It grates my ears to hear the word "literally" used the way Jane Treacy does. It seems like she has to say it in every sentence. All she is doing is demonstrating that she is ignorant of its meaning. Somebody get that woman a dictionary and a thesaurus.

And a balance of home life and work. Heavily weighted on familial home life storytelling have never seen or heard anything like it.

Re: Hosts Speaking Correctly

I am a big spelling nut. Anyway at our local library one of the volunteers put up an  Easter poster (called it Eastereen)and had put up sentences like:" don't be frighten of the Easter Bunny, its not SCRAY" instead of Scary. When I pointed out the spelling error I was told I was too fussy. 

On another note:it IS Easter and I object to it being tied in w/ Halloween. At that point I didn't say anything.

 

Excuse any errors I may have made,difficult for me to type.

Secretaries have to know how to write a letter correctly....Hosts should have to know how to speak correctly!JMHO


Thank you.  I was a secretary and went to school for word processing, and was an English major.  I guess that is my reasoning.  People in public speaking should know how to speak correctly.


@luvmybeetle  I can understand where your coming from .  Everyone as there pet peeves about certain things .

I agree. I have noticed that too. That should be a requirement to be on air.

II agree.  That isn't saying much for the executives of QVC.  They should be corrected. I oftren hear that also.  Maybe they are not finding the smartest and best hosts.
