I bet you found yourself saying "eIther" at that one point near the middle when he stopped and second guessed himself..........

I say it either way; it doesn't bother me. "Excape" drives me nuts though.

I think it's funny, but that's the way Spanish and any other languages evolved and became something different from "their mother".

"My bad? What are you talking about? There's no subject there, your toe? your IQ? what?"

My favourite mistake: a lot of people saying "irreverent" instead of "irrespective". I'm sure you ain't got that wrong. Me neither.

The expression "my bad" bothered me until the day I realized what the subject was: Grammar! It's just silent. The expression was actually "I'm sorry about my bad grammar"; they just shortened it.
