Fun with Words, NOT!
Today, I reviewed a report by a colleague who was doing an Indoor Air Quality investigation. He stated that the hallway was finished in "Wayne's Coating". I emailed him back and said that I thought the word that he was thinking about was "wainscoting".
A few weeks ago, the same guy wrote in a report that the "duck tape" on the HVAC was peeling off. Not the "duct tape". I don't think it was a typo either, (quack, quack).

Well, there could be a good reason for the confusion about the tape:
Original Strength 60 yd Duct Tape | Duck® Brand

Driving home from work every day I passed a sign from a landscape company that was hiring. The sign read, "Now excepting applications". It took them over a month to finally correct it.

Those kinds of things are "defiantly" irritating. I see that on this site pretty often.

Cogito Ergo Sum

There was a listing for a house here recently that started out, "Owner Sez, sell this house". Seriously? You expect a commission for advertising like a high schooler!!!!

There is no way they're going to sell their house. Probably the most misused words today.

I had a VP of purchasing refer to the size of something as "linear square footage".

G'day!

I had a regional manager once who put out a voice mail for our region about an approaching hurricane.
Used the tern BLUNT of the storm (instead of BRUNT). We were rolling on the floor....
