What are some pet peeves you have in the way people talk?

[Cdubneeddeal]

I just hate poor grammar usage. The word "Aint". Me/I.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

They say "needs fixed" instead of "needs to be fixed."

My ex says "do you want to know a story?"

 

[KaOTiK]

When people say something along the lines of I could careless about that, when it should be I couldn't careless.

It should be, "I couldn't care less."

People who post language usage peeves complete with bad grammar in their own thread's title tend to irritate me.

You can have a pet peeve with the way people talk. but you can't have a pet peeve in the way people talk.

QFT I missed that one! Nice catch!

Why couldn't you say should of? Obviously it's spelled out should have, but isn't should've pronounced as should of?

should've <--contraction of "should have", pronounced very SIMILARLY to "should of", but NOT the same thing. There's more of an "uh" sound in "should of."

That's what I was going to say.

Ebonics as a whole really gets to me. I don't think anybody of any color, creed, or religion should get away with talking like that.

living in Indiana, I frequently hear people pronounce the word "creek" as "crick"....

Oh trust me, I've heard it worse than that. No exaggeration. I don't hear adults really using it but in my college classes I hear that coming from everyone's mouth.

when people call soda POP.

It's SODA damnit S O D A! :|

 

[wfbberzerker]

people shortening words, i.e.

ridic instead of ridiculous

 

[Ricemarine]

When people say "lawl." or "lol." or "rofl" or "tol"...
Its ok on IM programs, but not in real world conversations.

 

[nageov3t]

I can't, like, not say like, unless I really buckle down and force myself not to (for like a business meeting or something).

my big pet peeve is the abbreviation ne1 on the internet.

 

[SketchMaster]

When kids say ?lawl? and the people that think it's cool/funny, Pwnd also gets me. And when someone uses the word ?lag? to describe a slow computer.

If you like kids, DON'T work at a game store. By the end of the month you will hate them all.

I heard this as I was sipping my tea. My pinky finger seemed to have this strange angle as if poised to mock them. Actually, I found their conversation quite superfluous, or one could say, overtly loquacious.

I think you get the point.

 

[S Freud]

people that say, like or um every other word.:|

 

[nageov3t]

people saying "pwned" irl is super annoying.

they always pronounce it "pawned" or something stupid like that... if you're saying it aloud, it's OWNED.
