It just sounds like we trying to combine both the British and the American pronounciation and the result just sound off.

Re: Terms dat annoy yuh!

oxygent
one in the ilant
souls (music)
televidgeon
shortridge of commodities

many of these - like &quot;voilence&quot; i hear from so called educated people and/or people who who love to preach and make speeches, especially in church or at school functions.

These same people including a Dr. at a celebrated teachers college will also abuse the tenses, for example:
I told him to wrote it yesterday.
He said he would searched for it yesterday.
Pastor made us walked through the community.
