Profound thoughts of tremendous benefit or consequence to the public discourse have long been contributed by Great American leaders.

"Mischievous" is often mispronounced miss-chee-vee-ous (it's miss-chi-vuss) by people who like to add syllables to words for some reason, like the ABC news talker this AM repeatedly saying "preventative" when the real word is simply "preventive".

"Preventive" is generally favoured in American English, whereas "Preventative" is the more common in British English usage. Neither, however, is incorrect.

Incorrect use of terms, like "6 AM in the morning",  "8 PM tonight", "ATM machine" or "V.I.N. number" tend to make the speaker look ignorant and drives me nuts.

Nuts to folks who use "irregardless" for "regardless" on either side of the pond, but the Brits seem to like to say "aluminium" while we say "aluminum"...both of which also seem to be correct depending on location.

"Without a clue" must be a pretty popular way to go through life, 'cause there sure are a lot of folks who fit the description.

Loud exhausts used to raise the ire of the cops, but today, with patrol car windows up and AC on, it pretty much seems to be anything goes 'round here...especially diesels, recent Mopars and Mustangs, Harleys, and anything running a fartcan.
