Americans are getting way too lazy, we can't say the whole word? Or as I suspect, we don't know how to pronounce/spell those longer words.
Same applies to cars.

Yep. For example I once heard somebody say LOL in a conversation, pronouncing it "lawl" and I wanted to bitchslap him.

I recently saw an ad that was talking about Atrial Fibrillation and saying "or afib" for short.
If you have something seriously wrong with your heart you ought to know the proper name of the disease you will probably die from.
"Loose"instead of "lose", as in "poor grammar and poor spelling make me loose hope for the intellect of future generations".

Atrial fibrillation is almost universally referred to as "a-fib" by medical people and has been for more than 100 years. It's a very common heart condition and it would be very rare that someone would ever die from it.
V-fib, on the other hand, definitely tends to be a pre-terminal event.

Don't necessarily disagree with Dennis, but I probably wouldn't add "Recce" to the list, as it is simply the British variation of "Recon," and use of the term dates from at least 1940 -- if not earlier.

Latin.

I agree on the Latin but I love to use French terms like les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pase (http://frenchfinest.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/les-gouts-et-les-couleurs-ne-se-discutent-pas/). I am a longtime reader of National Review and they habitually used such phrases which drove my to distraction because I didn't know what they meant and could not conveniently find out. With the internet that is no longer a problem, just search them. It's even easier if I give you a nice link. I think they are fun. I try to improve my language skills and this is just a part of it. For the record, I am not a pseudo intellectual, I am just a high-tone redneck. Though I do have a PHD. That's right. Suwannee Tim has a PHD. A Paxon Highschool Diploma.

One thing that gripes me is folks that make no effort to spell, punctuate and capitalize. This shows respect for the reader and makes reading easier. I generally won't read posts that are not spelled, punctuated and capitalized.
I dislike the "Mossy", "Remmy" and "shotty" stuff but if you complain that just encourages them. In a perfect world everyone would do as I told them. I don't expect that to happen soon enough so I work on not being bothered by such.
One thing that bothers me a lot more is people holding forth when they know little or nothing about the subject.

Latin.

This has got to be some kind of contextual thing. I find Latin useful on admittedly-few occasions, but would rather see people elevated to a point where they are familiar with some basic Latin expressions and phrases than dumbed-down to the point where we lose contact with the language altogether. You still tend to see a lot of it in the military on distinctive unit insignia and such, and as long as it serves a purpose, I find it an appropriate connection to our cultural lineage.
Definitely with you on the arrogance that is all-too-often brought to the table, though. Some people embrace Latin with all of the elegance of lipstick on a sow, but then, intelligence-for-show is always bloated and pretentious, whether it happens to involve the use/misuse of Latin or something else entirely.

Pique is French in origin and pronounced 'peek'.

Stella Artois - Belgian (they speak French), pronounced 'ar-twa' as in the three-way fun fest by the same name 'menage a trois'. It is not A-torres.

Hate
:)
-I can't stand when affect and effect are interchanged and used incorrectly.
-I hate when people say "I could care less" when they really mean to say "I COULDN"T care less".
-The whole "WTF", "OMG", "LOL", "ROLMFAO" thing pisses me the **** off. A big "SMD" to all you pricks!
-My old Texan Roomate from college used to say "Let's go get some lick" meaning liquor and it always eerked me. I did laugh everytime he said "Dang-o" though, and adapted it to my vocabulary as well.
I agree the bushy, dissy, middy, shottie, fo-tay. 9 mili shit gets old.
Oh and the next time someone refers to their guitar as an "Axe", I'm going to take it outside and try to chop a tree down with it. I play and prefer "guitbox", or "twang slut".

She teaches English and she really hates when I revert to street slang and Ebonics for certain things, let alone the use of my bastardized LA Mexican slang.
As far as speech is concerned I just hate words used that are over accentuated. Then the addition of tonal nuance and inflection when unneeded is horrifying. You know the speech I refer...Flaming Gay man speech. It is fake. Men don't grow up speaking this way. So why the act?

I hate any "druggie" slang -especially when gun owners use such slang. E.g.:
-got a little stash of . . .
-scored some . . .
-get happy on the . . .
And I really hate the term "busted my cherry on . . ."
Did I mention that I grew up in the 1970s? (and I really hate what happened to the USA during the 1960s and 70s). Many of the terms I hate became popular during the 1970s.

"grammar", and "spelling"
As in, people who think grammar and spelling ability are the only signs of human intelligence........
I work on my grammar and spelling for no reason than to get better at writing. If you are going to do something, why not try to improve? When you are trying to evaluate someone based on very limited information you will use what you have and on the internet, grammar and spelling are obvious measures. You may not like it but it is a fact. People also react to your clothing, cleanliness, fitness. Instead of bemoaning facts of life it might be more productive to adjust to them.

I've been published, I adjusted by having an editor. But thanks for the pep talk...;)
In regards to spoken words, and word use though:
I really hate when people from the East Coast pronounce Oregon: oar-ah-gone. It's where my wife is from, and I lived there for 5 years. We have literally had people say: Oh you mean oar-ah-gone, when they ask her where she is from. Ugh.
Also when T.V. shows, and people say "shell casings", it's redundant. They are bullet shells, or bullet casings. Not both.

Well, since we appear to be going "all in," I've been known to grind the occasional axe over use of the term "Black Rifle Disease" (BRD); as if an appreciation or interest in these defensive tools is to be equated with some kind of moral or physical defect, affliction or ailment.
Just don't care for the connotation, whether it is intended in jest or not. We're already a "fringe element" in the eyes of too many, and it seems to me that the whole BRD thing sends just exactly the wrong message.

WHATEVER would be one for me.
Pique is French in origin and pronounced 'peek'.
Cashe - also French and pronounced 'cash' as in 'Johnny' or 'cold hard'. Not, 'cash-eh'.
Stella Artois - Belgian (they speak French), pronounced 'ar-twa' as in the three-way fun fest by the same name 'menage a trois'. It is not A-torres.
Before Freedom Fries and the general red-necking of America is was considered classy to have some understand of French.
Mkay; No such thing as "Cashe". It's either Cache, or Cachet. Cache is somewhere you hide something. Also can be used as a verb. Pronounced like kash. Cachet has to do with one's reputation, and IS pronounced Kashay.
The word I hate more than anything else is "POG". It's "Pogue", you ignorant red-neck ****ing children. It has a multi-hundred year history and just because you are illiterate grunts doesn't make it okay to hijack the word.
Same thing with "hooah". Hooah is ****ing gay, and the sound that braincells make when they die. At least the Marines' "Oorah" has a history and actually means something.
Orientate. This word sickitates me. It's "orient".
Latin.

Second that. The number of times I hear "educated" hipsters, and diversity nuts use this word a day is insane. I grew up in a trailer park, and I'm proud of it, as am I my ability to work hard, and get shit done.
SHTF
used in a sentence...
"What's a good gun for SHTF?
it's not one word but oh well....
"Mil-Spec"
"Battle Rifle"...that one is my pet peeve
With a mother that was an English professor I was forced to learn proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. The problems some have with "orient" didn't sit right so I looked it up in the American Heritage Dictionary(the ONLY dictionary according to my mother:rolleyes:)
orient-1. To locate or place in a particular relation to the points of the compass. 2. To align of position with respect to a to a reference system. 3. To discover the bearings of.
Make anyone feel better?
One phrase I am beginning to dislike since I've heard it fifty times in every training class is "good to go." I'm just waiting for someone to say "G2G." Then I'll LMAO while keeping muzzle discipline on my boomstick that's good for when SHTF, mkay?

It's literal translation is, 'that which can be demonstrated'. If my memory serves me correctly, it's a term often used in mathematics. People often use it (incorrectly mind you) as meaning, 'quite easily done'. I was asking if that's what they were referring to, or if they were referencing something else that I am not familiar with.

Your point is absolutely null and void given the context of what I'm talking about.

Before this happened it was completely phonetic.
Oh, and people also tend to judge regarding the lack of tattoos, in ability to think outside the box, and basic plain appearance of individuals as well. ;)
Congrats on your high scores in High School English though. I will let my dyslexic sister at Harvard Medical know not to share any of the medicine she is producing with you or yours since she can't spell for shit.

Y'all is part of the Southern dialect.
I would never call a sub sandwich a "grinder" or call a Coke a "pop" but that doesn't mean they're not words.
Y'all is a term I grew up with in the South. And this edumacated southern boy will continue to use it. No matter where in the world I am, if I hear "y'all" I immediately know I might have a kindred spirit. Also, it was a great pickup line while single and in a non-southern state or out of the country. "How y'all doing?" "Where are you from?" "Let me buy you a drink and tell you." Y'all got me into many panties.

I love my state (w/Alabama a close second) and the usage of the word Coke has always fascinated me....."What kind of Coke would you like? I'll take a Root Beer." That's just the way it is and I'm not arguing. Besides, I can't stand the word pop!;)

I hate when people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", as well as the difference between "their", "there" and "they're". And for some reasons, I get annoyed when folks don't know when to put an apostrophe in "its" or "it's". If it's a contraction, use the apostrophe. If it is a possessive pronoun, don't.

Yep, well aware dude. Since the Saxophone was the first musical instrument that had the "Axe" nomenclature applied; and seeing as how I play both the guitar and saxophone, I choose to call my saxophone an "axe" and not my guitar. Personal preference. My guitar is my "Twangslut"; because she loves it when I twang the shit out of her.
This thread is "words you hate" not which words make sense contextually Vs. which do not.
I hate when people whine incessantly like a bunch of catty women about their petty dislikes.

Cool story though, bro. The dyslexic sister at Harvard Medical School was a nice touch.
Hate is a strong word. This thread is about words you hate, I put that out there. Yea you struck a nerve, but I was exhausted and ready for bed.
As for the sister, she's very real... ;)

Tactical and operator. I have one gun with both words on it. Tactical on one side and Operator on the other. What was I thinking? I remember what I was thinking. Got a good trade for a POS Colt Mustang 380 and I wanted to get it done before the fool sobered up! The "Tactical Operator" SA 45 was the most appealing gun in his gun shop.

And for some reasons, I get annoyed when folks don't know when to put an apostrophe in "its" or "it's". If it's a contraction, use the apostrophe. If it is a possessive pronoun, don't.
I struggle with this one all the time. And I feel dumb every time.
African-American?
I'm with him there. Actually mine is (Anything)-American. You're either American or you are not.
It's no small thing to me that people who hyphenate their ethnicity are usually descended from people who came from nations/continents that suck.
Your point is absolutely null and void given the context of what I'm talking about. You could be the most average person on the planet, and the most judgemental, and it wont change the simple fact that there are people much smarter then you that can't spell for a shit, and actually do things of value on this planet beyond buying too many consumer goods and having a four car garage... ;) In fact it was only relatively recently that people decided it was important to attempt codifying the English language. Before this happened it was completely phonetic.
Oh, and people also tend to judge regarding the lack of tattoos, in ability to think outside the box, and basic plain appearance of individuals as well. ;)
Congrats on your high scores in High School English though. I will let my dyslexic sister at Harvard Medical know not to share any of the medicine she is producing with you or yours since she can't spell for shit. Her occasional disheveled appearance, visible counter culture life style, and inability to type on internet forums mean you wouldn't want to talk with her anyway.
If your "sister" made it to "Harvard Medical" without learning how to proofread and use spell check then I'll take a pass on any "medicine" she produces, thank you very much. Furthermore, I'm going to take a much tougher stance on any medical doctor with whom I come into contact who is sporting a Harvard Med. diploma.:D
Ability to effectively communicate is mandatory is just about any professional field. There is a reason I was required to take 12 credits of literature/composition in pursuit of my engineering degree.
Is being able to use grammar and spell properly the only indicator of intelligence? No, I agree with you there; however, it is a pretty solid indicator of EDUCATION which is highly correlative to intelligence.
You are more or less correct about codification of English, which is why highly codified languages like Latin and French were the languages of the learned until anglophones got their act together in the 18th-19th Centuries and set about making the "rules."
it is a pretty solid indicator of EDUCATION...
It's one area of formal education.
I point that out because it was by far my biggest problem area. :(
Proper grammatical structure specifically. Reading I loved... Writing not so much. I could read two books a week, win the spelling bee, and act as a human thesaurus for my teachers (if I wasn't too busy goofing off). Just don't ask me about the proper use of commas or how to diagram a sentence (still makes my head hurt).
People have wildly varying aptitudes even in seemingly closely related areas.
... which is highly correlative to intelligence.
Only in that the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to work at/toward your formal education. Even that varies a great deal depending on your available opportunities and interests.
Intelligence in itself is for the most part independent of education.
BTW- I take back what I said in my first post...
I just heard someone says "deets/detes" (details) and I wanted to punch them in the throat. Petty... But visceral (can't help it). May have been the person as much as the word.

Allow me to submit a phrase, "....all day long....if I do my part." This is generally preceded by some fantastic accuracy claim like "My AR will shoot one inch groups at 500 yards...."
irregardless: there is no such word and makes the user sound like a dumbass (to me, anyway). When I hear that word used, anything spoken afterward is irrational and irrelevant, regardless of the speaker.
Your/you're: can't tell the difference between a possessive pronoun and a contraction - really? Or is it laziness? Same could be said for its/it's.
I can listen to fingernails on a chalkboard all day, but misuse of words as described above makes me grind my teeth.

I am not disagreeing with you at all. In fact it was very difficult for my sister to get her degrees because she did have to learn how to proof read, and edit her phonetic way of writing. I had a hard time with it as well. Some of it is probably familial, a lot of it though came from having an absolute shit english department at the public schools we went to. It's pretty funny when someone gets a full ride scholarship to a top school, only to have to learn basic grammar and spelling like they're in high school. She did it, and she succeeded as did I, and as do thousands of others.
But one discussion that is going on right now regarding the use of English, in relationship to the internet, and the quick flow of information, is the concept of phonetic English vs. codified. When I read a journal article in Science I expect it to be absolutely perfect, the same with my publications, your publications, other peoples publications ext. But when I get a quick two paragraph email from someone that is being written on one's lunch break I am not considering the spelling errors, and grammar mistakes as an indicator of that person intelligence. This is my point. I get sick of people on internet forums that can't win an actual argument resorting to someone's occasional spelling and grammar mistakes as tactic to divert the conversation away from the argument and towards the individual's shortcomings. It's a school yard bullies approach to debate, and it screams of immaturity and simple mindedness.
Could you imagine in a presidential debate, if one candidate was like: "Did you just hear how my opponent used the word "ya'all, he's stupid, I win!"
But, you're totally right, as are the others that have brought up points about judgement, and presentation regarding this. It's funny because the internet has really opened this subject up in a way that wasn't really talked about before. Written communication use to be among people that were affiliated, now it is random, fast, and with strangers. It takes place in the brief seconds we have between deadlines. Such a reality opens up a can of warms regarding people's differing levels of skill with the written word.
Yes, spelling/grammar Nazis are a pain and making an irrelevant conclusion about an argument based on grammatical errors is silly. I agree.
It's not a "word" you hate, but a tactic; the use of logical fallacies in arguments, specifically irrelevant conclusion. On that I can agree. It extends far beyond just internet discussions, and is the primary reason why I ditched research science in preference for engineering (well, that and money:D).

Spelling and punctuation make writings easier to read and show respect for the reader. If it ain't worth a few seconds of your time to clean it up, it ain't worth my time to read it. I don't usually gripe about spelling, punctuation and grammar except to stir the pot.
I hated the verb "running" as in "running a rifle", I don't "run" them, I shoot them. I'm getting used to it out of necessity. I can't however read the word "rock" used as a verb is in "rock my AR" meaning "shoot my AR" without wondering about the writer's intelligence and/or drug screen panel.

I work to improve my writing, I use obscure words, play with sentence structure and I always spell and punctuate correctly. I always wanted to write well but the process of doing it with paper and pen was way too much work. With the computer it is easy and fun. That is one of my little hobbies and it is a different issue from not wanting to read poorly written posts. I just don't have the patience for it. I don't get in a perfect snit or anything like that, I just don't read it. I don't expect perfection, just effort on the part of the writer. No effort, I don't read it, no big deal.
I was in Wyoming last March and everybody was SO pale! Looked like they hadn't had any sun for months! I told them they needed to get out, get some sun! It's good for you! They just grumbled and gave me funny looks. I don't think people in Wyoming get enough sun. I guess they must all be busy all winter flippin shit. Maybe they should flip their shit outside, get some sun while they're at it!

Not at all. Heck I've suggested to several members here over the years that they clean up their writing so as to help maintain a higher level of communicational quality.
But as recently suggested, this seems like nitpicking. Personally I can't really imagine getting irritated by some of the terms mentioned, let alone feeling hate for them. Just seems a bit overdone in my humble opinion, a lot of harping on trivial stuff if you will.
As it turns out, having come up dealing in dead languages like Old Church Slavonic, being aware of the subcultural background development of the English words and phrases I've grown to dislike due to overuse and mis-application is so comparatively simple that it isn't even a conscious thought.
That's fine, it's not a long jump to think I wasn't up on what it stood for. 1) It wasn't spelled out, B) it's a phrase and not a word, and III) I left out some context, so on re-direct:
When a person says "Let's think outside the box!" and the question at hand is easily solvable with painfully obvious line-of-sight, cause/effect logic, and one responds to the suggestion by saying "What if the answer is in the box, Captain Corporate Buzzphrase, you f**knut?" followed by the pointing out the solution and therefore showing the tests-well-doesn't-retain halfwit in question for the posturing ponce he is and thereby keeping him from providing any future input and getting some undeserving warfighter hurt because he thinks it's okay to use 30 words when 3 will suffice....
...okay, that last part is actually really fun if one isn't prone to suffering fools, so suppose that there's a warped form of good to be found in the absolute horror that is the state of the English language (and its practitioners), these days.
It's not even the words. They're merely symptoms, not the disease.

98.4% of the time, that's right where the answer is. Right there in the box, right where it is supposed to be.
1.28% of the time the in the box solution works almost as good as the out of the box solution.
0.32% of time the out of the box solution is significantly better.
How about "at this time", spoken in a context where everything is present tense. I hear this on the work radio a lot. If almost everything is "at this time" you don't need to say "at this time" every time you say something.

I have a special feeling of animosity towards political buzzwords and jargon. The world has gotten smaller and more fast-paced with the introduction of the internet and the blogosphere. These days, some pol or media type will use a catchy phrase once, somebody else hears it, and then it's off to the races. Suddenly that word or phrase is everywhere. Lately, the annoying "it" word has been optics. It seems like these words are spawned feverishly every 4 years or so, timed with elections.
In the 2000 general the word was "gravitas". Remember that one?
In 2004 is was "triumphalism". :rolleyes: (just when you thought John Kerry couldn't get any more condescending, right?)
Who knows what it'll be in 2012? I'm sure it'll be a humdinger.

Oh, just today on the drive home I saw a truck with vinyl graphics on the tailgate that said "So-and-so Kennel Chihuahua's". Grammatically, I guess they wanted everyone to know the truck belongs to a small Mexican dog.

What ^ said. Matter of fact, I challenge you to produce proof of a dyslexic sister who is currently a student at HMS, like her name and a screenshot of her student directory page, and an email from her at the address shown on the directory page that says "I'm xxxx's sister, I'm dyslexic, and I'm a medical student at HMS." You don't even have to post her information publicly, an email will do. You do that, I'll send you 10 new P-mags. You fail to do that, you take a 30 day ban for being a liar. Seem fair?
Good idea. I think I will too. Hannity uses is about fourteen times a day.

One thing Hannity does is ask people if they will say something and then demand they say it. Hilarious and retarded.
