"Only you can make yourself feel guilty." This is not true - what is true is that only you can stop yourself from feeling guilty, which is totally different and much harder.
"Dialated." Your cervix is not a telephone.
"Loose" instead of "lose" and vice-a versa. The former is confusing and the latter is irritating.
"No offense but" and all similar variations on the theme.
Thank you. (And you can all stop saying "Thankyou" while you're about it, and all).

Date: 2006-08-07 11:16 pm (UTC)As far as "No offense, but"...if you have to preface something by that, it's a safe bet that you SHOULDN'T SAY IT. (Same for "I'm not racist, but.." or "I'm not a homophobe, but..." and other variations)
