It's already Saturday morning in our part of the
world. Still, here's the
pet peeve that makes me puke:
When people say "umpteen number of times"!! I am tired
of explaining to
people that umpteen is like fifteen, sixteeen,
seventeen... and it is just
"umpteen times" like "fifteen times".
Cheers,
Janani
