or "lololololol!!!!!!"

My mom uses that all the time online, and it kills me. "Mom, that doesn't mean that you're laughing really hard. It means you are laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud..."

My great aunt thinks lol means "lots of love." My aunt had surgery and posted on Facebook asking for prayers. My great aunt said: "good luck with your surgery. We'll pray for you. Lol" I told her what it meant and she still does it.

Haha. This is adorable.

I hate in conversation when women's voices get higher at the end of sentences. It makes everything sound like a question. "I'm going to the store? Getting some apples?"

I don't like when people (mostly teenagers) use the word "like" every other word. "He was like so cute and like I really wanted to like talk to him, but I was like way too shy."

I also hate "Um." I try to never say it. When you're typing you don't use it because you pause to think, so why do you use it while speaking? Just take the pause and think about what you're saying. Don't use a filler word. "So um I was um thinking um..."

also conversate. my husband thought this was a word for years because it was in a biggie smalls song. no joke. and my mom and i made fun of him. then one of my friends used it. and i told her to get the fuck out of my house.

and all the sudden. it's all of a sudden.

there are a bunch of things my husband says that bother me but english isn't his first language/he grew up speaking a different language at home. so i forgive it.

and the term f-bomb. say f-word or fuck. it's not a bomb.

Definitely agree with "irregardless."

My big annoyance is people who say, "I could care less." when they really mean to say, "I couldn't care less."

Ain't

Any slang variation of the word pregnant

Leaving vowels out of words... Cld shld wld ppl. Vowels are fucking important!!

One FB poster always says things like "guys are such asswholes!" If you can't spell your curse word then you shouldn't use it.

When my 45 year old mother texts me "what r u doing tonite. Im gonna go 2 bed. Gud nite." Why did you bother texting me. I can't respond without keeping you up and you already got my hackles up with your grammar!

When people use bad spelling purposely and it's the same amount of letters as it would be to do it correctly. My cousin goes to werk, feels guud, and thinks her hair looks kewl. GTFO!

When people are really articulating well and then suddenly they drop "irregardless of the fact" or use is instead of are.

I cannot stand when people on Facebook say "dey" instead of "they," "do" instead of "though," "dat" instead of "that," and "da" instead of "the." How many freaking times did they have to spell those words wrong before their phones just said "fuck it" and quit trying to autocorrect?!

littlemonstermama · November 2013

I hate it when people replace "whenever" for "when." "Whenever I went to the store yesterday, they were out of spaghetti sauce!"

I also hate it when you're at a restaurant and the server says "I" instead of "we." "I'm sorry, I'm out of spaghetti sauce right now. I can replace it alfredo, though." The restaurant is out of sauce, the kitchen is out of sauce, YOU are not.

I've also noticed a lot of people confusing worse and worst lately. Worse is to compare two things. Worst is three or more. Two examples I've seen recently were, "I have the worse headache," and "It could be worst."

So I'm guessing you don't like when we say "Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints"?

We also spell go wrong .... It's "Geaux Saints or Tigers". Actually it's not spelled wrong we just get confused with our languages.

Laissez les bon temps rouler! Lol

DH frequently says that he has Apple Time do get something done, not realizing it is ample. Nerd! Any adult that says to another adult they they have to go potty. We're adults, you can just say you are going to the bathroom. And wiener, if you're speaking about anatomy please use the correct term, and if you're talking dirty please be more creative.

preggers, prego, pregly, etc

They're all awful. Add "down there" to my list, too. It annoys me most when people use this in reference to shaving. If you're going to talk about shaving your axe wound and don't want to say vulva/bikini area/some other word that is completely acceptable at least come up with something amusing.

Oh dear... Those are my bad habits. Unfortunately passed down by prude parents that never refer to pregnancy by its own name... My mother called me "eggo preggo" the other day- even I'll admit that has taken it too far.

Personally, I'm not too keen on people telling me how "fer serius" they are.... Drives me nuts.

It drives me crazy when people pronounce "costume" cosh-tomb. That probably bothers me because I've worked in costume shops. I CANNOT take a person seriously who says they need to rent a "cosh-tomb." It's cos-toom.

Along those same lines is the word "ornament" pronounced "ord-a-mint." Quit adding extra letters!

Hahaha, I do occasionally say "who dat?" Or "who dis?" But only out loud or in text to my friends who know what I would sound like if I was saying it out loud!

Double negatives. I don't have no milk. Drives me bonkers!

They easiest way to remember if it is 'it's, or its or your or you're' is to break up the conjugation- it is, you are and see how they work in the sentence. If it doesn't make sense then it likely isn't the form you are looking for. Also- I'm with you on the real spelling, actual words and proper pronunciation. And here's the thing- language is very powerful in many ways. If we don't use proper language when speaking to our children how can we expect them to be articulate? Kids only learn what they hear, and using derogatory language or racial slurs - even in jokes, will teach them what is acceptable.
