Americanisms
"Oftentimes" - how is this different from often? They both mean frequently don't they?

"Winningest" - No. You are losingest.

Also, for rather less rational reasons, I don't like the word "pithy". It sounds the opposite of what it is. I can't help but feel it sounds miserable, petty, weak. Alas, I have very little power to affect its usage.

I just misread
"Winningcest" as "Wincest". I think I may watch too much Supernatural.

I've been told that the correct pronounciation of 'often' is 'offen', and not how it's spelled.
Is this really true? I've been saying 'often' all my life and haven't been able to retrain myself to say 'offen' because I think it sounds sloppy and stupid.
