English language pet peeves

[Selkie]

1. The word "invaluable". To me that sounds like not valuable...

and also when people say "yooge" instead of "huge", or "yooman" instead of "human", like someone said before. God I hate that. Michael Kay does it bad.

When you end up with a situation in which you must say "do do." It just sounds ridiculous.

Any time where you have to say a word twice in a row is pretty stupid, but yeah, "do do" is probably the worst one.

and i dunno my accent sucks and like mixes  a boston accent with a slight new york one and several of say "rilly" instead of "really"(or other words with similar sounds),

I always do that.

When people say "Ya'll", it sounds so hick it's not even funny.

Seriously.

5. Skipping prepositions

1.) When people use "da" instead of "the"
2.) When people roll their Rs unnecessarily
3.) "ain't"
4.) When people talk so fast you can't understand any of it

My Biology teacher pronounces "Humans" as "Youmans"

I wanna smack her when she does that.

Oh that reminds me. When people say Chooseday instead of Tuesday. My brother used to say it like chooseday, but I nagged him enough to where he stopped.

Also when people capitalize every word rather than just what needs to be capitalized.

Was your brother mentally challenged? I don't think I've ever heard that from someone who didn't have a speech impediment.

No. One of my 7th grade teachers said it like that, too.

[Samus Aran]

I've never heard anyone say "chooseday."
