How about a certain host stops using the word "juicy" as an adjective to describe everything. As in "this throw is a juicy length. "

Good grief how trivial!  We as American's get picked on and condemned enough, and frankly Im sick of it.

America is made up of people from all over the world and therefore we have  a multitude of regional dialects.

You can't control this so why let it get to you?  Worry about what you can control.  The older I get, the less I care about such trivial things.  

If it matters to you that much, be sure you never move to another part of the country.  The different accents, pronunciations, etc will drive you crazy.

A very large portion of the English language consists of loaned or borrowed words. There is absolutely no requirement that the word continue on with the originating language's pronunciation.

On the importance scale, this gets about a -10, from me! 

We all have things that irritate us, but, I agree with other posters.  Sometimes, for your own sake, you just need to let it go.
