I'm wondering about the lazy person that decided that instead of saying "does not", or "did not" that we should put apostrophes in place of the "o".
Is it really so hard to leave that o in there?
How much extra time does it actually take?
Apparently, apostrophes are a lot quicker.
The curves on the o can take longer if you haven't had practice.
Take the word didn't.
Instead of leaving it as "did not", we shortened it.
But in the past few years people have changed it to di'hint, dropping the second d altogether.
What about the first "d"?
Will it be changed one day to an "h" as well?
So we'll say, "Oh no you hi'hint!"
I think there is some letter discrimination going on.
Case in point:
I live by a city called "Renton".
Most people say "Ren-ton", some say "Ren-tin", but now, some are saying "Reh-in".
The t is disappearing.
Instead of eating toast for breakfast, one day you'll be eating hoast.
I'm pretty sure we need to do something about these disappearing letters before it's too late.
Get on that, will you?

O's are the bane of my existence.
I am known for making t's disappear. Mountains become moun'uns,Layton becomes Lay'un.
Love the o's, but guilty on the t's. I'll get on it. I wouldn't want to be eating hoast instead of toast. It just will not taste the same :)
WV is in on it, too.
WV=spiti
spiti out already will ya!
Here is a spare. o
what will happen to roast too? i'll bet in New England it's already 'oast.
I am an actress, so I ALWAYS speak clearly using all my vowels and consonants....
Hoast...isn't that the novel by Stephanie Meyer?
I lived in Renton from Kindergarten through sixth grade! Back then it was always called Renton. Sad how things change.
I had a roommate who would drop the first letter of random words if she found herself on a terrible date. Our favorite was "toast". Funny that you used that example too.
Hi'hint made me laugh. That's kind of how my next door neighbor talks. But I'm pretty sure he has speech therapy.
You can't talk sassy with all those o's and t's getting in the way. They're kind of uptight like that. Listen: "Oh no you hi'hint jus' hake away my hoast?!" OR "Oh no. You did not just take away my toast." Nope. No sass at all.
I live in a town named Denton. We are in Texas. No one says "Den-ton" or "Den-tin." We all say "Den-in." It's a Texan thing- you wouldn't understand. ;)
Happy Anniversary!
For a short time I lived in a small town in ohio called napolean, but everyone would correct me when I said it that way and tell me it is:
"napo'ean" with no l, it was weird.
remember when everyone was saying
a'ight, instead of alright?
I love the clapping people!
trying to become a follower.... trying.... I am an idiot...
The day I eat hoast for breakfast is the day I turn into a parasite. Bad pun very bad punning.
I'on't know what y'all's problems are, but I ain't got one.
sheeeeee-oooooot
