How about bof? Example, I have to go bof places today. Ugh.
My DH says I pronounce words wrong sometimes but who is he to decide? You should hear the words he butchers with his accent.

I dislike, very strongly, anytime the English language is hacked apart and cobbled back together as if by a spastic maniac. Several good examples have already been mentioned.
"aks" when you mean "ask"
"could of", "should of" or "would of" when they should be "could've", "should've", or "would've"
"could care less" when you really "couldn't care less".
And generally any time something that's not a verb is used as one (there may be a few exceptions to that one though).
I can't even understand, why women would use such a term.
It makes me sick.
There are some times that word is exactly the right word. I use it to describe my SS's step father who is nothing but a drunk abusive ahole. I think it fits rather nicely.

What is bof supposed to mean?
Bof=both. I have to go bof places today. I have to go both places today.

No. Just really ghetto speech. And yes, I said that.

Dis-associate. Or disassociate or however you spell it. It's not a word. The word is DISSOCIATE. There is no A in there. My pet peeve. Especially since as a counsellor we work with a lot of people who dissociate or are dissociative and professionals who should know better (or in the least, own a dictionary) use the word dis-associate. IT'S NOT A WORD! If it's your profession, learn the terminology! Read a damn book! Even google knows that dissociate doesn't have an A in it. And google is not a professional therapist.

That's frustrating, Tig.
I am used to people saying "li-berry," but don't think I've ever heard a librarian mispronounce the word.
