It's Just DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

[FarmerChick]

this is a funny thread

nope, doesn't bother me.

heck, I say it.

 

[gettinaclue]

irregardless

Yes, that one gets me too. Also, "HOW COME" instead of "WHY".

and

1 centS instead of 1 cent
or 45 cent instead of 45 centS.

Also when you hear someone ask for the time like this: Hey man, what time it is.

That just irritates me.

 

[OrganicKale]

If someone asked me "hey,what time it is?" I would simply say "yes."

Oh Lawdy, uohns is so funny.

I live in Mississippi. I laugh constantly. None of it bothers me. Probably because sometimes I not only talk like that but because its just funny.

I don't think I've ever heard "continue on" or "exit out" used in a sentence. The ones that really grate on my nerves are "like", "you know", and the misuse of then and than. When someone uses like several times in a sentence ("I was like", "She was like", "I'm like") it makes my stomach muscles tighten and I completely loose track of what the person is saying. I catch myself thinking "didn't these people EVER go to school?"

I dislike the saying "It's all good". Sometimes, it's not all good in this world. Don't care for it being used as a blanket statement. Also don't care for "it is what it is". I understand that is at least more realistic but dismissive. As though nothing I do could change an outcome. Or have any effect on a problem. Hah!

Gettinaclue it must drive you nuts to read whatever i write - and its worse in person. i like saying li-BARY just to send overly particular folks into fits. and i never now just where my sentences are gonna end at.

Gettinaclue it must drive you nuts to read whatever i write - Nah, not really. I kinda just go with your flow so to speak.

my hubby was an english major and i finally wore him down to the point where he just gave up trying to correct me - I correct my family ALL. THE. TIME. DH was brought up in the foothills of NC by parents who were raised IN THE MOUNTAINS and his grammer KILLS me. JUST KILLS ME I SAY!! It's not just a one way street though. I encourage correction for me as well, and they take full advantage when I get a lazy tongue LOL.

folks are just folks and you wouldnt want to make anyone feel bad about just talkin. - I would never belittle someone for speaking they way they speak. I'm not perfect - I don't have perfect grammar, or punctuation or syntax or whatever. I know what they mean when they say these things (mostly) - and I answer or reply with due respect and common courtesy. But it still drives me batty - er.

shake it off, baby, there are a lot more important things to worry about - You're right about that, but I was having a moment and had to vent. It just built up yesterday and I needed an outlet.

Like when DD came home and told me her ENGLISH TEACHER says HOW COME. HOW COME?! REALLY? HOW COME!!!!! Her ENGLISH TEACHER for Pete's sake. How is she supposed to TEACH English if she can't SPEAK it?

I guiltily admit to doing this when I was a young teen. My Mom had something to say about it. I believe her exact words were (or at least as well as I can remember them) "Nikki, you sound like an idiot. Try and let your brain connect with your mouth." Yeah, that put a stop to it.
