WHat I can't stand:

Pronouncing "elementary" as "ellamennery"
Pronouncing "interesting" as "inneresting"
Pronouncing "important" as "impordant"
Pronouncing "horrible" as "hoorable"
Not to mention: "Ya know what I'm sayin'"
"And whatnot"
And the queen mother of detested words "basically"!!
ARGGGGGG!!!!
