Oh boy. This list could be very, very long. How about my all-time UNfavorite, "nucular"?

I'll add it because a lot of people say that one, but I hesitate to let this become a list of Bushisms. :-)

Up to you--but for the record, that word drove me crazy way before the turn of the century. :-)
Oh, wait--how about asterix?

U, heard another one a couple days ago: lozenger. (As in, "My throat is a little scratchy. Do you have a lozenger?")

I am shamed to admit, but I thought that was correct too. It's one of those words that isn't used frequently enough to know better, I guess. I'll usually just say cough drop. Thanks to you, and the Power Of The Internet, for showing me the truth. And it definitely belongs on this list. :-)

Well, it does *sound* better than lozenge, in my opinion. :-)

I've always liked lozenge - it sounds like you're sucking on one already...
That or you're a gothic heroine.

I do too, trivet--but somehow it always seems to need an extra "something" at the end....

Heard another one yesterday--by the CEO of my company, no less--"renumeration" for remuneration. Eesh.
Then again...maybe he was talking about recounting all of his money?? ;-)

That's a good one... it sounds like it could be a word, too...

Oh, sure it could--as in "renumbering" something. Makes perfect sense. But trust me; this CEO didn't know that....

Obviously, that alternate definition is a product of the liberal media. I don't buy it.
