Thanks: Gave 28, Got 124 | Americaneze
I have noticed on a few website forums that some people slip into Americaneze when posting. For example: mum-mom, anyway-anyways.
I know a few people on other forums that, when you talk with them, speak in English yet post in Americaneze.
Just wondering why.

I'm going to hit the next person that refers to July 7th as "7/7". And don't get me started on Haloween.

Worst one for me is when people pronounce the word ASK as AKS (A-R-K-S)
Seems to be more common by the day, it's not that difficult to say it correctly is it?
