99% of Americans over the age of 15 can read and write.  But a lot of us still haven’t MASTERED the English language.  Here are six phrases people say wrong on a daily basis . . .

#1.)  “I COULD CARE LESS.” What you mean is, you “COULDN’T” care less.  You’re saying you already DON’T care about something SO MUCH that it’s impossible to care less about it.

#2.)  “MANO-E-MANO.” It’s “mano-A-mano,” but you shouldn’t even say THAT unless you’re either talking about bullfighting . . . which is where the term originated . . . or you’re talking about getting into a physical fight with someone.

–In Spanish, “mano-a-mano” literally means “hand-to-hand” . . . as in, hand-to-hand combat.

#3.)  “LESS THAN.” If you’re talking about a specific number of things, you should say “FEWER THAN.”  So . . . when you’re using Twitter, your Tweets have to be “140 characters or FEWER,” not “140 characters or less.”

#4.)  “HONE IN.” It’s HOME IN, like a homing pigeon.  “Hone” . . . with an N . . . means “to sharpen.”  So saying you “honed in” on something doesn’t really make sense.  But you COULD say a pitcher is “honing his skills” in the minor leagues.

#5.)  “I’LL TRY AND MAKE IT.” You can SAY this one and get away with it, because most people won’t even notice it’s wrong.  But when you’re WRITING it, you should never say you’ll “TRY AND” do anything.  You “TRY TO” do things.

#6.)  “SUPPOSABLY”. You should almost always say SUPPOSEDLY.  Supposably IS a word.  It means “conceivably.”  But 99% of the time, that’s not what you mean.  (–You can watch Joey and Chandler’s “supposably” scene from “Friends” HERE.)

(Reader’s Digest)

MADONNA’S 13-year-old daughter LOURDES was photographed by the paparazzi, wearing a wristband with a picture of a POT LEAF on it.

U2 are currently on tour in Europe . . . and at a show in Finland on Saturday, they debuted a new song called “Every Breaking Wave”. After the performance, BONO said, quote, “No one has heard that before . . . including the two of us.”

(–You can watch them perform “Every Breaking Wave”, here . . .)
