forums I have seen people confuse the words "wandering" and "wondering".

I've seen that people went to the store and "baught" something.

And one that I've heard far too much of lately is, "Really?", said in a screeching tone of voice.

I can't stand Presidential bad language....."I am going ta work with.." instead of "to".

George #43 was famous for that and now Obama is closely following. A better example should be set.

This one is huge on my list: when people say FUSStrated instead of frustrated. "Oh, I'm getting so fusstrated with my child lately" GRRRRRRRRR!!

another one is when grown adults say "woof" instead of wolf. OH!! and JAG-WIRE instead of jaguar. okay, I might be able to go on all day about this!

I can't stand when people put sounds into words that don't belong. My MIL ends the word safe with a t. It drives me nuts!!! I understand that geographic pronunciation varies, but adding a completely new sound to an existing word is a bit of a stretch... I believe this is called an epenthesis. (There, you learned a new word for today!)

FUSStrated

...or FLUSTRATED - a combination of flustered and frustrated.

Ohhhhhh I just thought of another one!!!! IRREGARDLESS!!!! Do people not realize that isn't a word at all?? regard-LESS means having no regard, so, you ad IR to the front of it and what? it's like twice as much no regard??? that'd be like saying "you are so irrationaless!

Two pet peeves, both associated with sport: ath-a-lete; and TV sports commentators down here announcing that someone is making his "day-boo" for the country. If you are going to use a french word, at least pronounce it right. OH, and also fill-it for fillet, while we're about it.

:lol: I'll have you know it's work to fracture the language the way we do over there! :lol: I'm normally very particular about my spelling, grammar, and punctuation so I usually have to go back through what I have just typed to "silly it up". :P

It's fun, though, and can take the edge off of a bad day ;) Come join us!

When people say I "seen" it instead of I "saw" it. Or when they say I "could" care less instead of I "could'nt" care less.

I've only seen this one recently (past four years or so), but it really annoys me when people say "that's a mute point". It is not a point unable to communicate. It is a MOOT point. As in "The adj. senses of "debatable" and "not worth considering" arose from moot case, earlier simply moot (n.) "discussion of a hypothetical law case" (1531), in law student jargon, in ref. to students gathering to test their skills in mock cases" (Open Original Shared LinkWikipedia, if you prefer.).

There are a couple other ones like this, where people use a homophone instead of the proper word. The texting equivalent of this (u for you) in non-texting contexts also drives me batty.

Ok since we are on a Celiac forum, I don't get why people call Celiac...Celiacs? Where did that "s" come from? I have Celiacs disease? No, it's Celiac, there is no s. :blink:

My best friend since I was eight, she says fixing dinner. I use to ask her if dinner was broken. She would glare at me....hehe. I love her! But I have to tease her. She does the same thing with Walmart or Target, it's Walmarts or Targets...where the heck are all these "s" coming from??? <_<

LOL fun post! B)

Ooooh, this is fun! Loved reading all the responses.

I know this has already been said, but it bears repeating. Using "like" for every other word is annoying as hell.

But what is even more annoying? When it comes from a 35 year old woman trying to be cool and talk like her kids.

Oh, and I'm not a big fan of "I know, right?" at the end of every sentence. Sorry, I have friends who do this, and it just annoys the crap out of me!

My husband, who grew up in the country in the south, would cook a ham and always said that "we could eat on it" all week. (With tiny table and chairs). You can take the man out of the country, but.... :rolleyes:

How about using the word "absolutely" far too much when a simple "yes" would do nicely??

OHHHH..this is right up my alley. Being from the Northeast, having moved south was quite an adjustment. One syllable words are two, and vice versa. (that's one right there people saying visA versa...VICE versa) or Real A tor, instead of REAL tor. At a job I had for the longest time I thought a man at work's name was DEEK. It was actually Dick. And FayETville is pronounced FATEville. Hell and Hail are both pronounced the same. And instead of "I could use a drink" I MIGHT could use a drink! (HUH?)

Someone who AKS a question instead of ASKING makes me almost explode.

This is fun... :P

I maybe could think this was funny, if I didn't live in the thick of 'em.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
