Maybe I'm just cranky today, but I can not STAND when people don't say the -ing at the end of a word. My officemate does this ALL of the time. Instead of deleting, he says deletin Instead of eating, he says eatin
You get it.
It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Re: Pet peeve (one of them)
I'm from Brooklyn, so I understand this COMPLETELY!
What's even better is pronouncing 'Butter' like 'Butta'....'Soda' like 'Soder'
However, you can't change folks...so try not to let it get so under your skin!

It may be a NY dialect. I drop my 'r's sometimes and put them in where they don't belong.

I'm usually very laid back, but I had a weekend. Read my previous post about taking FH to ER.
I'm much better now that I'm getting my LIW fix.

I know exactly what you mean, it really bothers me too! But I'm guilty of not pronouncing 'ask' correctly, I have a bad habit of saying it like 'ax'. I just can't help it!!
