Pet peeve of the day-that extra syllable

Old fogey here complaining again!

Next to the texting, I really hate that extra "uh" which is now added on to words. Like - "No-uh" and "I miss you-uh"

they even do it on my soap!

Do you mean like..."That's a spicey meat-a ball-a..."

My two least favorite mispronounced words:

Jewelry - it's not jewlery!
Realtor - it's not realitor!

I am happy to say I have not heard the extra "uh" coming out of my kids mouths yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Yet another reason why I'm not a huge fan of the southern accent. People around here tend to make one syllable words into two syllable words....I even find myself doing it.

"What bugs me the most is when people end every sentence like it's a question."

I have a friend(ish) who's started doing that even in emails! She'll write "I didn't like '30 Rock' last night? I thought it was kind of lame?"

Nuclear<----nothing between the "c" and the "l"

Replacing "what" with "who". "You wanna who?" Not that cute, actually.

The chica glottal stop that was all the rage can stop now. "Di'ent" "Manha'en" "Buh-ens"

Mister Matt, I agree completely with the "Di'ent." And other variations. It takes much more effort to speak that way, so really, what is the point?

I hate when people say things like "who all was there?" Why can't you just ask "who was there?" The 'all' is completely unecessary.

I love when John Marshall says innermi'ent and ma-ha-an.

Or people who say, "Where is that at?"

Don't get me started on the suddenly rampant use of apostrophes to make words into plurals.
