Alright already, enough of the only one "t" sound in the word important. [View all]

I absolutely lose 90-99% of my respect for someone's message when they tell me how imporunt it is to hear what they have to say. Why is this happening? Is it to associate oneself with something cool? What is the game? Do we understand that the punch line for this perversion of the English language includes the perpetrators laughing behind our backs at how "hook, line and sinker" gullible and "grab shiny thing" groupyesque this proves us to be?

Is it really important enough to artificially and intentionally alter your speech to conform with another stupid fad? Please, somebody disabuse me of this aggravation. Explain why it shouldn't bother me when I am assailed with evidence proving that the species is ever accelerating in its relentless self-debasement and well-deserved extinction.
