When people whine on the internet about cultural differences in pronunciation. We aren't all American midwesterners.
I hate people who say they hate something and then proceed to demonstrate that they are exactly the type of person that they hate.
Also, I hate people who can't tell the difference between "its" and "it's". "Its" is possessive; "it's" is a contraction.

fixed.
Why would people want to remember things precisely on the Internet?
I doubt that even half the members on this site know/remember what an independent clause is. Or a semicolon.

Banned deucer.
your an annoying whore
ITT Lanturn unintentionally trolls TIK?
does az pronounce either t because I pronounce both just saying
fixed.
I never said I hated the misuse of the word "it's." it's way less idiotic than people who use apostrophes on plural words.
I relax my rules for rage-induced capitals. obviously i wasn't in a stable state of mind, and therefore couldn't regulate my usage of "it's"

Fixed.
I use grammar in the internet so I can practice it. Although I can go a little loose on the IRC.

ck is clearly a better male specimen
Guesstimate, shopaholic, chocoholic, and catsup are all words.
Periods after quotation marks is a perfectly legitimate practice.
Typing in all lower case I think is mostly done to save effort.
Not pronouncing T's is hardly incorrect, that's just a person's accent.
Have a nice day.

I neva wen' undastan' why all dem hoales haff fo' speak da kine supa tigh'-ass English anyway. It wen' soun' funny kine, 'cause da bugga all hamajang. [/Hawaii Pidgin]
Seconded. Especially the T's part, I'm from Utah and as far as I can tell, most people sound like that. (moun-n, - mountain) I don't consider myself speaking incorrectly and in fact, there is no correct way to speak. Of course, there are wrong ways to say things... which is different. Also, people pronounce white "hwite" if they're speaking Standard American. Just wanted to throw that out there.
One day I had a special class where I taught my Japanese students Hawaii Pidgin.
Fist, no plural form, just tell the number of items by the number. Also, no "A dog" it's "one dog." So, it becomes "One dog, two dog, tree dog, foah dog." (yes those spellings for "three" and four" are correct).
Then, no past tense words, just attach "Went" to the front, except drop the "t" from went because it's difficult to pronounce. So, "wen tink (think), wen do, wen go, wen try." Also, you don't "to" a verb, you "for" (dropping the r) a verb. So, "I wen' try fo' undastan" (I tried to understand).
So I wrote on the board: "Three cats climbed a tree."
I was so proud when they properly changed it to: "Tree cat wen' climb one tree."
