“If your single, so am I” tee from Wet Seal simply reprints how so many people write these days.  I don’t know how it happened, but at some point “you are” or “you’re” became “your.”  I guess so many people did not want to take the trouble of pressing one extra key during instant messages and tweets. So while Japlish has been around a while, should we call this Ameriglish?

Most irritating words

Nearly 39 percent of 1,020 Americans questioned in the survey deemed it the most irritating word, followed by “like” with 28 percent and the phrase “you know what I mean’ at 15 percent.

Are these words simply being used because people no longer have extensive vocabularies and when they don’t know the right word, it is replaced by ‘like?’
