Does it diappoint/upset you?
Do you say anything?
If so, what?
this is a little silly, as it is not exclusive to black people, and no I am not dissapointed in ANYONE who says this. these are not people who will be taking my job anytime soon.

It annoys me when anyone of any color speaks or writes incorrectly. I dont get so involved that I shake my head or get upset. Although "it's" for "its" and "loose" for "lose" on the innernets probably bring me closest. And a plural pronoun to represent singular ("If your friend wants to wear your coat, let them"). I know this is common nowadays but it still bugs me no end.

No. Why would anyone get upset about that? I don't have much regard for people when I can't understand much of what they say but I don't mind accents, different dialects, etc. It's not really correct pronounciation but then neither was the guy in Boston who wanted me to pok my cah.

I dislike it as much as when I hear people say INsurance.
I can't help but to elicit an incredulity smile.
I get a breathing spasm when I hear height pronounced hythe.
