I watched some bits and pieces of American Id0l tonight. At one point, Diana R. is telling a contestant to "pron(o)unciate"... is that a real word??? Maybe it is, but I kept wanting to yell at her to use pronounce or enunciate, not a mix of the two!lol What do I know! If pronounciate is a real word, I'm boycotting it... don't care for the sound of it!
And while on this topic, do you know what I despise hearing - "seen", as in "I seen her yesterday"... it's SAW, you SAW her ... I'm fine with seen used in the proper tense though!lol I don't hear the incorrect "seen" here too much, but I've noticed when I visit my parents that it's very common in their part of the country.

I know, I know...the 'seen' thing makes me crazy too. I have to say, though, that I'm a bit more of a 'written language' snob -- HATE when I see 'your' for 'you're' and stuff like that. AHHHH!!!!
