My mother corrected my grammar a lot too. One word I can't stand to hear people say is conversate the correct word is converse. I argued with a massage therapist one time because she thought Converse was archaic. I thought her grammar was sloppy. Also I don't talk on the telephone unless I am fully clothed and sitting in an upright position or standing. I never talk to people on the phone lying down. They can always tell. LOL
