    Sodium is not bad. You will not take in more than you can tolerate.

    You are using a very broad brush to make that statement. Having what your body can tolerate doesn't necessarily make it good for you. Its true that concentrations of sodium are carefully regulated by the body and fluctuations can lead to negative side affect but not everyone reacts the same to high sodium input. To some it can be detrimental (high blood pressure, heart disease and even stomach cancer). Just don't overdue it and most people will be be fine.

    Yes, I think we know who needs to lay off the salt. The same folks who need to stay at home and hunker down during a pandemic.

    just to be clear, that was a sarcastic reply to jubru's beeping noise complaint -- not a peeve of my own.

    (i replace the batteries in my spycams weekly to make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen to me...)

    Mispronounced contractions...

    Wouldn't - WOULD UNT
    Couldn't - COULD UNT

    etc.

    The one that get's me the most is

    Won't pronounced as WANT. I'm not sure where this comes from other than one feeling the need to speak "properly" and thinking want sounds better than won't.

    that's got to be the reason. where i come from, there is no audible difference between want and won't. people are conscious of the fact that "want" is not properly pronounced that way and thus they change everything that sounds like "won't" in their head to "want".

    a more obscure example is the word "swage". most people don't know what a swage is, but if you work with piping, the word comes up from time to time. thing is, it sounds like the way a redneck would pronounce a large hammer ("bring me that slage so i can drive this wage into the lage"). so people automatically assume it should be spelled and properly pronounced "swedge".

    You have it wrong. You put a "D" in and they don't pronounce the D. So phonetically it's more like Wuh-unt or Cuh-unt. They don't know how stupid they sound. Or like they have s speech impediment. But then I guess I don't get how cool they are. But they wouldn't (wuh-unt) say cool, they'd say Dope, or Lit, or Gucci or some other silly term.

    This is where Camp967 says, "OK Boomer".

    Ask any Boomer -- the development and evolution of English ended on the day they were born. Moreover, the science, literature, history, religion, etc that was taught in the 1950s and 60s is the only correct version. Everything before them was primitive. Everything since is corrupted.

    But just for fun, look up the video sometime of the kids in Baltimore trying to say "Aaron earned an iron urn"

    ...50 years of teachers who were not taught properly teaching a subject they finally just stopped teaching all together.

    I love hearing talking heads mis-pronounce the word "THE" using THEE pronunciation randomly. Again, thinking is sounds proper.

    I think a prescriptivist such as yourself would have had a difficult time during the great vowel shift.

    Especially if the middle class hypercorrection theory is accurate.
