Stupid things people say...

[tk2kewl]

What are some things that you have heard people say that show how ridiculously stupid or ignorant they are. We're not talking politics here; just any old thing.

Tech related stupidities heard recently:

• Can you get me a password so I can log onto the porthole?


• No one in our department is computer illiterate. But it's great: I just hired a 21 year old guy who is completely computer illiterate!

1. computer illiterate is an accepted phrase ...

do a search on google.

Porthole is another story.

2. he was using it in reverse

he meant that he just hired a computer wiz. although under bush i could see illiterate coming to mean just the opposite

3. So when is your baby due?

Unless a woman is wearing a shirt that say's "BABY" with an arrow pointing to her stomach, do not....Repeat....do not ask that question.

4. "Ekcetera."

I know what it's supposed to mean, but the word is "etcetera".

Oh, and add the ever popular "nucular" to that list. Even folks for whom it is not a regionalism are now saying it in solidarity with president Stupid of Connecticut, Harvard, and Yale.

6. How about when people write "ect." when they mean "etc."?

That's a pet peeve that drives me up the wall!
