Why are people now saying ‘use to’ instead of ‘used to’?

[FaithHopeAndSkulduggery]

And leaving out the ‘ed’ on lots of words.

‘Bake beans’. No it’s baked beans.

‘I use to like that show’ . No, it’s fucking ‘used to’.

Lots of other examples I can’t bring to mind right now.

I want to burn the screen when I see that.

Also, when people say ‘long story short’ in conversation instead of ‘to cut a long story short’.

Aibu to hate this?

Long story short language evolves, your stuck in the 20th century. Grow up.

😵😭

Oh actually I think they were joking? Or at least I hope so.

All theses things annoy me. It’s lazy. I’ve noticed people drop lots of words in sentences. Just talk properly ffs.

I've recently noticed people typing 'A' or 'Am' when they mean 'I' or 'I'm' eg Am going to the cinema on Saturday, or, A really love those shoes!

Really grates 😩😖

I've seen it a lot!

@northernknickers I see that a lot too- my family is from Sunderland so I thought they were writing in the accent "A went to the shops".

Hate hate hate the missing d

Mash potato
Pack lunch

And then they do the opposite with "advanced notice of road closure" and I think whyyyyy??

I'm seeing a trend for adjectives being used instead of adverbs:

'They get on amazing'
'She has done this previous'
'They get on brilliant.'

If I saw "am going to the cinema" I wouldn't assume the "am" was there instead of "I'm" but that extra words were being left out for brevity. In a text message etc. I'd probably write "am going to cinema Sat" and not "I'm going to the cinema on Saturday."

Why wouldn't you just text 'Im going to cinema for brevity instead of 'Am going to the cinema'.

Same number of words and letters.

I know someone who writes 'Am' instead of 'I'm'. She doesn't do it for brevity, she thinks that's the way you write it.

It's because the world is going to hell in a handcart, and people who write 'should of' will be second through the gates. (After Trump and Boris)

Alot instead of ‘a lot’. I’ve never understood this one - it’s not as though they match it up with ‘alittle’ 😂 Also ‘been’ where it should be ‘being’
Surely the only explanation is because English is taught phonetically in schools now?

Been instead of being

‘He was been unreasonable’.

Ffs

I've never heard this.

It's probably down to regional accents too.

The number of times I hear 'I rung him' instead of I rang him has multiplied. The same with sung and sang. The people who do this seem to think the correct word is wrong. DP does it and won't accept that he's wrong.

With written text is it because people are dictating their prose? I imagine that ‘he’s’ and ‘his’ might sound similar?

The one that's killing me at the moment is bias. Are you bias against him? I am totally bias against him! It seems to be everywhere.

"use to go" and "used to go" are pronounced in exactly the same way.

If you say "I used to go" pronouncing the final "ed", then you're using the pronunciation for the verb "to use" not the verb "used to" so you're the one who is wrong.

Yanbu and vaguely related, why are people leaving -ing off the ends of words eg ‘swim class’; ‘wait list’ and the like??

I haven't noticed the ed going but what I have noticed, where I live anyway, is the words did and see seem to have gone.
So now people say "Yea I seen that" or "I done it"
Even on TV especially sports presenters use seen and done.

I am not sure if this is a regional thing. It kills me when I hear people say 'drowned' when not using it as past tense. E.g 'be careful or you will drowned'

This.

@Iblinkedandiamold it annoys me when people 'do' countries. Eg 'I've done South America'. No you haven't. You've visited various countries and tourist attractions.

OP I'm with you.

Because they are wrong and stupid.

Surely the only explanation is because English is taught phonetically in schools now?

The only thing I can think of.
