I haven't done one in awhile, so just for fun, a poll for Monday. Inspired by memories of a favorite English teacher and her polite but emphatic diatribe against the word "utilize."

[Poll #1186524]

Does anyone happen to know if there's a way to set up a poll so that people can check more than one answer to a question?

ETA: Oops. I just noticed I misspelled seeded. Irony can be kind of ironic sometimes.

I also get terribly frustated when people utilize the wrong word, irregardless of whether they're well-known to be errors. It was literally drummed into my head in school to not make these errors, but some deep-seeded impulse overrides it, apparently. I think we can take it for granite* that these errors will continue to be common.

*Had to add my own.

Heh. I started to create a poll introduction that used all of the words, then decided that it was too leading. Thanks for doing it for me! :)

Had to maintain my reputation! :D
