Found one!

Agreed, I've heard a couple people I know talk like that and they're from the NE

Regional dialects are good and cool with me, pretty much no matter what they are. Sometimes its cool to hear how others use the same words.

That is regional dialects.

The topic of this thread, butchery of easy to pronounce words, is irritating.

"Lemme axe you a question"

"impor-ant"

I've noticed it. It's ignorant.

I'm fixin to get in the cah and warsh yous mouf out. This is impor'nt bayby Boi.


Did I get them all?

I feel like this thread is like, just being mean.

Not sure if people remember years ago that there was a major push for ebonics. People have just gotten lazy over the years on how they speak. It doesn't help when social media and pop culture is injected into the situation.

You are officially old when you ***** about the way young people talk.

We're going back to the dark ages.

This is a gen z thing and primarily in those born in the early 2000s and later. I don't ever hear anyone but teens talking like this.

But every generation has weird speech habits that transcend regional dialects. I've met boomers from everywhere who can't say "wash". I used to think it was just an Texas thing, but there are 55+ year olds from all over who say "worshington" and "throw it in the worsh". This generation also struggles with various consonants, particularly "didn't". It's always "did nit", dinnunt", "didnet", etc.

Millennials, primarily women, often finish their sentences with an upward inflection that makes everything sound like a question. A lot more people in this generation also speak unnecessarily loudly all the time.

Bad grammar is something up with which i shall not put.....jus sayin

Definitely women older than Gen Z who do this. It almost sounds Cockney.

The need to spend more time at the libary.

What's worse is loose instead of lose
And verse instead of versus

I can't be the only person who has noticed this. Younger Americans routinely mispronounce words with certain double consonants in the middle. The best example of this is the word "important."

The youngs don't say important. They say impor'ant.

Button becomes buh'un.

Certain becomes ser'un.

I'm certain this is a sign of our downfall as a nation.

YouTube. TikTok. Twitter. Instagram. Facebook.

You are who your friends are..."social media" is what youth are IMMERSED in these days. I see dadgum 7 year olds with iphones on TikTok. It starts early.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!! So true. This drives me literally insane. My wife watches all these instagram ladies and their channels talking about outfits/makeup/hair/style...Every single one of them speak exactly the same way. If you couldn't see their face, you wouldn't know the difference. plug & play with upward inflection.

Cash me ou'side. How bow dat

Tiktok and Instagram for sure must be part of this phenomenon.

Might be here to stay.

In the 1990s we laughed about Ebonics. Now it is the norm.

Dropping T was particularly popular in Boston in December 1773.

Kind of like dumb Bri'ish people

Aye, gov'nah.

That last part is because they wear headphones or buds so often that their hearing is probably already damaged and also it's popular to speak to be overheard, not just heard.

In the age of social media and instant, worldwide communication regional dialects easily escape their regions.

I have a 16 year old daughter and she does this occasionally. I then tell her not to speak like an idiot yankee. Your manner of speech affects how people view you and I did not raise her to speak like an idiot New Jersey hood rat.

It's pronounced "stim-U-lus check"


Paw paws out there can't pronounce Chipotle & thinks Kroger is plural.

Whines about how these crazy kids talk today

my grandpa always called mozzarella cheese Maserati cheese

That's racist!

How about the use of "go's" and "went" used
Instead of "she says " and " she said"? I even hear those used in the media.

I have one kid in middle school and one in high school and I have never noticed them or their friends pronouncing words like that. I have heard it in Cockney and some other British accents. I have no idea what the Kardashians sound like.

Maybe they want to be like this guy.

Yet Ali G never knows what time it is in any time zone.

I took me way, way too long to figure out that

"ion no"

Is short for "I don't know"

That's the big one that bugs more than it should.

Other than North Easterners who do this, I actually think the habit comes from pop-culture influences. Most of it starting when Cardi B became famous.

Also I think this is mostly a female phenomenon but I'm sure guys do it occasionally as well.

Why people want to sound like babies, I don't know. But I blame Cardi B.

Idiocracy - movie becomes more true everyday.
