When folks put S at the end of stuff that don’t have an S in it. Especially here in the south. They call Sonic drive thru Sonics and the Shell gas station Shells. Shit drives me crazy

Frederick
Fred ... er ... rick
3 syllables, not 2.
That one never bothers me until someone tried to tell me that I'm the one saying it incorrectly.

? aren't all languages made up?
Y'all reaching on some of these, bro. I definitely say FRE-DRICK! I ain't met a FRED-E-RICK ia day n my life. Nor, have I been corrected on it.
Yes they are! They are that means that they are constantly evolving. Bad grammar today becomes The King's English tomorrow
I get corrected on it all the time. Usually by other black people who try to say I 'talk white.'
That's why that one rubs me the wrong way.
So if I say it correctly then I'm talking white, but being happy in ignorance and saying it incorrectly is keeping it real.
Fuck kinda sense does that makes?
I have a terrible habit of pronouncing the “b” in “debt.” It drives my wife insane when I do that 
I have to think about it when I need to say it. Lol
Me: “I need to get out of debt.”
Her: “What?! You mean ‘det.’”
Me: “Yeah, debt.”
Her: “Are you fuckin’ with me?”
Me: “No. Are you having doubts?”
Her:

I doubt we return to monarchies but from your sentence structure, you are already starting the trend.
Count your lucky starts. They called a dude back in high school FedDicks
Irregardless.
Ignorantly conflating SPECIFIC with PACIFIC.
I did have a supervisor who used to say, "Pacifically speaking." LOL. I'll never forget that.
Got a coworker who says "It's soap and wet" instead of it's soaking wet. Referring to the heavy rainfall outside, not her 50yo pussy. It rains alot in the GVRD.
My dad refers to IMDB as "IMBD" and gets mad when people correct him. For the past 10+ years. And he checks their site daily! And sees the damn name and url right up top! I asked him once what he thought of the Internet Movie Bata Dase?!
My mom still refers to fajitas as "frajitas", pronounced Fra Heetas. Huh?

My wife used to say that one too.
She couldn't say plastic either, it was PLASKIT.
My grandma used to refer to nectarines as "necratines" (sounded like dead fruit).
If grandma wanted to diss you and compare you to someone she was also mad at, she'd say "You are 2 peas in a POT", instead of a pod.
If she sarcastically wanted to diss someone who had an over-inflated sense of self and their popularity with friends, she'd say ... "She thinks she's so POP-LAR"
Miss you grandma. You were tough and gave no fucks.
I'm sorry. I could never respect someone like that.
Boss: "55th, why were you late?"
Me: "I'm sorry boss. Can you be more Pacific w/ your question, or perhaps more Atlantic...dumb bitch".
When someone says "he really turned his life around, he did a real 360" when they mean 180.
I had someone tell me they did a full 365 one time.
I asked them if they turned their life around every day of the year.
It flew over their head. I tried not to laugh.
Xavier its pronounced Zavier the X is silent. Its also not pronounced Xzavier.
The way white people say any word that begins with 'an'.
Your mother's sister is your aunt or auntie. She isn't an insect.

Got one more.
Les Misérables
My stank ass was doing the movie thing on DVD back in the day. Neighbor was like you have any new movies? I said got that les MISERABLE. He said you mean Les Misérables?
Naw MF....
I don't mind being corrected. Better to learn the right way to say shit even if you will never watch the shit.

The use of woman as plural and women as singular irritates me sometimes when you come to realize they meant the other.
Back in the day, this was usually accompanied by a Caribbean accent and it was like a confirmation that the speaker was from the Islands. Now I hear it all over the place, even from white folks here and there.

It's like when people say my arm is itching me. And, I have to itch my arm.
Country thing for the most part.
Booksack=backpack but folks on the west coast were quick to correct the fuck outta me when I said booksack.
