I cant stand the word moist - it freaks me out. Otherwise fetus. Its gross.
Slang terms I cant stand d!ck and when people say somethings homo. It just sounds stupid. And the word Aye which people add to everything. Like "Funny, aye?" |

It also drives me insane when native English speakers write "should of" instead of "should have." The amount of people who can't speak or write their own language correctly is just astounding.

The grammatical nazi's are taking over but I want you to know that there is a linguistical rebel force, spreading the gospel of "living language." No one pines about not being able to "correctly" use "be" anymore, as in "we be going." You know, this inspires me, I hate the word "correctly." Its so judgemental.

Up here where I currently am in the arctic, communication is often in english, but it's most often not the first language of those who speak it. Here, it's not uncommon to fuck yourself in the mouth with a cup of coffee in the morning. Nor is it uncommon to rape a cheese if you want some sprinkled on the pizza you're making.
This is of course not the correct use of those words, but I like it just the same.

Ha! exactly. I read a grammar book once that said living languages are hard to peg down and the example they used was priceless. It was something like...
"Groucho Marx once said that 'Love flies out the door, when money comes inuendo.' Its difficult to express that in Esperanto."

Also, I would cringe if I heard someone say "we be going."
