oh, this is an eggcorn thread. I thought for sure this was a Ron Paul Revolution thread and didn't click until I had read every other possible new post.

?  Don't be so rude.

I had to provide an opposite side of the spectrum for "axe" and warsh was the most red neck thing I could think of. 

I thought you were saying "warsh" was racist.  Didn't realize you were trying to use this as a redneck example because I live amongst the rednecks in Oklahoma and the only people I've ever heard say warsh are my father and father-in-law who both grew up in very strong, western Kansas German immigrant communities.  Rednecks - no.  Hayseeds - maybe.

And by the way - I now hate you.

OK

Complaining about warsh is racist if you're saying it like "why do white people say warsh?" - just like when people say "I hate when black people say axe".  It's all perspective dude.

Since the rules have been broken: "crick" and "battrey" really aggravate me. Also can't stand people that say, "More prettyier" or the like. Let's not forget, "Firstly, secondly, thirdly, etc,  ad nauseum.....

i had a very dumb roommate (yes, it was a girl so this probably doesn't shock as much) who would pronounce picture as pitcher.  i always figured it was just accent from growing up in a small town, until one day i she left a note and spelled it "pitcher".   

Omg, saying "pitcher" when you mean "picture" definitely is a rural Kansas thing.

Other things I've discovered about rural Kansans as an outsider:

"treadmeal / windowseal" when you mean "treadmill / windowsill"

"hills / rill" when you mean "heels / real"

"woof / rudoph" when you mean "wolf / rudolph"

I don't like when people mispronounce any words, ask included. If that makes me racist, so be it.

FYI - "warsh" is not region, race, or age specific.

neither is "axe".  Maybe this belongs in the incorrect stereotypes thread.

These threads have been getting mixed up since they were started. What a ridiculous start to combofanning season.

[HeinBallz]

Perhaps I shouldn't have excluded mispronunciation of words - as after all the topic is centered around ignorant people.  I admit I was wrong and will allow this thread to continue in its current direction.  GO!

Thats part of the charm to combo season; there's just so much going on, people can't keep things straight!

Can someone tell me the proper usage of affect vs. effect? I think I'm doing them wrong.

Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun.

They both are both.

Yes, but in general, unless you are using a phrase like "This will effect a change in policy...", use "effect" as a noun, where it is much more common.

Affect is much more commonly a verb such as "This is going to affect me", and rarely used as a noun, unless you are talking about "affection"

This thread is chalk full of bad grammar examples.

I have never heard of anyone doing this ever

I can't believe this and do not agree.

[TheHamburglar]

FYI - "warsh" is not region, race, or age specific.

Race or Age - no.  Region - depends on your definition of a region.  "Western Kansas" thing - no.  Prevelent in a community that was originally settled by German immigrants that formed a mini-dialect, like Hays and Ellinwood - Yes.  It's like how if you listen you can quickly tell if someone grew up in Lindsborg.
