25 years ago, if you read in a news magazine somewhere that an AV installer in some part of the USA misspelled some things once, your panties would never bind up (I am not singling you out Ernie....I refer to everyone). But today? With the internet? WTF happened?
Well, it's not just you guys. I just watched The Good Wife where a defense attorney stated, and the closed captioning showed the spelling, that the attorney exercised her right to a preemptory challenge.
Good old Hollywood. It's peremptory.
It's memento, not momento. Something you remEmber, not remOmber.
It's hone your skills, as in polish;
It's home in on something, not hone in on something.
It's center on, not center around; if you're in the center you can't be around anything.
Et cetera.
Speaking of which, it's et cetera, not ek cetera; and
asterisk has an s near the beginning and an s near the end, not just the one at the beginning.
At the peril of repeating myself,
Et cetera.
