  • the views are like 22222 this is fuckin great!:D

  • Marry me.

  • somethink 

  • haha love it & I agree with this video but it's not "needa ask you something either" "need to" ;)

  • "Hey guys, I have REALLY essiting news!"

  • i hate when people say singk or amazingk that is not a word!!!!!!!! it is sing or amazing

  • OMG i always say su-pos-a-bly!!! i guess you hate my guts :(

  • For some reason, throughout the video, I thought that the headboard and pillow to her right was a person and was expecting them to do something.

  • Why do people call Sherbet Sherbert? It annoys the crap out of me and it's not correct at all. Orange Sher-bet. not Sher-Bert. And the only reason people made SHERBERT acceptable was because people were sick of being told it was wrong, and made it to be a correct way to say it. It's annoying.

  • I like this video and I find you extremely interesting for some reason :)

  • OMG the 'AKS' one is one of my pet peeves too!!!

  • Well, one of my pet peeves is that some of my classmates pronounces 'Tiny' as 'TEENY'. GOSH!!!

  • Biatch, oh no it's bitch.

  • i hate when ppl say cousint.... ITS COUSIN!!!!! NOT COUSINT!!!!!

  • i am from missouri and i HATE when people say "missoura"

  • @starmat55 not to be rude or smart. Just that so Many people get harassed just for speaking different. I say if you know what they mean, then they're doing it right.

  • @starmat55 if I showed your comment to so someone that was around 500 years ago, they wouldn't have thought it 'proper' English. The language is ever changing, and all people are different, it doesn't make them wrong. Unless you speak the way the very first English speakers do, you can't really judge whats 'proper'.

  • Wilhst or however you spell this fuckery. I know it's a real word, but whenever I see this shit, especially in formal writing, it makes me want to smack someone. While, WHILE DAMNIT!!!

  • I kind of laughed when you said "WaRsh"

  • 'but that's how i say it!' NOBUTYOURESAYINGITWRONG

  • I REALLY hate that Wednesday is pronounced as 'Wensday/Wendsday'. Why is it that the 'e' is ignored? It's just as much of a letter as a, b, c, d, etc. Sad that it just sounds completely retarded when you say WendnEsday.

  • Please marry me. :P I love that we both think "supposebly" is the worst. I feel condescending if I correct people when they say "supposebly", but they need to know. Also, when people don't pronounce the 't' in "often". You pronounce it in 'ten', right? And people say "who cares?" I think in order to sound at least mildly intelligent, people should know how to pronounce and spell. As arrogant as that sounds, it's so true.

  • hahaha this is hilarious!!

    Amarixe here on youtube pointed out a word that many people pronounce incorrectly:

    JEWELRY!  Jew-el-ry

    it's not jewlery!!! jew-le-ry

    arrggghh!

  • my friend has a bit of an oaky accent, & she says "warsh" for "wash," & "drawl" for "draw." I personally find it adorable. =)

    my pet peeves are more about people's habits or behaviors, I don't think I've ever had an issue with pronounciation (although, in school, I tended to correct the teachers' grammar & spelling, it made me feel smart, lol!) also, it annoys me when people on comment sections "wRiTe LiKe tHiSSSS gUrL!!!!" its like, really??

  • Comment removed

  • Here's another one: across does not have a T! So annoying!

  • This has opened my eyes to a serious world-wide issue.

  • i hate when people say "eXpecially" it's "especially"

  • OK, first of all, this is hilarious, not pretentious. Those who don't like it probably don't use proper English.

    Secondly, one of my biggest pet peeves about words is when people say "eXspecially" instead of "especially." This is another word in which there is no X.

    Lastly, in light of all these word mispronunciations, I am of the opinion that a new version of "My Fair Lady" should be made, only time, set in America.

    The end :)

  • My biggest grammatical pet peeve is when people say "of" instead of "have"

    ex: "That man must of been seven feet tall." *****must HAVE****or 've!!

  • Amen!! I'm so glad you put that last one in! I hear the first and the last all the time, and to me they're like hearing a rake on the sidewalk. ;)

    People who say "melk" and "pellow" instead of "milk" and "pillow" also get my goat. These are often the same people who transpose "pin" with "pen." You WRITE with a pen. I want to STICK YOU with a pin, when a native English speaker uses simple words incorrectly. ;) Kudos for the fun video, chica!

  • this bitch gotta fuckin chill wit it

  • I despise when people say volumptuous... I mean seriously! Where is the "m"?! I just want to scream at people: "If you spell it right then you'll say it right!!" Ahem... that is all...

  • When I moved to the south I started to notice that people like to add an S to the end of store and restaurant names Or if there is an S they take it out.

    Starbucks= Starbuck <--- kills me.

    Target= Targets <---- my mother does that, bugs the hell out of me.

  • Ok, I've started hearing this in Colorado. People are calling Chipotle "Chi-pol-te." NO. It's the name of an actual place, there is only one way to pronounce it, and switching the l and t is just wrong. JUST STOP.

  • haha you should come to long island. sodeR for soda, gawd for god, ideR, dissipeah, i don't think anyone here says anything right haha

  • babies who are born with hair...

  • haha i have the same pet peeve. garsh I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!

  • Very funny...I'd like to add one that has completely been embraced into the language as completely correct...ANYWAYS! Why would anyway need to be pluralized? There is no such word as anyways, yet even older people have adopted it. It makes whatever you are talking about sound idiotic.

  • pretentious 

  • Comment removed

  • My dad says "acrosst". I've tried to explain to him that there is no T in the word "across". He doesn't seem to get it.

  • Adding sounds to a word is called 'epenthesis', switching or moving sounds is called 'metathesis'. Linguists use these words to describe variation in speech.

    Let's accept how other people speak instead of proscribing grammar and pronunciation. This is how language changes and evolves!

    But yeah srs, expresso. Sure, the coffee is fast, but it's still an Italian word that has nothing to do with speed.

  • Warsh!! Just stop!! haha thats awesome i hear that alot living in warshington!

  • I go insane when someone says excape. EScape!!!!

  • you're warsh made me laugh! :L

  • LMAO you are such a Choch!

  • Comment removed

  • I have never commented ever on a youtube video, but this one deserves it!! This is totally my biggest ever pet peeve. So many examples but the only one I can think of right now is "wAndnesday" - there is no "And" in the word Wednesday. Canada is full of these gems, not just an American thing......

  • I agree with you, but you also have to take into account accents and lisps. Sometimes someone with a lisp or some one with a strong accent can't say a word correctly even if they tried. Yes they can, if they really wanted to, train themselves to say the word correctly, but that could take a lot of work that some people just don' want to bother with.

  • im still laughing over warsh

  • i hate when people say libary instead of library of when they say pitcher when they mean picture

  • this is great haha. one that my friends and I talk about often is people who say pEllow instead of pillow. Also mElk instead of milk... this is the mid-western slang that I must deal with on an everyday basis :/

  • i hate when people say drawling instead of drawing there no bloody L!!! or they say crown instead of crayon...i always smack people who say either of those :/

  • you just lip smacked at the end of the video...on one of your other videos you said you hate people who do that...supposably

  • nucUlar....nuclear...yeah...

  • There is no "g" at the end of "orangutan".

    Also, apes (orangutans, gorillas & chimps) are not monkeys. They have no tails. Another pet peeve of mine.

    :-)

  • Personally I have had an issue with people saying ideaR. There is no R at the end of the word so just drop it!

  • How about when a certain NBA superstar says he wants to 'win another champion-chip'!!!  Wait...what? It's championSHIP!!!! There are no chips involved here Shaq!...oh...was that my outside voice! lol

  • wow i can't believe u are the same person as "miranda"

    u act totally ddifferent

    LOL

  • CongraDulations! ARGH!!! It's congraTulations. It's a T, not a D!

  • CARNT!! That annoys me so much! There is no R in can't. It is cannot, shortened. Do you see an R in there? No, me either! :|

  • i hate when people say "pichures" instead of "pictures" and "drawling" instead of "drawing"

  • Omg i alwayyysss say supposably. lmaoo :P my baddd!

  • Heyyyy girl! Haha I've been watching your Miranda videos for over a year...And then I see this completely different side of you. SO. Have you ever heard anyone say "eck-specially?" instead of "especially"? ugh. Yep. That's one of my pet peeves. Keep it up. So good.

  • I also hate when people say eXpecially!

  • Just marry me already!!!!

  • Lol :P

  • LOVE this. :)

  • You should do more videos like this! I like seeing normal you!

  • Warsh lmao xD

  • I didn't even realize that sometimes I'll say "supposeBly" sometimes instead of supposedly... goodness. And people in my area of the country say "warsh." It drives me insane.

  • chimley

  • Oops. Meant to say, reminded me of...

  • Watched it again and elTse reminded if a similar one I've heard: alTso. Ugh.

  • Oh, and how (at least in writing) some people don't seem to know the difference between definitely and defiantly. They are totally different words, but people type defiantly when they mean definitely way too often! Alarmingly so. And don't even get me started on the myriad misspellings of definitely!

  • A word I hear at work a lot is realtor. It drives me crazy when people switch the letters around and pronounce it "relator". Seriously? Do they not know how dumb they sound? I hear parcel pronounced like partial sometimes, too. And ballot pronounced like ballad. Annoying!

  • Oh my God I so say "supposably" but I don't spell it like that! On my defense I grew up in Florida and I'd say virtually everyone I knew said it like that,lol.

  • Lol

  • Holy crap, ive been telling ppl about "Bolth" for like 10 years! Its so nice to FINALLY meet someone who shares the same annoyance! yeah, and my prof in my college math class says "bolth." Kinda feels llike a bullet each time i hear it.

    thanks for posting this.

  • Yes! I work with a woman who says "Pacific" instead of "Specific"

    "What are you pacifically trying to say?"

    "Could you be more pacific?"

    It drives me INSANE!

  • omg i completely agree!

  • Avril Lavigne says elTse in her 'Complicated' -song :D

  • woah u look SOOO different from ur miranda vids...o.o awsome =D

  • I learnt how to pronounce so many words better because of YOU commentors! :) Thanks!!

  • So,you are supposebly a spelling espert? If you aks me,you should talk about something eltse Miss fancy pants!

  • On "Friends", Chandler Bing dumps a girl for saying "supposably". You two are kindred spirits!

  • The faces she makes when she says "bolth" and "supposably" completely cracked me up. :)

  • @shrtcat actually the correct pronunciation is "anyway." There is no "s" on the end of that word. But nice try.

  • I get annoyed when people who have an itch say, "I need to "itch" it but I can't reach."

    "..."

    You don't "itch" an itch. You SCRATCH an itch.

  • Or how about the American version of "Sorry"...it is an "O" not an "A"...you are not sarry....your are sorry!!!

  • who cares, get a life

  • Oh, and, "Hey, guys!" turns into, "Hey, GUUUIIIIEEEEOOOUUUUIIIIEEEEES!­" With that really annoying, dog-whistle-like "s" sound.

  • Which do you prefer? Paper or plastic BEGS? 2% or whole MELK? Foam or goose down PELLOWS? Glass or metal mixing BULLS?

    And I'm with JoshySmoshy on that one, too.

  • Comment removed

  • OH MY GOD!!! some of my friends say "supposebly" and i'm always like...you mean supposedly, right? and they never get it! but it drives me crazy!!! 

  • I have a friend who says "wush" instead of wash. I once heard someone say "terlet" instead of the word toilet.  TERLET?! Really? I will beat you senseless with a puppy.

  • I think people do it to annoy me...just because they know it bothers me.

  • MIRANDA IS NORMAL!

  • I just replayed you saing "waRsh" god knows how many times xD

  • @alexandrosee ROFL ME TOO LOLOL

  • it bothers me too!

    i hate when someone says "pacific" instead of "specific"

  • I so agree! I hate when I hear people saying words so wrong.

  • i love you! please keep up the videos. :)

  • oh yeah. My grandma says anKcient instead of ancient. I don't understand.

  • anyways. anyways is not a word. drives me nuts.

  • @leadingladee90 i had the same argument. but my bf looked it up and there is such a word. =( ..it doesn't make sense to me!

  • @leadingladee90 YES IT IS

  • @leadingladee90 anyways is a word.i what the eff are you talking about

  • "Why can't the English teach their children to speak?!"

  • The worst to me is when people say "sanGwich" instead of correctly saying "sandwich".

  • just a quick note: I agree with most of these, except some of these are just functions of dialects. "elTse" and "boLth" are very southern pronuncations of the words. And "warsh" is a mid-atlantic Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philly pronuncation. Funny you hear these words out in Washington. (Which by the way is pronounced "Warshnin") ;-)

  • Agreed, 100%! Thanks! One of my pet peeves is "REALATOR" instead of the correct, "REALTOR."

  • Also, the misuse of there, their, and they're, your and you're, two, to, and too etc etc

  • I have TONS of pet peeves too. I get annoyed too easy and it has to stop.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone is on the internet and you make a reference to something, let's say, over facebook on a status or something, and they don't know what the reference is, or the lyrics are, or whatever and they ASK YOU on your STATUS when google is just a click away.

    Is it that hard to copy and paste something into google to find out what it is? That's why its there! Oy.

  • This drives me absolutely crazy, too. Thank you for attempting to set the record straight.

    My worst would have to be:

    drawL

    For the love of all things that are lovable...NO.

  • Haha. This makes me so happy. I'm right there with you. :D

  • ur kind hot

  • Haha it's weird seeing you all normal after watching all of your Miranda videos.

  • @andie12345679 i totally agree:)

  • 'YouSE."

    There is no plural of "you", so don't say it. It's like a rake going down my spine when I hear it...

  • no, seriously, jewelry vs. jewlery. drives me freakin' CRAY CRAY!!!!!

  • How 'bout the proliferation of apostrophes in written language to form plurals? Pluralizing a word ending in "s" is the proper way; Albeit, after the "s". For instance, Keats' poetry. I see things like this all the time: "How are you guy's today?". Hehehe... Yes I used 'bout, but I was clearly writin' phonetically in a common American dialect :)

  • For me, BirFday is the equivalent to nails on a chalk board.

  • You know you're a singer when your biggest pet peeve is diction =P

  • @tggold I know!

  • haha I had already guessed you made Miranda out of your pet peeves, but this just proves it XDD

  • "skellington" (Skeleton) and "Stelotape" (selotape) are the ones that annoy me the most lol xx

  • Pellow.

  • i had a friend who said the word "western" as "westren"...it drove me nuts!!!!!

  • I hate, and I know I am one of few who agrees with this, but I hate it when people say coke, it's coca cola! I don't know who figured that ca = ke in coca, but they were wrong

  • @bdprimer101 "Coke" has been a registered trademark of the Coca-Cola company since 1944, so it's not like this is a recent development. Are you 70 or something?

  • @catemichelle is 17, haha i don't know why i say it that way, haha

  • @bdprimer101

    @bdprimer101 Coke is a trademark of the coca-cola company. Diet versions of the drink are packaged as Coke. as are flavored versions.

    Therefore, it is acceptable to assume that if something is called "cherry coke" the version without cherry flavoring can be called "Coke".

  • Eww when people say "probally" instead of "probably" it makes me want to die!

  • i know "purposely" is a word, but it has always sounded incorrect to me... i always say purposefully

  • I haaaaate when people say "anyways." ANYWAYZ. Ugh, annoying. It's "anyway," and that's it.

  • I hate when people say, "Know what I'm sayin'" after every sentence they utter. No, I don't know what you're saying. Please die quickly.

  • And I always say, "you won't find any berries in a libRARY." :)

  • Idear..hate that one

  • My grandmother calls popsicles "popsicums." Also, she calls binoculars "binoggles."

  • ES-ITED

    What's up with that?

  • I HAVE AN IDEAR!

    *shoots self*

  • My x husband used to mow our lawnD and my mom likes to eat asparagRus. One that gets me is the misuse of the word ignorant. Improperly pronounced "ignert" and meaning rude or insensitive.

  • ALSO people say eCspecially...like wtf

  • chester drawers.

  • the worst: drawling as opposed to drawing, and when people leave out a letter and say foward instead of forward. i'm like, uhhh do you say baward too?

  • I hate it when people say "drownd" or "drownded"...WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY GETTING THE EXTRA D?? Oh, and excaped instead of escaped. lol I'm glad we feel the same way about extra words :) I used to say bolth but someone corrected me and I say it correctly now. :D

  • crown-crayon.

  • Peek-sa :/

  • HILARIOUS.

    i have one.

    often. pronounced "off-en" THE T IS NOT PRONOUNCED. GAHHHHH

  • god damn you Americans have always done this anyway, it's in your culture. Colour has a "U" in it Colleen!! 

  • pitcher/picture gets me. also EXSCAPE. No. It's escape.

  • hows about they  laceRs

  • Wa[r]sh is yet again another accent thing.

  • SupposaBly is not a worB!

  • LEG vs. LAY-G, EGG vs. AY-G, etc. annoying.
