Sub-conscious vs Unconscious

[MissPiesFF]

Has anyone else noticed that over the last few years people now use the word 'unconscious' instead of 'sub-conscious'. Ok example Dane Swan unconsciously knows what to do with the ball. My point is to be 'unconscious' is to not be aware of anything at all, where as 'sub-conscious' means to be  fully aware of your surroundings yet one applies a task that is second to nature.

I wish people would get back to the real definition of sub-conscious and stop replacing it with unconscious.

YES! My sister is an offender of this. I constantly correct her, I think she is getting better ;)

I just hate explaining the meanings of words that i regularly use to my friends :P
Like today my friend asks me to explain what contempt meams, then i end up explaining what figuratively means, and doing it three times as he doesnt listen

I had to learn this stuff last year for Psychology. State of awareness for unconscious.

Figuratively and Literally are always mixed up as well ::).

Try...confining your vocabulary around your friends :P

This pisses me off more -_-
Maybe because my friends don't get subconscious and conscious mixed up any more ;D
I still have one friend who says 'bet' instead of 'beat' and versed instead of 'played' ... ... ... ... ... ...
But soon enough *evil laugh*

Yeah like half my school says "Yeah I bet him in the race!" or something like that :P

[ossie85]

"Would of" instead of "Would've" or "Would have" is a gripe of mine.

.... but English is a weird language.

For instance, why does flammable and inflammable mean the SAME thing?!

Yeah, or 'I versed him on the weekend'

"Would of" instead of "Would've" or "Would have" is a gripe of mine.

I learnt this the hard way...When I was really young I set my dads inflammable aftershave on fire thinking it wouldn't because it was inflammable.

That's the same as why do we have 6 or 7 different pronounciations of the sound "ough"

1) Though
2) Thought
3) Dough
4) Rough
5) Through
6) Cough

I'm sure there is another one, but can't think of it ATM

[Alex7089]

Or why do we have so many words that mean the same thing?

[CrowsFan]

Don't you pronounce 1 and 3 the same Fletch?

Something from Lano and Woodley here, but why are there so many different spellings of how to make the sound I?

e.g. Hi Guy, Try Thai High Pie
