Brilliance exceeded.

[velvett]

I was walking by the fax machine today looking to see if there were any faxes waiting for me.

And that's where I saw it...in fax from my boss to a client.


PERSEVERATING...


That word?
What word is this?
Is it perhaps a typo of preserving?


.....LOOKS LIKE I'M THE BUTTHEAD THAT NEEDS A NEW DICTIONARY. WHO KNEW? SEE, AN OLD DOG CAN LEARN TRICKS

 

[naturally anabolic]

tell her.

 

[WODIN]

Just tell her you admire her ability to Perserverate! It'll catch on and in six months websters will have a listing for it on there website.

 

[danielson]

do you think she meant persistant?

either way i'd slap her about a bit, its the only way she'll learn

 

[naturally anabolic]

i bet her and gee-dubbya bush would definately have a good time. Perserverate and stratigery!

 

[The Shadow]

Hehehehehe...buy her one of those word-per-day calendar.

I kinda like it...it has a certain air about it..."PRESERVATE" like a more active form of preserve which sounds very passive....

[rudedawg]

How was the word used? Maybe she is misspelling perseverating.

 

[big4life]

Buy her a dictionary.

Of course if you say something you could end up having to proofread all her stuff



And they make you do too much, as it is.

 

[rudedawg]

Ok what word is it:

And that's where I saw it...in fax from my boss to a client.


PERSEVERATING...

Or is it this one?????????????


PERSERVERATING.

So what's politically correct?

Letting your boss say & write words that don't exist (while fighting off the fits of hysteria) or do you tell her - look chickola DAT WORD DON'T exist!

Politically correct would be to make sure she is wrong before you tell her she is.

Maybe you can get her to proof read your stuff? j/k

 

[HappyScrappy]

if you go to google and enter a word, it will usually correct it if it is wrong and tell you that it did so - if it is right, at the top it will show an underlined version of it in the blue bar.
if you click on that link, it will bring you to that word in dictionary.com

fun for the whole family
