Just in case you were wondering:

I'm on a crochet list. and full grown women with grandchildren talk about when they were "pregnate." It isn't, unfortunately, just a young woman thing -- they keep spelling it that way!

Now you're gonna make me cry...

[geminigirl]

Do you need me to beat someone up? No one should upset my dindin

[dindin]

Dude. Go beat up that professor from birthcontrol. I'm about to alert the fucking local media myself!

[geminigirl]

I'm going to try and find out which one...if it's Stony Brook I actually know someone to talk to.

I vote that whenever we see "pregnate" or any other annoying variation of it, someone ought to respond with a simple "pregnant". That's it. Every time. See if constant repetition has any effect at all.

[dindin]

I'm in.

[rachelmack]

Hurrah! Who else?

[nixve]

Me too! I'll join anything that involves people writing and speaking correctly.

[mslaynie]

Oh, jeez. Not crochet, please?

Nope.

A very high-volume email list called Crochet partners. Since the membership is in the high hundreds if not into 4 figures, and I've only seen it once, I'm not completely without hope, but it did upset my apple cart today...

Maybe it's "in" now like "teh awesome", and many other mispellings.
