<< Finally, on the mis- pronunciation tip, I cannot control myself when one tells me he is "FUStrated.">> How do you feel about "flustrated?" It's kind of cute, if you think of it as meaning so frustrated you are flustered. It just isn't a word. Yet.

Quahog: RE: "presumably" versus "presumedly." I've never used "presumedly", so I really can't comment on which is preferred. While we're on the pronunciation topic (which may be "off topic"), here's another one I hear often: "supposably". A big cause of all of our peeves is likely the markedly reduced time spent on reading by our population, surely because of television. But I will be the first to accept that we have two languages, a written or formal form and a spoken or informal form. This we must accept. Message 3018338 Jack
