I put the Star Trek on my list.

Drug? That's plain stupid! It would annoy me, it is dragged!!!!!

You might get used to your cell, Sun. Took me a long time after using one with a keyboard but I'm not so bad now.

Does this bother anyone else besides me.  Using drug for dragged.  For example... that job drug on for so long that... or that job dragged on for so long that... 
That first example doesn't even make sense to me and I heard it from my boss.  I was taught the past tense of drag is dragged.  Drug just sounds weird and incorrect.
.

Yes, drives me insane whether the person uses drug or drugged when they should be using dragged.   The verb 'to drug' means to administer a drug to (someone) in order to induce stupor or insensibility.

Another one that drives me cuckoo is when somebody types "bare with me" instead of "bear with me".  I'm willing to exercise patience while you go into a long explanation, but I'm not about to get naked with you.
 

oscar, I'm with you on there, their and they're...started to post that myself.  There are so many more that I cringe when I see them but guess they weren't paying attention in English class.

Another BIP watcher here but my tolerance was almost pushed to the limit with the Josh/Amanda stuff Monday night.  I feel so sorry for her because he is just going to use her...doesn't strike me as someone who wants to become an instant daddy to two little girls.  Wished they had muted him!!  Also, hate to admit this but psycho Chad is from my HOME TOWN!!  I was watching the follow up show and couldn't believe that he actually said he was sad that he wouldn't get to be the next bachelor, as if they would even choose him; afraid the ratings would drop, I would hope.

Yea another watcher.  Love this summer trainwreck! The slurping and moaning Tee! way ott.  I imagine Amanda will be pretty embarrassed watching that. Him probably not.  And I am embarrassed for Evan, just walk away Evan, walk. away.

Oh and there is Daniel, dumb as a bag of rocks. But somehow oddly endearing in his awkward way, and totally befuddling speech,

I do love the cheeseball opening number and a shout out to Jorge!  Glad to have him back.

Yes, probably I will.  My DiL was just saying how a few years ago that there was a variety of cell phones to choose from and today they all look the same.

I don't know Oscar, I don't think schools are teaching homophones at all or hardly at all.  I just saw someone use the word witch to start a sentence.  Which reminds me of a saying I knew from my youth.  Which witch is which?

I think we all have our guilty pleasure shows.  Mine is Storage Wars.  A bunch of people in California bid on storage units that have been abandoned.  I find the show very funny...better than any sitcom.

I think Wendy was saying something about the weather.  I feel for you being outdoors in that horrible humidity.  My area was 75% humidity and 90 degree temps.  It is awful!  Hope your new place has better weather.
