  Also, to whom it may concern, the past tense of "text" is not "text," it's "texted."  :soapbox:

Americans who drop the H in "herb" sound ridiculous. "But it's a French word" isn't an excuse. The way the French pronounce it sounds nothing like "'erb".

  I'm using argan oil in my hair at present, so that wins over the other scents.  8)

But supposably is a word.  :dunno: It means conceivably, unlike supposedly which means purportedly. Do you just mean people who use it wrong?  :orly:
