My best friend has a bad habit of saying "haffina" as opposed to saying "having to" it drives me nuts and even though I always correct her she still insists on saying it...her reason? Because she feels that since she isn't in a professional setting that she doesn't have to use "proper english".

Thank you for saying something. I was going to say that it's pretty socially inept to go around correcting people's speech in every day life. Don't correct someone unless that person has asked to be corrected.
