Slight pet peeve.
May. 4th, 2007 05:09 pmThe misuse of "freshman"/"freshmen" kind of bugs me. I've seen some use the word "freshman" for the plural meaning of the word (e.g. "There are too many freshman"), and I've seen some use the word "freshmen" for the singular meaning of the word (e.g. "I'm glad I'm not a freshmen anymore"). I usually loathe Internet pedantry, generally speaking, but I've seen this quite a bit lately, and I just had to get it off my chest. Similarly, I've seen the word "ridiculous" so often misspelled as "rediculous" lately, as well. That one gets under my skin, too.
