More words!
Wow. Yesterday’s post was pretty depressing. To make up for it, I’ve chosen some of my all time favorite mangled words with their definitions! 
Ritch: The act of extending your arm toward an object.
As in “That box fell down behind the pallet and I can’t ritch it.”
Past tense: Retched
Thow: To quickly release something from your grasp in an attempt to send it flying.
As in “Thow me that roll of tape.”
Past tense: Thowed
Actual quote using these words:
“There was a spider in that box of parts and them girls was just a-screamin’. I just retched down in there and picked that summitch up and thowed it down and stomped on it.”

Actual sentence:

Actual sentence:

Hunnert: The number following 99.
Actual sentence:

Are you guilty of any of the following? 
Heighth instead of height?
Suposably instead of supposedly?
Samwich instead of sandwich?
Irregardless instead of regardless?
