Sup with the extra 'S'?

[Alidar Jarok]

I don't think I've ever heard "offsides" without an S at the end.

I'm pretty sure if something is used long enough by a large group of people, it becomes correct. That's how language evolves.

Or devolve as the case would be in modern times.

Can you explain what a case would be where it evolves and where it devolves and why modern times are the exception?

Indeed. Laters.

Hmm... I know a lot of people around here say they're going to Krystals. Wendy's is okay... but It's just Krystal.

I'd rather we solve this "Sup" problem...

It bugs me when people say "Jewels" instead of Jewel, but that's probably because I worked there for 5 years.

Yes, yes it will. Like, 90% of Americans say "offsides". It's maddening.

Doubtful. What is that, soccer? (I'm guessing.)

Trust me, 90% of Americans are not talking about soccer at all, much less mispronouncing parts of it.
