Not Words

At work, we like to keep track of funny things people say that are not, in fact, words. A few have come up lately and I thought I'd share, for everyone's entertainment.
  • Scientifical
  • Certificated
  • Conversate
  • Deceivious
  • Computerated
  • Compilated
  • Orientate

The problem with English is that if people use a word enough, it eventually becomes real.

A word we found in the dictionary today? Ironicalness.

Ummm...

Hee hee...thanks for the giggle.

At the MTC we used to keep a list in the stockroom of funny companionships. The two I remember: Elder Faust and Elder Hinckley and Elder Hershey and Elder Goodbar.
