you beat me to the spiked punch. BTW, what are those 2 little balls on my laughing smilley?

Yeah that's what happens when one tries to type out something in a hurry while also talking on the phone

I caught them later but decided "what the hell"

The one that really bugs me, and I often call people on it, is when someone says "ATM machine".

Ummm, you do know what the letter M stand for in that, right?

Is it an automatic teller machine machine??????  

That is what i say too , as long as the meaning is obvious i let it go especially the way the editor of this "new and improved" JU works .

I think this one is justified to a ceratin extent. ATM is now used as a proper name. Same goes for NBC Corp or ABC Corp and even CNN Network .... those letters started as an appreviations ... then they grew to be a real name all by themselves  .. 

nah, I don't buy that. No such thing as an ATM machine.  Well, ok, maybe if they build a machine that produces ATMs that would be an ATM machine

Things like "CNN network" bug me just as much. It's just stupidity.

Usually that's what I say, as long as people get the point. I type with 2 fingers so I make a lot of mistakes.

Or NIC Card? (From a tech - I understand if a non-tech does not know).

LOL, I never thought about it that way. God knows how many times I said that. When I lived in Puerto Rico a few years ago, I thought it was funny how they called ATMs over there, considering that have the tendency of using English names and words over there even though Spanish is the main language. They called them ATH and I always wondered what the H stood for. One day I asked my sister and she said it meant "A Toda Hora" which in English means 24/7. I though the name was even funnier since it never occured to me to name an ATM "24/7" even though it makes perfect sense.

I don't have a lot of issues with editing. I just edited the previous post with no problems.

I often wonder if people know what PC (personal computer) means. Those Mac commercial could be a bit confusing, I mean isn't a Mac a computer after all and isn't it also personal so would that make it a PC as well? Or am I getting confused here?

I used to say friggin or freakin all the friggin time.  Then someone told me what and where they came from. 

I was a little red!

Thank IBM for that.  They tried to trademark the term, so Apple happily went along.

How many people know that when you call someone your hero your calling them your demigod?

Only if you speak Greek

One of the few spelling mistakes I hate to make is using your instead you are! lol
