'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
why does this thread title have a capitalised C, S and G yet the 'and' is in lower case?
why do you spell capitalized with an "s"?
I believe Scotland invented that word, so I'll spell it the proper way if you don't mind!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I heard someone today say ofTen. How do you pronounce it? I pronounce it with a silent T.
ha's jus supid Ziggysar.

Ohhhh I just saw another one on the Porch ....this one really annoys me and I do not understand AT ALL why people say it.
ANYWHO
wtf is anywho? Can someone please explain it to me?
Glad to. I don't know how it was used on the Porch but anywho may be one of those words we just use in the States. It's informal or slang. It means anyhow, at any rate, anyway. As far as I can remember, it's been around since at least the 70s and it's just meant as a playful way of saying it in conversation. It really comes across better when you're speaking, because instead of someone saying, "anyhow," you hear, "anyhoo," as in "Anyhoo, that's what they told me," or "Anyhoo, great talking with you but I'd better be getting back to work." Since I heard the word before I ever saw it written, it never occurred to me to think of it as referring to a person but I can see why it would be confusing.
If you want to get all grammatical, it's an adverb, not a pronoun. :geek:
Also, anywho.com (almost no relation to this discussion) is a handy web site for looking up phone numbers and addresses. :ugeek:
I think whoprincess is right about the nature of people using "anyhoo" merely as a variation of "anyhow." It's similar to when people speak with playful accents (country or something else) to be silly with their friends.

For example-->
Doncha think?
Whatcha doin'?
Gotta git goin'!
indeed.....and that is so me. well, not the 'gotta git goin', hahaha....but the rest, i use, and type here, OFTEN. i use anyhoo a LOT. anyone who reads many of my posts is probably well aware of that. same with doncha, sayin', etc, etc....it's just casual and breezy convo imo.

I'm kind of a stickler with spelling. I hate when you are reading something and every other word is misspelled. It's distracting.But I'm guilty of sloppy grammar at times. :oops:
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

I was reminded of this thread when reading the transcript from a documentary last evening. I know that someone else in this thread mentioned this as a pet peeve, people who use 'like' as every second word, or 'you know,' and I just had to post an excerpt from this interview
Um, well, I think that's a really...that's like saying, I don't know, let's see, what would be a...kind of because it's a taboo thing, you know. Like, that's like saying, everyone with a tattoo is a drug addict. You know. Every guy that buys a Corvette is going through a mid-life crisis, you know, like, I would say that when you're new there are people in every industry anywhere that is willing to take advantage of you. But it's like, kinda like there's levels of the industry, and there's levels of people that you want to work with, you know what I mean?

Oh my. I received an invite to a 40th Birthday party the other day that said:
“Your Invited!” and “Adult’s only”
Wow. These were professionally printed invites! Clearly the person hosting this event believes it to be of some importance if she made the effort of selecting nice invitations and having them printed on beautiful cardstock. Too bad she doesn’t know how to use the English language properly. Sadder than that, I bet I’m just one of a small percentage who actually noticed the errors!

Loudly. It bugs me that people don't seem to know the difference between adverbs and adjectives any more. (I don't mean you.)
