This is a very entertaining thread.  Thank you Elvis1209 for starting it.

I also hate dinning, especially in Muranos!!  There is no S!

Good for her.  I hate it when men refer to their spouse as "the wife".  It's degrading.

 

Interestingly I have heard both men and women use the 'the', especially when referencing a kid. I think the degrading part would be the intent, which all I have heard use it never have had intent.

 

When my wife refers to me as that !**!@** of a husband, that is just life as usual and I hope I am just kidding:)

I was once told that the actual proper name of each ship is Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Constellation and so on. That Celebrity is part of their official name.  Can anyone confirm?

If your are on a Celebrity ship or on CC no need to say Celebrity...

Here here!  I learned this some time ago and I appreciate you bringing this forward!

And yet, if you go to the Celebrity website, they always refer to their ships by their full name.

Of course they along with other cruise lines addressing their ships. Doesn't mean I will or have to in a conversation.

For some reason, the rest of my post was chopped off. I also wrote that there isn't any reason to always use the full, formal name in most discussions. But I also think that getting ones shorts in a twist over the use of a nickname is an indication of having too much time on one's hands.

I will add my pet peeve: it is room steward, not stewart

Thank you for your correct usage of you're vs your.  My nails on a chalkboard grammar faux pas is when someone writes "Your going to enjoy a wonderful meal in the Connie dinning room.  You're DH/DW will love there escargot."  Ackkk, I can't believe that which I just wrote.  🤣🤣

Since this thread is all about being pedantic (and I for one am here for it), it's "Hear! Hear!", unless that is, you're calling a dog to come "Here! Here!" 😀

How about "I need new breaks on my car"

[TMLAalum]

Hmmmm.....

My High School is THE Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates NY (hence my cruise critic name) and I root for The Buckeyes of THE Ohio State University!

I tend to refer to Celebrity ships with a /the/ before the name in posts and in conversation, but I noticed my signature is sans the /the/!

I have no idea how I know his real name.  I think he passed not long after the filming of that movie.  That movie is full of great lines.

So I literally seen my room stewart write in the dinning room of Murano's and beings that he was their I literally told the husband cuz it was so amazing.  (Maybe we should hold a contest to see who can make the most mistakes in a single sentence, lol.)
