Is this legal grounds to kill someone?

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.

I used to say “sir-tull”.

Pls no kill.

Yes, the correct pronunciation is KaTarl

I felt that way about a previous boss and his use of the non-word “irregardless”.

Good idea. I might just start calling it the “central key”, just to fuck with people.

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 came here to make an ALT facts joke, but I’m trying to decide whether or not you just beat me to it.

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.

central key is the space bar right?... i mean its right in the middle...

also where the fuck is the any key?

Fair enough, usually I hear “irregardless” in place of where “regardless” should go.

Don’t get too worked up. In a professional setting, you need to central yourself.

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.

Came here to mention this particular word misuse, found my point had been rendered moot, cried until I was mute.

Hmmm, I think kill might be an overreaction. Try this first:

My manager kept saying “providence” instead of “province” when talking about Canada. My eye still twitches a bit.

Same. But there are sometimes a dozen negatives in those sentences. How the hell am I supposed to interpret that?

My wife use to be in banking and have a coworker that was very bad at pronouncing ‘arrears’. Staying composed in client meetings was apparently difficult.

You should do what my coworker does: run it up the flagpole and see what falls out.

Goddam. Etc. (etcetera) It’s pronounced ‘Et-seter-Ah’...

Little strokes begin when I hear it on a TV show, some detective or any other character, “ exsetera , exsetera, exsetera ...”

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.

Be careful though, I think my set doesn’t work. I keep hitting the ‘beer’ key, but nothing’s happening.

I don’t know how many times I’ve had people ask me questions about their “UBS” (which could be any USB device or port), or their “Linkski” (which is any box that sits between their computer and the cable/DSL line).

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!

Newbie at work keeps calling reference numbers “referral numbers”. Which I guess is correct in a sense, but it makes me uncomfortable.
