My sister says the "t" at the end of "nougat". It's a small thing, but it makes me want to smash her face in.

instead of smashing her face in, why not just say how it should be pronounced next time she does it? if it really, really bothers you so much.

In America, she would be correct.

I do tell her. Often. She tells me to shut up, and then points out that I make up words all the time to compensate for my lack of vocabulary, which is infinitely worse, apparently. And we're not in America. *pout*

[Drizz]

also, "acrost."

oh yeah, she can turn the ghetto off if need be.  it's her environment.  i grew up the same way, if you talk the "right way" you are made fun of and called a nerd. People will think you are stuck-up.
She's a straight-A student actually.

i'm the same way.   I can sound like somewhat  of an educated person but in a moment change the way I talk.  Especially when I'm pissed off.

My pappy was from west virgina.  He had no teeth, tattoos all over, and sounded like a banjo with his thick accent. He didnt make it past fourth grade and his grammer was definitely off that charts in the "no-no" zone.

But he was one of the smartest men I've ever known. 

Sounds like my photography teacher.  She's very intelligent, and very sweet, but everyone treats her like an idiot because she has a very heavy Southern accent (which, if you live in north Jersey, is kinda odd.).  The principal will come in to the class and talk to her like she has only half a brain, because of her accent.  Unfortunately, he's making her "retire" at the end of the year. :/ Which is fine, because she has her degree in Engineering, and can just go back to that job instead of teaching bratty, slutty high school students will take Photography because they think it's a bullshit class...

"Ironical".  That word bothers me.

Even though seen is a word, I can't stand people miusing it thusly:

I seen this movie the other day...

[such a classic girl]

"Ironical".  That word bothers me. 

you know, i absolutely hate that word as well, but it is technically a word and can be used as such. but i think it makes intelligent people sound incredibly stupid when they use it...why not just say ironic? ironical sounds like it should not be a word...

My mom likes to harass me when I pronounce 'badminton' like it's spelled, 'bad-MIN-ton.' She says, "IT'S BADMITTEN!" She does this only to annoy me, though.
