Nails-on-the-Chalkboard

Welcome to the Uber Professor!

This blog will give a daily dose of what grates me the wrong way regarding word usage. Today, I had had enough of reading and hearing the use of "anyways" as it is used by a lot of people both in conversation and in writing. As well, I was listening to a news program and the person said he had graduated college. How do you graduate a college. You might graduate "from" a college, but you are not so powerful that you can graduate a college. What kind of degree would that take!

Irritated, needless to say, I posted on FaceBook the following: Speaking of words... one does not graduate high school/college. One graduates "from" hs/college. Anyway not anyways. Just had to start my week with nails-on-a-chalkboard uses of our language.

There you have it. This blog will give a daily dose of what is being used in the way of words and what should be correctly used.

Have a blessed day,

Uber Professor
