1. Norm Crosby!

'King of the malaprop, Norm always speaks from his 'diagram' and drinks'decapitated' coffee. His confusing word play and twisted speech has been an audience favorite since his days on The Ed Sullivan Show.'

[JohnnyRingo]

3. I must have watched him on Ed Sullivan during my formable years

That would explain my matter of speaking.

Hahaha

[RC]

What registers with him sometimes is not what was said. He just capitalized on it.

8. I don't often

mispronounce any of these words; nor do I misspell them except intentionally - like using prolly for probably, when I am making a light-hearted post.

I misspell many words when I'm typing fast, and don't use spell-check*; but usually only one or two words at random.

Words fascinated me while growing up, so I learned decent spelling and pronunciation habits.

( But I'll spell-check* this, just to keep from :blush:ing and having to edit. :) )

*DU likes spell-check but not spellcheck.
