The use of the word "literally" out of context drives me batsh*t insane. That and double negatives.

If they truly mean literally, it sounds awful painful.

I hate it after I hit a horrible shot, "What'd you hit?", I'm like WTH..like it matters.

Try my response in that situation:

"My skirt on the downswing."
The use of the word "literally" out of context drives me batsh*t insane.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's like 95% of the population has no idea what the word "literal" actually means.

And I wouldn't mind so much if it was just every now and then, but when was the last time you heard it used correctly? A new one for me is the use of the word "starving" instead of "hungry". I know it's very petty and I was just as guilty as everyone else of using the two words interchangeably. But at some point (and for some unknown reason), it dawned on me that for the typical American to claim s/he is "starving" just because they haven't stuffed their face in 3 hours was a little (forgive the pun) . . . distasteful. Especially considering the current obesity problem in this country, where even our poorest citizens are overweight.

The use of the word "less" when "fewer" should be used. If you can count whatever it is you're talking about, the word is "fewer", not "less".

I cringe when I hear faculty say something like, "We have less students in 106 than we did last year." I have to bite my tongue with that one.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
