a) WRONG PRONUNCIATION
I mean it's okay if your English isn't that good. But if you're a lecturer? That's just bad. Especially when you're giving lectures in front and keep repeating the same word with the WRONG PRONUNCIATION! (Okay, one thing. Is it actually proNUNciation or proNOUNciation?) (Checked, it is proNUNciation, unless if it's pronounce, then it's with the -noun) Hahah.
And once there was a friend of mine (Kelantanese), she said leopard as Lee Yo Pard. -_____-" Oh God. Corrected her right away. And then there were, toothbrush said as teeth-broosh! (Okay this one, I asked her (a different Kelantanese), what is 'berus gigi' in English? She right away answered, "Teeth Broosh" (I secretly LOL-ed in the inside). Broosh = brooch. I was like, RIGHT.. I just can't take it. Lol. You know how to pronounce it right? Which is so wrong and annoying! lol. It ticks me off, really.
Wait, I shall list them down.
*Skeleton - skle-ton / sklair-ton
*Leopard - Lee-yo-pard
*Toothbrush - Teeth-broosh
*Scheme - Sheeeeem
*Clerk - Slurk
*Transaction - Transition
Well, I'm not insulting or making fun of people here, it's just a reminder to not make silly mistakes like that, or else you'll definitely look silly! (I still find some kinda funny, but some are just annoying!) Hahah there's a lot more, but I can't really remember.
b) DoOfuS wHo tYpEs LikE ThEsE
Wow, isn't it tiring like that? Gotta stick your pinky on the Shift button every now and then? Seriously man. Probably yOu FinD iT cOoL bAcK thEn To tYpE thiS wAy. Yes, back then! It's no longer back then, now is it? But seriously, I just find it FREAKING irritating. It irritate my eyes. Be more civilized please.
c) Smsz / typez this wayz. Whyz gotz zz allz thez timez onez?
Okay, sometimes I use 'cuz' as short for because. Because is just too long. lol. and cuz sounds better then cos or cause. But hey, I'm not only talking about it in English. Also in Malay, it is even more annoying!
*Last - laz
*Guess - guez
*ofcourse - of corz
*class - claz
*miss - mizz
d) Bahasa Melayu (Pelik) Sekarang
*Perut - pewot (Seriously, wtf? what's wrong with you?)
*Comel - chumel / chomeyl
*Ke - kew (A simple ke, like, "ader kew?" Why do have to add 'w' in the end? Don't even get me started with the 'er)
*Gemuk - gemoxxx or temoxx (wtf?)
*Tau (as in tahu) - taw
*Korang (as in kau orang) - korunk
*Sayang - sayunk. even worse, CAYUNK. (eww gross)
*Kita - kte
Seriously, sometimes when my malay friends text me, I had to ask my other malay friend to translate. Because their short forms and their malays (like the one explained above) are way out of my league! I don't understand why, simple 'AKU' also have to become 'ak'? Isn't 3 letters short enough? Wtf is AK?! -____-"
Of course I speak Malay here, in Terengganu, and also with my family. But I use proper Malay with proper spellings, not all the time complete spelling but understandable.
p/s: For anyone who terasa / is offended by what I said, Sorry lahh okay :) Hehehehehe.

A lot more actually. But I'm too lazy to think. Shall continue soon! Got thoughts? Do comment :)
I'm still bored. I feel like I'm the only one left here. Walked to the toilet, and all rooms seem empty. Nobody walking around, but only this black cat named Juju. Named her that because apparently her eyes is juling! crazy eyes
