When referring to the CTRL key on a keyboard, my coworker says “Central” instead of “Control”. Multiple people have corrected her but she keeps doing it. Every time she says it I have a tiny rage-stroke.

Our federal employee manager (we’re contractors) says “mute” instead of “moot” and “council” instead of “console”
Drives me crazy.

To be fair, I was 12 (so the monster assessment is spot on). And I was relentlessly made fun of by my peers for it. So much so that to this day I am very OCD about calling it control. I can’t look at the key without my brain chanting control, control, control to me.

I feel like I hear that word so much now, it’s actually a word. It doesn’t matter what people say about it being a word or not, people using it and understanding its mean makes it a word; regardless, of whether or not it makes me cringe a little bit.

I agree. But I don’t always understand its meaning. Sentences it’s in are often so poorly constructed that they could be interpreted multiple ways. When this boss was around, miscommunication was at an all time high.

CTRL is just the physical form of a URL. It’s also the longwheel base version of the midengine Cadillac that will debut in Detroit. Everytime you hit CTRL it lets GM know that you want a midengine car, that’s why I hold mine down.

Of..... if we talk about all the console for the IT management tools we use and support. It’s embarrassing to sit on a call and listen to her tell 50-75 participants on a call that there is a new URL to the “encryption recovery council”
I want to ask “Who are they?” every time she says it.

What kills me is that even if it were actually a real word, it would literally mean “not without regard”, which is exactly the opposite of what people use it to mean.

Ran in to a meeting with my boss after reading this post. He was talking about high level team and company strategy…and instead of the word “tenet” he kept saying “tenant”.
Our business has absolutely nothing to do with renting property…unless that is something new we’re diversifying in to that I’m yet to hear about!
