The F-Word(s)

I’m a little vexed lately.. I’ve become miffed, pissed, peeved, and perturbed. One could say I’m irritated, irked, and annoyed. More so than usual, I suppose.



Why?

It’s because the common vocabulary has taken a deep slide towards no longer simply being slack but downright limp and loose. No one cares. No one’s doing a single thing. Our kids are hearing this garbage everyday and no one cares. Of course, I’m talking about the f-word. Actually, it’s a couple of f-words.



No one is saying “frustrated” properly. 

And “February” is seven kinds of screwed up.



You see, it’s the fact that too many people are dropping the ‘R’. These two words have been with us for near decades, if I’m to believe their respective etymology, yet somehow we’re dropping letters like they’re 2.0 start-ups.



“Fusstrated” and “Febooary” don’t count. Those aren’t words. Those are the No-Frills of words. They’re the cover-band of words.Those are the cheap, knock-off K-Pro sound-alikes of words. 



Do yourself and your English teacher a huge favour and jam a brand new “R” directly into both of those words and slam them around your lips like you bought them the steak dinner. You owe it to yourself to not sound like a drive-thru squawk box. 



Why not go buck-wild and roll them like a Frenchman?! 

“Fr-r-r-r-r-ustrated”

“Febr-r-r-r-r-r-uary”



Please, I beg you do me this small favour and maybe you can come off not sounding like a total fruck-up!
