    My pet peeve is still "you don't know nothing about ...".

    When the logic construct of your statement is the opposite of what you are trying to convey, there is a problem.

    I understand that language evolves and is malleable, but it's most base function is to communicate and when someone butchers the language to the point where what is being said becomes unclear they are going against the very point of language. Sure, it may be easier to type but if the message is unclear all you have done is quickly and effectively communicated nothing whatsoever.

    In life your words, both spoken and written, are a major conveyance of who you are to others. I would hope that most people would try to not convey themselves as morons on a regular basis.

    P.S. I speak some Spanish, so when I see " que" it registers as "what" in my brain not a truncated form of "queue", so by trying to shorten it for "ease of communication" it actually just makes it more difficult in a case like mine.
