People making up words

I have to laugh when people use words incorrectly. I work with someone who does this on a DAILY basis, but correcting the individual would be an exercise in futility.
Yesterday we were talking in the office about the upcoming election and the signs posted all over the community.
The comment was made "I see these signs up all over and have no idea who these people are. Are they even in my consistency?"
Oh, mylanta.
