    the other day a coworker of mine, speaking of his pregnant fiance's ultrasound, described her as having been in an "'uncompromised' position" - egad!

    Oh, one more - at one cong I attended there was an elder who, whenever he was giving the Bible Highlights talk for the TMS, would always use mispronounce the word "canonical" as "canon-i-a-cal".
