I thought I was the only one who cringes everytime someone murders the English language.
Here are some of my pet peeves:
1. You do not FUNERALIZE a person, you EUGOLIZE them. Funeralize is not a word.
2. I seen is not correct, try I saw.
3. Disencourage is not a word, try discourage.
4. Words that end in ed, do not need that extra syllable to show that they are in the past tense. Ex. liked, not likeded. To be phonetically correct, the ed should actually be said as a t.
5. Where you at, Where's that at, ect. is not correct. My mom always replies with behind that preposition.
This list could go on and on. I have a BS in Speech/Communicative Disorders.
