In Cleveland, you’ll find the “at” at the end of sentences. My former Senior Executive Producer got me crazy over the usage of “at”. For some reason, it’s okay here in Northeast Ohio to end your sentence with a preposition.
I don’t want to be a grammar nazi, which my family already believes I am, but I even catch myself saying it. I was just listening to Q104 and the DJ even used the phrase. My other big pet peeves are “saw/seen”, “was/were”, “say, says, said” and “wash”.
What are the things people say that drive you crazy?
Two turntables and a microphone?
I hate it when people misspell their name…
when people try to use a poetic aphorism but don’t get it right.
“people coming out of the wood works (sic)”
when people mispronounce again.
