The other day I read a story where the guy said 'Legit' a lot and everyone was complaining about how it's annoying and asking if he can just stop...I liked it.

Maybe because it's a word I use a lot, but also because most people have a word or phrase that they say a lot.

I have gone through quite a few in my almost 21 years on earth... I remember a time when I said 'crisis' a lot (but in Afrikaans). My parents wondered why everything was a crisis to me... Who knows?

Now it's words like legit, I'll admit I say crap a lot, next level (don't ask me where I picked this up, because I don't know) and I'm pretty sure there are a few more, but those are the ones I say the most...and I say them a lot!

A lot of people that I know do that and it's okay, it's how you speak, but when it's writen in stories it's weird.

I get that it MIGHT get a little annoying to read, but then again, so what? It's realistic.

As a side note...my dad doesn't understand why I say these words so much or how to use them properly. He puts it in random sentences and just doesn't make sense. 😂 So I have an idea for a sequel (yes, a sequel to a book I haven't even finished yet...I'm awesome like that... Which reminds me, I have another phrase I say a lot and it's grammatically incorrect 😂 'Ek is goed soos dit' which translates to 'I'm good like that') and the MC and her brother are both going to have words they repeat (the guy is going to use my brother's weird slang) and the dad is going to mock them and try and get it right...

ANYWAY!!

Basically it annoys me that people find it annoying when characters speak realistically...
