Premise: using the wrong word will get you booted off the premises

Here's another pet peeve: using "premise" singular to mean a building or property. YUCK! Retail types do this all the time. "I want the shipment to be on premise by Tuesday." YUCK!

"Premise" singular is an idea, an argument, the foundation for a theory. If you're talking about the building or property, it MUST be plural "premises."
