What's very annoying is when people use "there" instead of "their", or "their" instead of "they're". Seriously, what the hell?
It's a common mistake to make. They either write too fast or have some ADD/dylexia issues.
One word that has been peeving me at the moment is 'sangas' - IT'S SANDWICH NOT SANGAS! How does one get sangas from sandwich anyway? The english language in this country is going down the drain.
I have never heard anyone say "sangas", ever. When did this start? I would punch somebody in the face if I heard them say it.
My friend's mom pronounces the word chimney - "chimley"...oh god!
I haven't heard "sangas" yet either. I often hear "samwudge" and that annoys the hell out of me. "Innersted" instead of "interested", "daynce" instead of "dance", and so many others. Oh well, I am in east Tennessee, where some people don't even know how to pronounce their own names, or their own children's names. Seriously... I find it nearly impossible to keep a straight face when I hear something like "Mah young'un Nayncy..." I have nothing against people with accents. But there's a difference between having an accent and just pronouncing words in extremely stupid ways. Yes, I may have sounded somewhat like this in the past, but my excuse is that I was still a little kid, and too young to notice how ridiculous it sounds!
