CRINGE - FAYETTE COUNTY TALK - ADDENDUM




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".
