Bull!

Always have, always will. (My mama, she done talked real good to me!!! )



My other pet peeves:

heighth instead of height
asterik instead of asterisk
ax insteat of ask
relator instead of realtor
calvary instead of cavalry (when referring to the Army instead of Christianity)
plus a few others I can't remember right now


And my number one, all-time, can't-stand-it-anymore pet peeve:

nucular instead of nuclear (which the Moron-in-Chief can't get right to save his soul....)

 

I had a friend you used this one, I think it is a LonG Island thing

 

puhscetti instead of spaghetti
itch instead of scratch
oreos instead of orioles

 

I've only heard it as an ethnic mispronunciation, not a regional one. However, that's not to say that it didn't start out in a certian region. It's just as irritating whichever way it started! ("What...you want to AX me something??? Who are you, Lizzie Borden????????)

 

I've never heard anyone over the age of 4 say this, but just thinking about it is making my bones hurt.

 

you think YOU got pet peeves....?

Great websight, Alan! (tee hee!)

I forgot another HUGE pet peeve of mine--the utter lack of knowledge about apostrophes, commas, and the like. When did people stop knowing the difference between plural and possessive (or plural possessive for that matter)?????????????????
