Okay it not a secret Nowhere on this Earth that I HATE this fake, gross, made up word, people use called, converste. Yes I hate that word. I don't care if Webster's Dictionary added it to a list some years ago. If it did Not exist it would not have been added. Oh and yes I roll my eyes at Merriam-Webster for adding that dumb word to the list of acceptable words even if the definition reads "nonstandard form" of Converse
I want to know who was the first dummy who said that word so I can create a cyborg to his time and have it clamp their lips shut and force them to say the correct word, Converse. Converse is not just a brand of sneakers. Converse means to to exchange thoughts and opinions in speech or to talk. Here is the Link if you don't believe me. It's not slang. It's not a speech impediment. It's being stupid. I just don't understand how this wrong word grew to become acceptable to say. I heard LL Cool J say it in "Accidental Racist" and that to me was the worst part of that "eye roll worthy" song. My message to LL Cool J "The correct word is Converse". Say it with me, Con-Verse.
Hey, I might be petty for this blog but it's my blog I can be petty if I want to. I am also not saying all the words I say are grammatically correct. I have to stop myself from saying "Gonna" and say "Going to" many times a days. I really Hate This word. Many potential suitors have become dismissed because that word was spoken from their lips. My jerky return quip when one ask "Can we..." is "When you learn to converse, you can have my attention". Yes I'm a jerk for that but if he was really interested he would use the proper word, offended or not. (Yes, I have had some correct that word and conversed with me despite me rudely correcting them.) So, let's converse with others about using the Converse instead of it's nonstandard form. Pretty Please? For me? If not tell them to steer clear of Outspoken_Diva because I will correct them in a heart beat.
Okay that's the word that drives me crazy. I think everyone has one, two or a few. What word makes your ears bleed when you hear it? Tell me about it in the comments below.
