Don't get me started. Someone at my new job wrote that a client "is being winged off his medication."

That's... not ... even close.

i'm sure i've made that faux pas on these pages. to my credit, however, i pronounce both words the same way. if i was talking to Killed_by_Death in person: he wouldn't know that i was making that mistake. or would he?

I hope @Killed_by_Death is just being silly because his assertion doesn't hold true in (at least American) English.

That hurt mah brane. Like a bird's wing? Or a combination of wing and wine?

Edit: It hurt my brain so hard that it took almost a half hour for me to remember the sound of a word that I just used a couple of months ago that I think they were going for but missed- "wean"

It's sort of close if they've heard enough of either hillbillies or latinos pronouncing "wing" a little weengy and then thinking that "wing off" was a colloquialism whose backstory was not worth investigating prior to using?

Yes, that is what is in the dictionary. Good luck with that. Will you be sending an e-mail to every company misusing the word grill?

he expects there's a bass player in every company, or next door, who will rush to correct the situation before any embarrassment occurs.
