    Grammar bothers me more than abbreviations/childish words.

    People over 21 *need* to stop ending sentences with prepositions, it drives me mad. Also, "and" is not a decent way to start a sentence. I hate when people inflect as if they are asking a question when they are actually, making a declarative statement.

    I really do hate when people use cute words instead of curse words, if you say "fudge" instead of fvck it is likely you'll end up with a 'fudging' black eye.

    Beyond those things I'm pretty blasé about which words people use.

    'Mummy' and 'Daddy'

    Oh, this! I know someone who is 42 years old and still calls her father "daddy". Then again, she still lives with him, so that shouldn't be surprising.

    Im 34 and still call my Daddy, Daddy and always will. Of course, I am from the south.

    must be a southern thing....I called my Daddy "Daddy" until the day he died and I still refer to him as such.....Mom on the other hand has been "Mom" for years.....

    I cant really say much on this. I say "whatever",,,but I use it more for the "ok, I dont want to discuss it anymore".(My husband hates that word") My daughter and I will say "HEY HOOKAH or HEY HO" but its an ongoing joke. YOLO gets on my last ever loving nerve. However, I am at fault for saying "REALLY?!?!" , "My bad",and "I know, right?" I dont think slang is really a BAD thing..... but, if your in public, I feel you should observe a certain level of proper behavior. Saying "WTF sup my homies. Dat be da bomdig mufu" Is NOT appropriate. But then again... I am relatively old school.

    Right. And you seem totally laid back. You seem like someone any Grammar Nazi would love to hang out with.

    Sammich and using ANY sort of text speak. Dropping the "yo" from "you" doesn't save you THAT much time!
