Re: Does dialect bother you also?

Yes. The other triggers you mentioned are my triggers too. I think it's funny if someone pronounces something wrong, but if it's over and over, even after they've been told proper pronunciation, I get pissed. Also if someone repeatedly uses the wrongname for something, like referring to their iPod touch as an iPhone or calling a certain group the wrong name (i.e. PATA instead of PETA) I get very annoyed at that person. Maybe it has to do with sound or maybe just what I assume is the person's ignorance. But generally my trigger people are my close family, so at least I'm not yelling at my friends and colleagues.

Every time I hear someone say things like "ya know" over and over in their conversations or pronounces something wrong it sets me off.

Other triggers:

Yawning

Chewing

Slurping

Breathing heavily

Metallic screeching

Certain people when speaking the more nasally languages sets me off. I keep thinking I'm racist or something. But maybe not after all? <3 ArleneSent from my iPhone

I'm from the South and lived for a time in New England. The heavy accent of

some people there really set me off... not particularly the general sound of it,

but the tendency to switch endings like saying " butta " for butter and " pizzer "

for pizza, or calling a water fountain a " bubbler " . Argh!! Also, hearing

otherwise educated people saying " could of went " instead of " could have gone " or

things like " He really ran good " ... those set me off, too.

On a similar note to yours, if I hear " like " used three times in a single

sentence (i.e. over and over again), it makes me want to slap the person.
