2.) When people roll their Rs unnecessarily

7.) The fact that there is no English equivalent for "déjà vu."
Your turn. I'm sure I'll come up with plenty more for myself.
What is an East Coast accent? That covers from Maine to Florida...
Also:
1. "Warsh" instead of wash
2. "Wooder" instead of water
3. "Pop" instead of soda
4. In writing how people can't seem to comprehend the difference between words like your and you're
5. Skipping prepositions
when people say the word "lol" irl

I kinda meant more northern ones, so I edited my post a bit. I especially dislike the god-awful Bostonian accent, but then, who doesn't?

lol you're from the mid west aren't you.
or at least been there. my reltitves in nebraska say pop
most of these are common in certain accents and dialects, it's just that you're not used to it...
I agree with misspelling homophones, talking really fast, deja vu, and unnecessarily rolling "R"s.
People who make sentences of half spanish words and half English words while saying something that is supposed to be English annoy me.

some word that people like to use a lot but most people don't even use it in the right meaning. :(
Fucking Canadians and their "Aboot" instead of saying it properly.
When people say "Ya'll", it sounds so hick it's not even funny.
When you end up with a situation in which you must say "do do." It just sounds ridiculous.

baddood;
and i dunno my accent sucks and like mixes a boston accent with a slight new york one and several of the mid-atlantic states.
Luckily I can pronounce my R's but there have been people who thought I'm not from Massachusetts. There are times I say "rilly" instead of "really"(or other words with similar sounds), which is apparently something from Pittsburgh. I do the same with coffee, some how having a New York accent when I say it, which annoys since I dislike the accent if it's thick enough.
so i'm weird.
Missouruh instead of Missouri.
Coke instead of soda.
Kleenex instead of tissue.

My Biology teacher pronounces "Humans" as "Youmans"

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

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.

No. One of my 7th grade teachers said it like that, too.
I've never heard anyone say "chooseday."
1. Non-rhotic accents.
Gh.
Why couldn't we have kept whatever the hell it was in Old English? :'(
The only thing that bothers me when it comes to this matter is when I can be talking to someone and say a word with three or more syllables, and the person will say "look at you trying to sound all smart" or "ok, you're using big words."
Bitch, it's only a "big" word because you're retarded and haven't gotten pass using the same words and describing everything by comparing it to "shit."*

Yes. I know a few Aussies online who say it, but Hyper isn't one of them apparently. At least I don't remember him saying it.
Apparently some CA residents say it too, because my friend John started using it for like a year before he realized it was stupid.

3. When people use 'your' when it should be 'you're' and vice versa.
4. Southern accents.
3. North Eastern Accents.
5. Lisps.
6. Sever stuttering.

My English teacher in High School (Phd) pronounced the letter H with emphasis saying "Whhhey", "Whhhat" and "Whhhen" etc... It became rather funny and annoying over time depending on how she used them.

2.When people cannot comprehend the simple differences between "your and you're, and two, too, and to and there, they're and their."
3.My 8th grade English teacher who pronounced "Day" as "Dee". Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee, Thursdee, Fridee. Christ, I wanted to slap her.
4."Murder, Moyda" Things to that extent, that's really the best I can explain it.

Yes, because it makes so much more sense to make every word a letter longer to waste everyone's time.
psyduck;
Not to mention the fact that the "ou" sound traditionally doesn't sound anything like how it does in those words, further taking away any sense in it.
Baltimore niggers accents bother me
the retarded conjugations for " to read".

you read

is it that you think they make less sense, or is it just that you're trying to seem british and hip doodthing;
Also when people use "affect" and "effect" as if they were the same
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.

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 akudood;
