I'm getting in on this...you Southerners...

If you're going to offer an item in exchange for cash, then you are going to "sell it"...you are not going to "sale it".

I swear I've never heard that until I moved here. I started hearing people say: "Yeah, I'm just going to sale it".

The other one that cracks me up is "just chunk it in the trash", rather than "just chuck it in the trash".

chucked, chuck·ing, chucks
a. To throw or toss: chucked stones into the water.
b. Informal To throw out; discard: chucked my old sweater.
c. Informal To force out; eject: chucking out the troublemakers.

chunk (chngk)
n.
1. A thick mass or piece: a chunk of ice.
2. Informal A substantial amount: won quite a chunk of money.
3. A strong stocky horse.

You'll never be able to convince anybody that "chuck" is the right word for "toss". Discover channel ruined the correct definition with their show "Punkin' Chunkin'". And all of the people on the show say "chunk". It really burns me up.

I read that post four times before I noticed there was something different between the two sentences....
