CRINGE: RECENT FAYETTE COUNTY TALK

A friend reminded me that I had not posted a "CRINGE" article for quite some time and she told me that she had seen:

BOMB FIRE rather than BONFIRE posted on a couple of Facebook sites.

In keeping with the time of the year:

CONGRATULATIONS: I saw "Congradulations" on a local billboard. I have also heard it pronounced: "kun-graj-you-lay-shuns".

ALUMNI, ALUMNA, ALUMNAE, ALUMNUS: numerous errors.

In other Facebook postings:

IT'S when it should be ITS.

SUPPOSE TO when it should be SUPPOSED TO; that goes along with SUPPOSABLY instead of SUPPOSEDLY!

USE TO when it should be USED TO.

ACCESSORY: I heard someone pronounce it "uh-cess-uh-ree"
