General Discussion

For whatever reason, the word 'seldom'. It doesn't sound like an adjective nor an adverb, it sounds like a noun. Why does it sound so wrong??




but also like 99% of all slangs because one day I just wake up and people are speaking foreign sounding words and I have to ask someone what it means like an old grandpa

just to get this out of the way, i absolutely DESPISE the current gen slang. it all sounds so stupid like "fr fr bussin no cap", "thats cap" or "fr? on god?"
you sound like you're experiencing a stroke when you say the abbreviations out loud.. please..

but as for other words? i absolutely haaate it when people say or type "gunna". i'm fine with "gonna", and i'm perfectly fine with "going to". but GUNNA????? it just irks me to a painful extent

Obligatory moist.

[font=century]I greatly dislike both "stinky" and "smelly," specifically the former. It's not even the connotation of grossness that comes along with them that I hate, as words like "putrid" don't get to me, it's really just the words themselves. I have to stop myself from physically cringing when I hear them. The "uh oh, stinky" trend a few years back probably didn't help, but the hatred was definitely there before that. Speaking of trends and this being a tangentially related subject, I absolutely despise that one "aughh" sound. The one that originated from TikTok, I believe. It seriously makes my skin crawl and makes me want to stuff cotton in my ears. It's so hard to just ignore too; whenever I'm watching a youtube video and the sound comes up, it's hard not to just turn off the video, because if it's used once, it's likely going to be used again. I get it's funny to some people, and that's great for them, but I just don't get it.

[/quote] [font=century]Also this. I still have absolutely no idea if cap has a negative or positive connotation.

I also dislike the word belly. I heard a child refer to her belly the other day and I wanted to say you mean your tummy! I'm not a fan of bum either, bottom sounds so much better. I also dislike the word hey, used by so many these days instead of hi It just grates on me for some reason.

[/quote] Generally, if someone says “that’s cap” it’s like “you’re lying” or “no cap” being something along the lines of “you’re joking/kidding me” I don’t like rendezvous or silhouette for their spelling. Saying them out loud is fine, in fact I like the way rendezvous sounds, but…I can’t spell them to save my life.

Impact
I just loathe how people try to use it instead effect/affect.

I look at it too long? It looks wrong. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY E'S IN ELEVEN???? :'(
