Pretty much unrelated, but still one of my favorite stories of using correct wording...
So we had a high school English teacher that was um... well, quite a presence in the school. I loved her because she meant well, but she was the butt of many jokes on a daily basis.
She also would review for her tests like this:
Class, write this down... To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
Now - underline the words "tomorrow" "Creeps" and "pace" - those are the words that will be the answers for the "fill in the blank" portion of the quiz. (And it would be - so if you just sat there & underlined all the words she said, you knew exactly what to expect for the test - and it was not in random order - everything was exactly as she told us it would be!!)
Anyways.... our class had several athletes & popular kids in it, and one of them (Steven) was known for being quite the stud of the senior class. Well, Steven was talking about something to the teacher, and he said "well I was lying down because I had a headache" (something like that) and she said very loudly "NOW STEVEN - it is LAYING in bed... you don't LIE in bed, now do you?" and the whole class just LOST it - because, um well, YEAH - he did lie in bed quite a lot
{okay - I'm done with this useless side track now
