I find myself doing it all the time! I really try hard to control myself, but I correct kids all day long, so I think it''s a hard habit to break. For me, right up there with seen is ain''t and don''t..."No, it ain''t," or "It don''t matter." YES, IT DOES!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!Date: 7/10/2007 1:49:44 PM

Here is a phrase that really just gets to me, and I have a family member that says it all the time: Yes, I seen that before... etc. *twitch* I have yet to correct her but I flinch a little every time she says it.
Another one is the incorrect use of ''anymore.'' DH and family do this sometimes and it also requires me to bite my tongue so as not to be rude! It''s kind of like their own little dialect because I''ve never heard anyone else use this word in the same way. Funny!
Do any of you ever catch yourself correcting people by accident? I don''t do it to be rude or arrogant, it''s just that I hear what they say and immediately correct the grammar in my head... and it seems to almost always slip out. I''ve tried to curb it, but it''s like a knee-jerk reaction.
