One word that used to make me wince was one that was used at church when the ministers announced someone's death. "So and So was funeralized Saturday at St. So and So Missionary Baptist Church."

i hasten to add that i'm talking about correct english, not american or dialect. feel free to mangle whatever bits of the language you want to. 
/me teaches correct written english for a living (or a chunk of it).

No probs, the American/English language is retructuring because we have to use our leverage to take the next steps in coming to an integrated solution with regards to our global village. You were out of the loop but im glad we could come to a mutual understanding. Im sure you agree bit we all need to think outide the box sometimes. On the whole though if we think along the same lines this can only lead to a win/win situation. Have a nice day.
