English language pet peeves

[famy]

Oh, and people who say words  like "Legs" or "Eggs" like "Laygs" and "Aygs".
srry for bumping

People who don't pronounce them like that piss me off.

[guff]

I'd say American spellings are more annoying.

is it that you think they make less sense, or is it just that you're trying to seem british and hip

[YPrrrr]

Also when people use "affect" and "effect" as if they were the same

[Skylark]

I hate when I mess up "effect" and "affect" which I feel is all the time.
I LOVE Southern accents btw (OG doesn't apparently hehe ^^ I think they're the best)

It bothers me when people break up their sentences with "like" and "um" it's so choppy, kind of like listening to a CD that keeps scratching. It drives me up the wall!

That's the only one I can really think of I don't like how "armor" is spelt though.

Would you prefer armour

[Skylark]

I really would.

[Garahe]

When people cut the already-short word of "you" to "U".

It just annoys me sometimes.

also what the hell does a northeastern accent sound like

[Skylark]

You know, I don't know... hmm... I've been to the Pacific Northwest and haven't really noticed much difference in the way people speak their from the way they do where I live (except sometimes people DO have accents here)

also what the hell does a northeastern accent sound like

You took my post the wrong way.

When I said "accents" I was using a catch-all for all sorts of different accents characterized by the Northeastern US rather than just one.

damn that's pimp
