Not hear, but it pisses me off when people use alternate spellings of words to prove a point. Like emaculant or womyn.

There should be an official fear dedicated to this word. I know so many people who can't stand to hear it.

One of my least favorite words: brutal
I don't know why. I have just never liked it, in any sense of the word.

Then how are we to describe those 'breakdowns' that are so popular with the kids today?

I cringe when people don't conjugate this word. I'd rather hear "texted" because, if it happened yesterday, "She text me" is not correct.
Okay, Mommy CG just played with me nerves. She says "simular" (with a "y" sound as is "simulate") instead of "similar."  On that note:
pacific =/= specific
wheps =/= welts
ministration =/= menstruation

It doesn't matter whether they are saying "nigger" or "nigga". It's the same conotation and it's just a horrible word.

A similar irony as when other groups use potentially racially offensive words intraracially. I have heard whites call each other (since we're apparently typing this stuff out) "honky" and Hispanics call each other "spic(sp)," etc. Far be it from me to think my opinion on that matters to the people who do it, just like yours as a nonBlack person doesn't.
|
I can't say I've ever heard the word "honky" in relation to white people or "spic" in relation to hispanic people.
And your right, my opinion about the word nigger isn't going to change people from saying it, but the thread isn't about changing people from saying it, it's us coming and telling others what words we hate.

I don't like the word "douche", I don't have a real reason for my dislike of it, but it just sounds so ...
And when people say they're "flustrated"
And when people use "gay" or "retarded" to mean "bad" or "stupid"
When people say "as" instead of "because" or "since".... "I'm not able to make it to the party, as I already have plans"
ETA: And when people use "and I" incorrectly..."Eric and I's New House" as a picture caption...REALLY?

Not defending the word, but no, it's not.

Nope. People born in the 50s.
