I use to tell my seniors at school all the time, there is no such word as
gots. Now I tell my son-in-law.

OK, here's another...and I hear the wrong word on TV all the
time..........is it "less" or "fewer" -- do you know when to use the
correct
word?
I hear things like "there are less soldiers" and "he had less votes" --
newsflash, folks, in both cases, the correct word would be "fewer,"
because
few (or fewer) is for things that can be counted, and "less" for things
that
can't be counted.........i.e.: Less space means fewer seats.
.
Grrrrrrrrr
I have to shut this down...more and more things keep coming to
mind........not fewer things, more things!!!
LOL
