Nov. 1st, 2012 10:02 amRidiculously 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).
