Ridiculously irritating thing of the day:

People who treat the word Halloween as Hallo-ween rather than Hallow-een and then proceed to make up words like "Jesus-ween" or "sexy-ween" or "Howl-o-ween" (this is a selection of things I've actually seen; I'm not intending to comment on the content intended).

It is All Hallows Eve(ning); the 'w' is part of "hallows" not "evening".

I just... don't understand why people do this.


(Also I've decided I'm going to try to post one thing that's been bugging me/on my mind/happens to sound interesting every day in November; instead of trying to write a novel which clearly would not work).

I have never thought that there is no such thing as chocohol and workahol before, but now you point it out it is so obviously wrong! :-) Yay for lazy language joy.

Whereas I've often heard people complaining that someone's on the workahol again when they're working too much, etc... huzzah for bizarre linguistic re-formations :)
