These words do not exist
By: A.D. Nicholas Bundt Trust me on this. A lot of people make up words that sound correct, but in fact they do not really exist. Here is a list. Take note. Anyways There is no plural to the word anyway. The word anyway, in fact, is suggesting multiple ways anyway. Begger It's beggar, not begger. There is state of begging. Only the title of a person begging. Concure Surprisingly, no e at the end. Just concur. Creeped It is crept, not creeped. Also, crept is not a very versatile verb. Downtrotten It's "downtrodden", not "downtrotten." Narratively Example sentence: "Narratively speaking, ..." However, narratively is not a word. Again, showing that the English language was constructed to make writing annoying. Non-Refridgeratable As much as I would love to easily describe foods that cannot be placed within the fridge as non-refridgeable, it just isn't a word... Opidimy The list is endless: Apidomy, Apidimy, Apitomy, Apidimy, Epidomy, Epidimy, Epitimy, Epitomy, Epidamy, Opidimy, Opidomy, Opitomy, and Opitimy. In the end, the correct spelling is Epitome; the representation or example of a group. NEW Sulkenly Sulkily Suburbian I was thinking suburb dweller; Suburbian. Just like a Canada dweller; Canadian. I thought wrong, because suburbian is not a word. It's just suburban. Thrusted There is no past tense of thrust. It simply is thrust. Unphased The proper term is "not phased". Website Sadly enough, it is two words. Report a broken link / image to the webmaster. Last Updated: June 2, 2006 |
