Speaking of radio or television commercial word manipulations (as touched upon in my previous blog posting below), how many script/copy writers -- or whatever the hell they call themselves -- and voice-over artists say "wanna"? As in: I wanna cookie! "Ma, ma! I wanna cookie, ma!"
"Do you wanna save money on your car insurance?" Sure I do, buddy. As soon as you speak proper English, I might consider calling your company.
What's the real word again? Oh... "want to". Hey, that's two words. "Wanna" is what Archie Bunker might have called a "constraction".
