Hmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn okay, I didn't want to have to sink to the low level I am about too, but you all forced me to

Mispronunciation is one thing and you can take it or leave it, but there is something worse, it's LAZY speech. What is lazy speech I hear you say??? Well according to me, here are my number 1 and 2 most hated lazy speech sins.

[1] Anythink

I simply cringe when I hear people say this, it has irked me for more than 30 years, it is my greatest lazy speech sin.

[2] 9867 9071 <----- Typical phone number, when spoken, it's Nine, Eight, Six, Seven, Nine, Oh, Seven, One. Of course, there is no such number as Oh, the number is zero, but lots of people substitute the number with the 15th letter of our alphabet (Upper case O, lower case o).

I have many more unfortunately, but these two reign supreme for me
