Who Did What Now?

There is no purpose of this blog. I can't even spell the word blog and the verb form 'blogging' makes me throw up, just a little, in my mouth. Go find something more interesting. Life is short... no no wait, come back!

Mispronunciations and Colloquialisms

The following mispronunciations and colloquialisms I can’t fucking stand:

  1. Saying ‘i-deer’ instead of ‘idea’
  2. Saying ‘he-li-copter’ instead of ‘hel-i-copter’. The only thing I’m proud of my grandmother for is one saying of hers: it’s HELicopter as in ‘Go To…’. Nina can be such a bitch.
  3. Saying ‘ruff’ instead of ‘roof’. The ruff the ruff the ruff is on fire… forget that.
  4. Saying ‘beg’ when you mean ‘bag’. I discovered this one in washington state. Now when people say ‘beg’ I respond by asking them to repeat themselves. ******* can be such a bitch.
  5. OH! I almost forgot, when people from England/Ireland/Scotland/whatever say, for example, “I can’t drive. Me cars on fire.” WHAT THE HELLICOPTER IS THAT! Didn’t you people invent English? Does the word ‘my’ not exist? Oh my science, is it the US that’s using improper English? No, no, it’s them, it’s always them… ::phew:: “no, no, it’s the children that are wrong”
  6. Saying 'hair-es-ment' instead of 'har-ass-ment'. Come on, having the 'ass' in there opens it up for so many cute and fun jokes... which lead to more lawsuits, it's a vicious cycle
  7. Saying "a-gainst" instead of "a-gen-st". .. I don't know if that makes sense written down. I guess if you can hear the word "gain" in the word "against" you should be shot a-gain.
That is all...
for now

"Oh my science" is from a recent South Park episode. And "the children are wrong" from Principle Skinner on the simpsons
