14. Unless you're from England, you have no right to say "idears"

And New Englanders, and southerners, much as I love ya, when you say "idears" you sound like a fuckin' moran. Same with saying "warsh" and "cah" and other word in which you place an "r" that isn't there, or take away the "r" that is there.

Let me go on record and say that it just sounds dumb, and makes you sound dumb.

Unless, of course, you're from England, in which case that's kinda the standard method of pronunciation.

15. 'Idears' people should be beaten senseless.

Same goes for people who say the word "says" when it should otherwise be 'said' or 'say'.

16. I'm from Maine, so lots of folks around me say "idears". It's just

a dialect thing.
