The first one is when
people add an X in ask or asked making it into axe or axed.
Why? There is no
fucking need for it. It just makes it sound like you never stepped foot in a
school. By all means be stupid but you don’t have to sound like you are. Where
did the X even come from? It’s not like X is a commonly used letter in the English
language. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to open their mouths.
Speaking of people
who shouldn’t be allowed to talk that brings me to the second thing that drives me
crazy. People who pronounce the silent H in words.
I remember be taught
in first or second grade that you don’t pronounce the H in words like what and
where. So who decided once you become fully grown you can start pronouncing that
H? Did the H get jealous and decided it was time for him to start talking?
Some people blame
Hollywood for whole H not being so silent thing but I blame stupid people
emulating Hollywood. I mean it’s not a trend if only a few people do it. People
should be smart enough to put a stop to things at are clearly stupid and make
you sound stupid along with it.
All I ask is for
people to use their brain and if you don’t have one keep your mouth shut so I
don’t have to hear your nonsense.
I’m heading off to
find a way to cool off (stupid English weather). As always stay safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch

Boy do I hear you on this one!!!! I can let it go until I am with someone often enough that I have to put my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming out the correct word! But then, I suck at spelling so.....
ReplyDeleteI have a different take. I'm not a racist or sexist or any -ist like that. I'm a smartist. If you sound dumb like this, I will immediately think you're a worthless piece of shit and quietly seethe in hatred at you.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%!! I can't stand when people mispronounce common words.
ReplyDeleteI have to give you a standing ovation on this post. I am in college and I cannot tell you how many people seem to forget how to speak English. The actual grammar and syntax is far worse. I cannot for the life me figure out why an educated person would want to sound stupid. Where I live, people pronounce library as libary and deaf as death. Drives me absolutley batty.
ReplyDeletei know, i think it becomes a very bad habit. If you dont nip in the bud when they are young, or if you as an adult speak like that, your children will emulate you.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. Nothing worse than (good?) wrong pronunciation or spelling. On the other hand... I can get away with most things, because I am a foreigner. :)
