| Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they? |

Re: Words that piss you Off
When people say much instead of many. The word doesn't really bother me, just the grammatical error. I was at my freind's house one time and he asked his dad "How much games are there in an NHL season?" I wanted to scream

Online:
"PWN" or any variation of it. I especially hate why people actually say it with the "p" instead of just saying own.
Regular: polynomial. I had this nun who taught math freshman year in high school. The annoying way she said that word, and the amount of times she said it within a class period, almost drove me mad. I hate that word with a passion

Re: Words that piss you Off
"Gay" used as a pejorative.
"Cohort" used as a singular noun as a synonym for crony, rather than as a plural collective. (A Roman cohort was a group of soldiers, sort of like "platoon" or "company."
"Decimate" used as a synonym for "totally destroy." When the Romans decimated a village, they killed ten percent of the population, which hardly wiped it out.
"Infer" used as a synonym for "imply"--they are closer to antonyms.

Re: Words that piss you Off
Word like "girlz", "phonez" - basically anything ending in "s" which has been replaced by "z".
Rapper-speak also makes me cringe. I die a little inside every time I hear the word "blud".

I've heard this a lot too - some overly dramatic kid in my school said "I totally decimated all of them" (talking about a video game).

I like the word decimate, I would never use it but I think it sounds... interesting, I suppose.
I hate the word extreme, it's just ugly.

 "LOL"
There's been a paradigm shift in chat communication, something that is theoretically funny but not worth a laugh achieves a "lol" on the chat screen, while a chuckle gets a rofl, and a laugh out loud gets a OMFGLOLROFLMFAOLOLOLOLLERGASM!!!!11ONE
Seriously people, just call it like it is.

When I was living in France, it annoyed the hell of me when the mother said, "tiens" or "yaourt." "Tiens" means literally "hold," but you say it when you're handing someone something, like "here" in English. "Yaourt" is yogurt.

Re: Words that piss you Off
Two words I just dislike, for no apparant reason, are cherish and cloth. I can't explain it, but they just sound wrong to me.
I also have problems with the word fanny, when it's used to mean someone's backside. It just seems ridiculous
~
I'd also like to add that I hate most types of internet/texting abbreviations and the overuse of acronyms. But I'm not even going to stoop down low enough to classify these things as actual words.
Yes, I hate them THAT much.
