I totally agree. However, when one pronounces the word in such a way that vowel and consonants alike are rearranged to make a completely different word then one has gone too far!

My biggest peeve is when people say "I will be sending it to you tomorrow" or "I will be going to the game tonight."

It is better to use the active voice and say "I will send it to you tomorrow" or "I am going to the game tonight."

"We Be...." What is it with "be"?
