There are many things in life that aggravate me.
I always had a hard time in school.
The reason for this was,
My teachers were complete idiots.
I think and care about a lot of things.
That other people do not care about.
There is a major problem in the world.
It is the way people speak.
Now before you go and get mad.
Read the rest of this post.
Any person who owns a business.
Any person who wants to start a business.
Any person who wants to be a better person.
In my opinion must learn how to speak properly.
The are thousands of words that are said wrong.
Fur, dare, er, ta, yur,
I am not a English major.
And I don't have much of a college education.
But I believe this is a problem.
The constant rambling of gibber jabber.
That makes no sense.

Are referring to how people pronounce words or their speech patterns. I think it one thing for a professional to have a lackadaisical persona and it reflects poorly in the speech patterns. However, I have a friend from northern Wisconsin who pronounces the word "pillow" like "pellow" and I do not think that reflects poorly on her.
However, what I do think reflects poorly on you is your incorrect punctuation and incomplete sentences. I doesn't make sense to me that you can complain about how people use the English language and then misuse it yourself.
Plus, I firmly believe that since language exists to communicate, it is not really a problem as long as you get your meaning across. You might look dumb, but you still have a right to speak.

I have a problem with the way I speak.
And the way I write. It just something that has been on my mind.

Pronunciation is important but can be off putting if you are over pronouncing things it may tend to make people feel belittled by you and not to mention irritated.
