French Canadians have the habit of ending each sentence with 'there'...

Ya know there, we were driving down highway 11 there, and out of da blue there, we seen two mooses there standing side by each there..

We almost drive into them there, but we got lucly and missed them there.

I got so ascared, I almost spilled my beer in my lap there.

HAHA, damn, theres some funny chit on this there thread.

After reading Habibi's last post it made me think of the Wisonsin people and they way they add eh to every sentence. "How ya doin, eh?" "Nice truck there, eh."

My pet peeves in no particular order:

Irregardless

Adding possessive ‘s to a store or business name for example, Kmart’s

Not knowing when/how to use them or those

Supposibly instead of Supposedly

Not giving any respect to gender, for example, by calling my male cat she

Every rapper saying "you know what I’m saying" every other sentence. No I
I don’t understand. I can only understand about half of "what you’re saying".

Cool

My wife is from close to Seattle. She says "BEG" instead of "BAG". Just one of the things I get to pick on her for.

I'm from a small redneck town down here in Florida. You can always tell if someone is from this town or not just by the way they talk. Words like ain't and ya'll are a part of everyday language. Its sorta like stuff that Jeff Foxworthy does. What I hate is when someone tries to speak in a proper language especially when they don't usually talk that way.

Pet Peeves

How about the rocket scientists that call it a "mute" point... It's moot, moron.

Or how about when my 15 year old step daughter starts every sentence with "on my god, jenn..."

Or how about when people end their phone calls with "mmmm, bye." Did'ya ever notice that?

I'm originally from Bahston, now I live in Merryland. I went back to Bahston for Thanksgiving and was totally blown away by everyone's accent. I didn't realize how thick my accent used to be.

Don't get me started.

We went there one summer and it was like learning a brand new language.

It was quite an experience 'life-wise'
