Vulgarisms

• Examples of vulgarisms

The vulgarisms they are words or phrases that are used incorrectly in a certain language. For example: I grabbed and told him / like you / you said.

Although they are more frequent in colloquial language and orally, vulgarisms tend to denote the lack of education of those who use them. This is much more noticeable when the phrase or sentence is stated in written form.

A word can easily be turned into vulgarism by the phonetics of its very letters. For example: the word there can be transformed into vulgarism when written as ai.
