A couple pet peeves...

[Hordo]

From a recent thread

CANNON


DOES NOT EQUAL

CANON
can·on Noun
1. A member of the clergy on the staff of a cathedral, esp. a member of the chapter.
2. A general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged
*emphasis added.

This is compounded by:

ROUGE


DOES NOT EQUAL

ROGUE
rogue/rōg/
Verb: Remove inferior or defective plants or seedlings from (a crop).
Noun: A dishonest or unprincipled [person].
*emphasis added.

And a tad less infuriating:

TOMB


DOES NOT EQUAL

TOME
(from the wiki)
A tome is a special book that will permanently increase the Ability stat that it effects.
*emphasis added.


There, that is my rant for the year.

And now you can contribute your pet peeves!

You also failed to point out "irregardless" is also incorrect. It's just plain old "regardless."



Not only that, but voodoogroves was just trying to be funny.

Someone gets it ;-) I tried to cram in more, but that would have been too obvious.

Now I'll just remind everyone that "drow" is pronounced correctly like "bow" and see where that leads ...

Not completely accurate, irregardless is correct just no longer a common form.
