Shit, I'd be happy just to hear broadcasters stop substituting the "Yu" sound for the "Ha" sound when uttering the word Human.
When the hell did we become "Youmans"? |

The language is constantly being "reinvented". Its not a dead language like Latin. Get used to it. The internet has done moree to bastardize the language in the last decade than anything else, but I don't see you swearing off surfing the net anytime soon.

Actually, I believe that blacks have caused most changes in the recent past. Many of the recently added words have been ghetto slang. bling-bling Others will come to mind later when I'm not tired.

Now, now...let's get our "yours" straight. Your is ownership, as in: Your dog crapped on my lawn. You're is a contraction of "you are," as in: You are the shiznit. I'm tired. Why am I typing?

Thats a constant process, yes, but nothing new, whether it is regional or racial in nature. The creep into common language of computer shorthand, spelling variations, etc has been reported to be an increasing problem. Thats the sort of thing I was thinking of. |

People are just rounding off the hard consonants (germanic languages, like english and.. err german).
Need more vowels (romantic languages like latin, french, spanish, italian). consonants - A speech sound produced by a partial or complete obstruction of the air stream by any of various constrictions of the speech organs, such as (p), (f), (r), (w), and (h). vowels - A speech sound, such as (e) or (i), created by the relatively free passage of breath through the larynx and oral cavity, usually forming the most prominent and central sound of a syllable. |

That word is in the dictionary now, due to 'common usage' by highly educated buffoons. The dougle negative in that drives me nuts, along with the same buffoons mispronouncing 'forté'. |

Don't even get my wife started - she is an English major and an editor. Living in East Tennessee has been very frustrating for her. People there have some of the laziest speaking habits in the world (goes hand in hand with their work ethic.)
1. Asked - "Ast" 2. Can't - "Cain't" 3. Desk - "Dest" |

The Mr. says 'acrosst', and every time I hear it I want to bitch slap him. 'Irregardless' gets under my skin like you wouldn't believe. It also bothers me when people interchange 'cavalry' and 'calvary'. Two different words, two different meanings. Get it right, people! When referring to backup, do not say 'Bring in the calvary!' It's CAVALRY. Look it up!

Proper pronunciation of the English language is a factor of geography, genealogy and physiology. While each word has its denoted pronunciation people in different regions of this country and foreigners pronounce it differently. People from different ethnic enclaves of the country also pronounce words differently. One example is creek. Some would speak the double ee as E while others would pronounce it as an I.
What someone might view as a dissonance to their ear others would relish as a variation and investigate the speaker’s antecedents and place of residence. That's the power of the language we speak today. The words are constantly morphing and changing even as the country morphs and changes with each influx of speakers. The English spoken in the US is markedly different than that spoken in England. Winston Churchill, the great British orator and statesman said it best when he stated that Great Britain and America were two great nations separated by a common language. The yout of tooday will prolly be up a crik iffn we dont learn 'em rite, nuff said. Uff da.

Actually the name frige was prolly derived from the Guardian Frigerator Company which was purchased by GM and later became the Frigidaire division. They even had conversion units to convert ice boxes into friges. |

This started a long time ago. If you can thoroughly confuse the spelling of a word, it's easier to confuse the meaning.

WTF? ESCAPE - not EX-SCAPE. Sheesh. |

Grown up, college-educated men now commonly use the hoodism "goes yard" or "going yard" when an MLB player hits a home run. Makes me think the guy ran onto the field and took a piss.
