Don't you hate it when people mix up the works in popular phrases in an attempt to make themselves sound smarter? We have e-mail evidence of our claim. For example:
- "Don't make a mountain out of a MULE hill..."
- "That is a MUTE point..."
- "I'm enjoying the FRENCH benefits..."
- "The organization is celebrating their CENTENERARY..." (Centenary)
- "I have merchandise for SELL..." and "You know they say that sex SALES..."
Moving on to office tomfoolery:
Here's something totally confusing from an IT trainer in a corporation:
"...we strongly encourage you not to change this setting..." WHAT?
And one from the office manager:
"...please bring all of your outgoing mail to the 6th floor mailroom by 4:30 pm for posting and handling..." Huh? Where is she going to post it? She actually had the nerve to send that e-mail out twice this week!
