I suppose the phrasing of being educated just struck me, as perhaps they where suggesting there where groups of people out there, who don’t understand the pluses conventions concerning the appended “s”. I found it kinda funny.

However I could see myself doing such a think on purpose. I find it humorous when people get really worked up over such a thing. When I lived in Indiana, I almost always pronounced the “s” on the end of Illinois.

People who enjoy doing things to get people worked up are known as 'assholes' or 'dicks' in real life, and 'trolls' on the internet.

I've noticed evangelical preachers speaking the same way. The aaatheist! The gayuh! The liberulll!

So similar to saying “gawd”, “jeebus”, and adding “tards” as a suffix to everyone you don’t agree with. Or does that expand it not its own special category of assholishness? Just curious?

Also, what you think you hear, seems different than typing it out.
