I haven't published any "CRINGE--FAYETTE COUNTY TALK" items lately. Here are a few new ones for the collection:
ANYWAYS instead of ANYWAY
SPOILT instead of SPOILED
PID-GENTS instead of PIGEONS
PUNDINT instead of PUNDIT
ACROSSED instead of ACROSS
FEBYUARY instaed of FEBRUARY
USED TO instead of USE TO
REOCCUR instead of RECUR
Someone, in discussing a crochet project, mentioned that she had 20 "motifs" completed. Unfortunately she pronounced it "mot-iff" instead of "Moe-teef".
