I really hate when people say "fustrated" when they mean to say "frustrated". Are they incorrect? Yes. If it becomes a natural convention. No.

People do that? Man that's stupid. I used to get really annoyed about getting spelling and grammar correct, but I don't really care as much anymore. I still make sure MY grammar and spelling is ok, but other people doing it? Whatever, language is an evolving thing and who am I to say that something I dislike that's become widely used is wrong?

I've slapped someone and said, "NO!" when they did it.

Nope, not technically. We've got past and present and then a metric fuck-ton of "auxiliaries" for everything else. ie" I will bang a whore. Bang is our verb in the simple present tense. Will is our auxiliary to indicate a future action.

I love your example.

Yeah, I'd probably have to if I heard someone say that. I mean, I try to be chill, but there are lines.

And like I said before correct isn't as important as not sounding like a retard. I'm a pretentious, judgmental fuck. I won't act like it, but I'm thinking it. Oh, I'm thinking it...(this is face to face conversation I'm talking about).

And "fustrated" is straight up unacceptable. I too would probably have to smack a bitch were I to hear such an atrocity.

what's really getting to me is the dropping of the entire last syllable. "vacay" for "vacation" was bad enough, but now we're getting "cray" for "crazy." come on, it doesn't take that much effort to fucking say "Z."

This is pretty much how I instant message a lot of my friends. My hands type at different speeds so all the words end up jumbled. I have to take my time to type things in order. Like this.

Wait, so you didn't have any mouthwash, so you used shit? Or is the shit why you're using mouthwash(throatwash? You dirty girl...).

I hate how most British accents and some east U.S. accents (but it's much, much worse in Britain) seem to have no comprehension of how to deal with the letter "r" when it's at the end of a word. Or when it's not at the end of a word. It is carrrrrrrr not cah. And it's America not Americuurrrr.

I hate the fact that I can't come up with any serious complaints right now. Grrrr, Republicans.

no, it's like an angrier more self deprecating version of the blues. I picked it up from the book breakfast at tiffany's which defines it differently from the movie.

My girlfriend does this to a bunch of words. She picked up the Boston accent. I won't talk to her until she says the Rs.

Wait so not only do we get the spelling & definitions of words wrong, we pronounce them all wrong too.

Pretty much fuck you.

I'll keep my british accent and not sound like a twat.

By the way... a lot of people do pronounce the R in the U.K. we have a very large collection of different accents and colloquial dialects here, it depends where you're from. Don't make generalisations.
