A malapropism is the misuse of similar sounding words, especially with humorous results. Norm Crosby, the comedian has a fine career from doing just that!
Which when you have a hearing impairment or auditory discrimination problems it is not that funny,… but here I am speaking of the former. I too have been guilty of doing this in the written word and in speaking too, but I have been told my hearing is no longer perfect.
May I ask the rest of the world why we think we have grammar and spell check systems built into our WORD programs?
It never picks up the differences in homonyms in the context of the body of the written work, there or their, plain or plane, are just two that it has never ever picked up to my knowledge, but wait there are more, they’re, Ta Da! And many more that elude me at this time…
Sadly, in my last night’s published post I did not pick up on another; ‘diseased’ instead of ‘deceased’ was written without me realizing that horrid mistake while speaking of Princess Diana! Of course, I reread it this morning and corrected it, but I supposedly have grammar check, but why didn’t it detect that; so way off, but in its wee brain I suppose it could be correct?
It baffles me why ‘they’ have the nerve to call it a ‘grammar check’; and I do know it is not as capable as a human editor, but what is one to do?
I always spell and grammar check with this WORD program that I write initially on here, nightly, before I copy and paste it to publish and I do believe I reread again and again, but GEEZ, I am only a one-eyed human and somehow, someway I always seem to find more mistakes, after! How embarrassing!
I am not that stupid, (keep your personal thoughts to yourself please) but I lose a little more of the brightness in my bulb whenever these oopses occur. (Again, leave that alone too)
And I was so thrilled to get nearly three times the hits of interest on last night’s blog offering, but now I don’t know if it was to make fun of my stupidity or to enjoy what I did write right, got that?
Moving on… and I do hope that this will be grammatically correct…
More aggravation from those if you need me to do anything for you medical suppliers of no other choice caretakers, ha!
I mailed in a prescription for my Dexilant 60 mg. for my GERD and that does not allow me to choke in my sleep medication, on June 4th to the company that I am receiving it from with the prescription I received from the doctor at the health department. But brilliant medical school practicing for decade’s doc did not put the quantity on it and he’s the one that told me that I should be dead if I had had MS for thirty years; my cousin is not dead and was diagnosed when she was twenty-seven and is now sixty-four!
Any-who, I do not like him and now when the fax for the mistake was sent out on the fifteenth to him, the company insisted that they did not receive my mailed out prescription until the thirteenth and it takes them twenty-four to forty-eight hours to process, and yet when they faxed my doctor last week, seven days ago on the fifteenth they did not receive a response until yesterday, mind you by fax!
Sunday night I will be out of this medication that keeps me from choking in my sleep and I am at my wits end.
They did take pity on me and said they will ship it over night that is over Monday night meaning I should receive it by Tuesday! Monday night is my worry.
I did what I was told, I mailed it within the time constraints I was told to do…and yet I have found depending on others never seems to work!
But I did call before tonight, on the fourteenth and they said that they received it the day before and that I should have it before I ran out!
Am I crazy or is this not right?
Watch how you answer this; most probably would say yes to both, but take a breath and rethink, I beg.
Hubby suggested that I try and call Monday for them to send a prescription for one pill to my pharmacist to hold me over, but I doubt they would do that…!
They don’t like me, since I don’t like how they treat me and I seem to have no other choice financially to go elsewhere… But maybe that is why they tried to charge me that $130.40 for my bill thinking it would make me try elsewhere?
Sure some places charge less I know my own neuro charges around $42-62 a visit and so does my ophthalmologist now if I could only find a similarly priced GP that would be able to take me?
Don’t they all get the big bucks from the insurance companies? Than why can’t they have a heart for us who don’t have insurance?
Tonight, I once again leave you in a confused state of my mind… but even with that, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
