Pet Peeves...
My pet peeve of the day is educators who misuse the word 'good'. 'Someone' told me today "Cory did good today". You mean, "Cory did well today" right? Are basic grammar skills too much to ask for in today's educators? I guess I'm just a stickler for proper word usage. I think we can blame my 8th grade English teacher Mrs. Mele. She was a beast of a teacher, but everyone who came out of her class with an appreciation of proper English and grammar. My normal everyday pet peeve is when people use 'anxious' instead of 'eager'. These 2 words are NOT synonyms. Anxious comes from the noun 'anxiety'. Lets all keep that in mind.
