I hate it when pseudo-intellectuals say “begs the question” when they really mean “raises the question”, and when they say “apropos” instead of “appropriate.”

And I hate it when ANYONE says “snuck” instead of “sneaked”! I know I have lost the battle on that one but I’m still fighting.

“Snuck” is a word used in certain regions of the country whereas others use the word “sneaked.” It is rather similar to the use of “shats” on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and “Shatters” on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and other words to the north, all meaning dried pine needles.
