So, as they say

My elbows are not itchy at all right now, not even one bit.

My kids often use the word itch when they mean to use the word scratch, and they use the word scratch when they mean to use the word itch. I have attempted to correct them, and since that correction that are only occasionally misusing these words.

This is sort of the same way that I am correcting my wife who often interchanges 'salad' with 'lettuce'.

Have a pleasant Friday.

does your wife ever resent you correcting her mistake of salad and lettuce?

TN sometimes corrects me on things and it annoys me, although I'm 150% more likely to be the one doing the correcting, so I allow it without it bothering me (much).
