Willfully wrong words
The Lexicographer’s Rules writes about the practice of people purposefully mispronouncing words. As far as I know, this is very much and English (as in language) thing, or possibly even just American. While its possibly that I do this from time to time, I can’t really thing of any that I do on purpose. I do know there are a lot of times that this really gets on my nerves. Words that fall in this category make up a large portion of the hypothetical words-that-I-don’t-like list. Examples include: preggo, compooter, and fo’ sho’.
What other examples do people know of? What do you hate, or dare I say like or use? Feel free to comment.
