It's called laziness and/or lack of phonics in school. Why do kids say AKS instead of "ask", or WHY N CHOO instead of "why don't you", or MUDDER/FADDER instead of "mother/father", IDJITS instead of "idiots?? I could go on forever.

Why do SOME people say "realator" for realtor?...they grew up hearing the word said that way and they repeat it, like having an accent.
Had a friend who said "flustrated" all the time which bothered me because I thought he meant "frustrated" and should say it right.
Then I looked in an unabridged dictionary and there it was: "flustrated, feeling frustation about a person or event"...geewhiz.

that's not a bad be conscious, regardless of the undeniable fact that it particularly is disrespectful. you're grandpa grow to be being unreasonable, regardless of the undeniable fact that it could have been extra suitable in case you will possibly have sat down and calmy instructed him that the challenge is particularly worth 33% of your grade and which you particularly decide to do nicely on it with the aid of fact college is important to you.

Regional dialect, Dear. Different strokes for different folks and whatever floats your boat.
Same reason some children sit on the shares to tie their choose while washing the TV while their mom warshes her hair.

It's a common verbal error. It's almost like people writing and saying "should of"/"could of" instead of should've/should have or could've/could have. That's a true pet peeve of mine.

For the same reason that people say "preventative" (for "preventive") or "orientate" (for "orient") or "noo-cue-ler" (for "nuclear") or "origination" (for "origin") or "supposably" (for "supposedly"). Ignorance.
