(When I did a google images search of "proper pronunciation" this picture was there)
We have more useless college degrees in this country given to the most entitled and lazy generations (Y & Z). Aside from the idiot word "like" being used constantly and completely in the wrong context, people are leaving out letters. The biggest loss to my ear is the letter "g".
It's not just regular knuckleheads, it's highly paid newscasters and actors. Literally, I can not stomach Los Angeles news anymore because of this. Instead of what are you doing? They say, What are you do-eeen? or Instead of happening, they say happen-eeen. George Clooney is one of the worst offenders in the Descendants and he's an old fart.
While I'm bitching, the word jewelry is pronounced jew-uhl-ry not jew-luh-ry.
One could go on and on regarding this subject, so I'll just stop now.
Stop sounding stupid.
Thanks,
Katie

* Knowing the Difference Between "Their", "There" and "They're"
* THEY'RE going THERE with THEIR friends. It's called grammar, use it.
* "They're", "Their", and "There" have 3 distinct meanings. Learn Them.
* "You're" and "Your" don't mean the same thing.
* "To", "Too", and "Two" mean 3 different things. Really.
But I think I've made my point, which is that I agree with you!! I'm constantly appalled when people I have known for years, and have always assumed were somewhat intelligent, make these mistakes, and yes, there is a small part of me that likes them less because of it - color me shallow...
On a completely unrelated topic, have you watched CMT's "Sweet Home Alabama"? It's a Bachelor-esque show set in the South - stumbled upon the 2nd-to-last episode and was totally hooked and thought of you and the Dums and your Bachelor issues. Am secretly hoping for an all-day marathon before the finale so I can see the whole thing...and am only mildly embarrassed by my hope... ;-)
Love,

Nancy!
DeleteI'm looking for Sweet Home Alabama now. What a delight.
Yay for you.

I say like all day long. I'm like and then he's like. Sometimes I don't even finish with a word i just make an expression or a gesture. I'm like eye roll and he's like angry face. If you take away like I don't think I could express myself.

Dum,
DeleteThis comment made me laugh out loud because I can picture you doing it. Usually your "likes" come out after a couple glasses of chardonnay. And, on you ...I like it. You are such a Cali girl. Like ohmigod.
Love,
