CringeFest: Does "supposably” bother anyone?

Does "supposably” bother anyone when it's used in place of "supposEDly"?
I did a quick search and discovered that it's a real word, which SHOCKED me. Apparently, “supposably” can be used only when the meaning is “capable of being supposed”.

Omg, eww, eww, eww! What an icky word! It should die a painful death! Eww!

Words are inanimate so a word can't 'die' in the human sense, which you presumably meant considering you used the word 'painfully'.

He's just being dramatic, not literal... :)

I actually never heard anyone say supposably, but I'd probably bitchslap them, stuff like that gets on my nerves.

lol it's just a mispronunciation of supposedly. I probably say it...

I've heard lots of people say "supposably" and it doesn't bother me in the least. I know what they are meaning.. why make a big deal about it?

Just my opinion though. :-\

"supposably" sounds very disposably to me

Why are we discussing this? There is no such word as "supposably". Anyone who pronounces this sound is an ass.

BILL FROM WARWICK: Why are we discussing this?
QUIDSANE: Because this is a LANGUAGE forum.
BILL FROM WARWICK: There is no such word as "supposably".
QUIDSANE: Yes, there is. Look it up.
BILL FROM WARWICK: Anyone who pronounces this sound is an ass.
QUIDSANE: Pronouncing a real English word correctly does not make someone an ass. However, using "supposably" in place of "supposedly" can indicate laziness or a lack of education.

Definitely cringeworthy...

Fuck you Quidsane. Go back to the shithole from whence you came.
Quidsane   Thu May 22, 2008 4:57 am GMT
What's up with that?
Quidsane   Thu May 22, 2008 4:58 am GMT
That ought to be:

<<Fuck you Quidsane. Go back to the shithole __ whence you came.>>

Umm, yeah...
Why are you posting with MY name?
Also, your post makes no sense.
