Does it bother you when someone doesn't know the difference between "etymology" and "entomology"?

It bugs me in a way I can't put into words.

    No, that doesn't bother me at all. But I feel your pain when someone uses the word "super" instead of the word "very". This post was edited by NYAD at November 22, 2022 4:32 PM MST

      That’s my take also on the use of “totally” instead of “completely”. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
