I dislike hearing abbreviations used in verbal conversation such as 'ASAP' instead of saying 'soon'.
I, somehow, picked up saying the word 'like' way too much and it bugs me. I'm trying to break that habit because it just sounds uneducated even to me.
I don't like hearing E-bonics. I've never liked it. Why would you want to speak that way in the general population. It just makes a person sound like they've never attended school past 2nd grade.
I don't like hearing people say "Can I" when they really mean "May I". I always thing "Well I don't know CAN you?" but I don't always say it.
I dislike hearing curse words. It's not that it offends me really. I wasn't allowed to say them as a child and never got into the habit. It makes me cringe because of my strict training NOT to say them. I personally feel that if you can't insert a real word where that curse word is or if you're having to use multiple curse words in a sentence than what you're saying isn't worth being said or heard. Even if you are saying something valuable I have to struggle not to tune you out if you're cursing much.
