When did our ability to speak leave us?
Comment I just heard:

"I had to go to the doctor today. He took a urine example."


It was all I could do to not say "RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!?!?!?!"

8. I'm sure that no one ever misspoke before 1978 or whenever you have in mind
In those days, for example, it was considered incorrect to split infinitives.
