I love "vaca" for "vacay," especially when someone says she's having one.

SHE'S HAVING A COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one kills me.

"We're going on a vaca to Hawaii!"

That is one fancy, swimming cow you've got there.

[shostakovich]

The vaca thing also makes me bonkers.

You can't just abbreviate every word effectively, people. It might work while talking, but not once you type it out.

The misuse of the apostrophe around here makes me want to stab people! 

[karmasabiotch]

I've been confusing my eat, ate, and eaten IRL. It's awful. I have had to avoid the word entirely when I found out I have been screwing it up.

I think the best thing about being an English teacher is that people routinely proofread their shit before they send it to me because of the "grammar Nazi" stereotype.

Which is, in this case, 1000% accurate.

[polka]

I guess I'll throe some out their, two:


couldn't care less =/= could care less
should/could/would have =/= should/could/would of

[mskitkat]

The one that drives me batty is intents and purposes. Intensive purposes is something else entirely.

loose =/= lose

People do not loose weight. I HATE that. There's a Jenny Craig place near here that has a "Loose Weight This Summer!" sign out front that just pisses me off.

You should vandalize it.

Or burn it, a simple defacing is too good for it.

It would take everything in my power to not spray paint that sign with the correct word and then tape a sign on the whole thing with "Fixed that for you" in big red letters.

[psychmom]

My mom spells tomorrow wrong. Tomarrow. Every.single.time. The vein in my neck bulges a little each time. It might be more from the fact that my mom is on facebook. But still.

I wish this were true for me, too.

Let's not forget:

lose is not spelled loose; tenets are not the same as tenants; defiantly is not the way to spell definitely.

I'm a total grammar nazi, but I like vaca. I don't like vacay.

Also, people who put a question mark at the end of a statement make me want to push them off a bridge.

But it means cow. Do you want to go on a cow?

[FastHands]

Huh. I never really thought of vaca vs vacay. I mean, vaca is technically shortening it, and the random y actually annoys me. I just say freaking vacation though, because really, is it that hard?

Split infinitives irk the shit out of me, even though I'm guilty myself sometimes.

Ugh and "could of" makes me SO angry. Lol

I like cows...

No, I just think of it as a shortened form of vacation. Vacay looks stupid to me. Vaca does not.
