Being a teacher, im a tad on the picky side when it comes to misspoken words. THere have been so many times that i just wanted to go up the person and correct them( being polite, i decided against that). A friend of mine says SUPPOSEBLY all the time in her conversations. I am sure she is completely unconscious of it. SUPPOSEDLY is what she means to say. Hearing the term CENT instead of CENTS in refering to more than one cent is another commonplace occurrance. Going to the theatre they seem to have a language all their own. WHnever someone entrs a room, everyone else says HOLLER! with an emphasis on the last two letters. It all fascintes me -Emily
