How about when people who are being interviewed on radio or TV answer a question, and the very first words out of their mouth is "I mean, you know what I'm saying....." It's how they begin the sentence. No I don't know what you are saying, and I don't know what you mean because you haven't even SAID ANYTHING YET!!!!!!!!

One of my coworkers has a couple he says all the time:

"The point is mute". No, that would me "moot".

"It will happen this physical year". Make that "fiscal".

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

You should see some of the winners used down here in New Orleans. Here are some stellar examples:

"Earl" = Oil, i.e. I gots to change my Earl
"By" is used in a sentence as you would use "to", i.e., I went by my Momma's house.
"Made" is used to describe achieving an age, i.e., I made 30 this week!
"Where ya at", enough said...we call these people "Yats".
"For" replaces "with" in describing pregnancy. "I was pregnant for Judi", as opposed to "I was pregnant with Judi at the time".
"Fin" is used as quicker way of saying, "fixing", which in reality means, "preparing". Examples, "I'm fin to go there", or "I'm fin to make me a sandwitch". Of course, "fix" itself is bad enough. "Fix me a sandwitch".

Plus, all the wonderful cajunisms that have seeped from the Bayous into New Orleans speech. If none of you have heard a proper New Orleans accent, it is not a honey dripping southern accent like they show in the movies, it is much like a Brooklyn accent in reality.

Lived there for 2 years. The ones that got to me were when someone had relatives coming over they'd say "My Mommanem is coming over." Meaning Mom and Them and instead of "for real" they say "for true".

I notice that quite a bit of the hositility here is over, not so much incorrect grammatical usage, as dialectal inflections. Often relating to geographic regions.

Or the problems people seem to have with "joke talk." Like "sammich" or whatever. The people who use these kinds of words probably know they're wrong. But the words sound funny, so they say them because they're fun to say. Other examples that I use all the time:

-"Stragety" instead of Strategy
-"Pasketti" instead of Spaghetti
-"Diaphragm" instead of Diagram
-"Loco-cation" instead of Location
-"Nanner" instead of Banana
-"Beh-beh" instead of Baby
-and so on...

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

Speaking of "c'mon", I've seen people use "common" here on the forum instead. "Common, guys! Somebody buy my sweet Epi before I have to put it on the 'bay!" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

Last week I was at Walmart (another thread entirely). There was this girl and her "moms" in back of me at the register. The girl was wearing pajamas and fuzzy slippers. Her cell phone rings. This was the conversation:

Hello?
Where yo at?
Huh?
Where you at?
Huh?
Yeah.
Where you at?
I'm wif my moms
Yeah.
My moms
Yeah.
I'm supposed to be home.
We out shopping.
Huh?
Yeah.
I set where you at?
Fo reals?
Yeah?
Huh?
Come ova.
Hang out wit me an my moms.
Huh?
Yeah?
Where you at?

And so on...

What a waste of a phone bill.
