There is a history there: some vehicles were open top, and like a van or a bus, so it made sense to say "off" or "on" as opposed to enclosed vehicles, where you got "in" or "out".
Great point!
Does a person "get on" the bus or "in" the bus? Do you "get off" the bus or "out of" the bus?
Some people around here say, he sleep, instead of he's asleep or he's sleeping.
That could be an elision of "he's asleep". Maybe it's lazy but what meaning is lost.
you walk/step onto a bus, you climb into a car or truck or suv
is my initial thought. probably a poor distinction.
"supposably" pisses me off.
also when people say "a couple" but they mean 3+
NO.

I made up my mind that the the aggression to the person being corrected (humiliation, belittlement) is greater than that to the listener (halting, correctness).
If it's not causing confusion or perpetuating bad habits, swallow your pride and be gentle.

if i can understand what they are trying to say i'm not gonna be a dick about it. it does hurt me to hear it though.
the couple thing can cause problems and we really need to come together as a people and nail that one down.

it has to do with how back in the day people used to ride on the roof of the bus and used reins like it was a horse

You dumb hick.
They said that to me at a dinner.
They're saying it's impossible that that many bodies are falling out of coffins every day.
They're saying we must have rigged something.

I think what cinched it was thinking about how people pointing out ax/ask made me feel and I was just like, I'm not going to be that person.
Also, if you want to be super annoying about it, in OE "askan" and "acsan" were basically interchangeable and also derived from a noun "asc" which is not directly where we get the business-speak "ask" from, but it's been seen before.
So really it's just kind of a keep your mouth shut about it.

Okay well great next time I'll leave my Bosworth-Teller on the shelf and you can tell everybody.
I do still have trouble with people using the simple past over the past participle (ate/eaten, saw/seen, went/gone, etc), but I just let myself have my feelings for two seconds and then I pick it back up.
Six months in Mexico, and I'm still convinced everyone has a brother named Hermano.
"Wow it's crazy how everyone has an auntie named Tia."
i used to listen to some podcast where the guy put this weird emphasis on -ing words, almost like it was pronounced -ingk or maybe -inguh
i can’t describe it, but it was annoying

Professor Brian Cox.
the manc accent is strong with this one.
I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but a lot of people do a terminal schwa after an alveolar/palatal/glottal stop, eg annoying,uh, rude,uh, stop,uh, etc.i used to listen to some podcast where the guy put this weird emphasis on -ing words, almost like it was pronounced -ingk or maybe -inguh
It's like a stepchild of upspeak but the really weird thing is that they usually don't know what you're talking about when you point it out because it's an affectation and not an actual linguistic function.

No takey-backies.Hang on.
yeah, i guess then if i had to explain it it would be he had a very distinct and deliberate pronunciation of -ing words using a (very) hard g. not the velar nasal or silent g or whatever most ing words use
i say deliberate because words like singing didn’t come out like singkingk, but sing-ingk
ill have to look him up. i barely remember what the podcast was about because it was so distracting i stopped listening to it after an episode and a half

My wife tells me I pronounce the g in ing, but I don't know about it.
She might be lyinG.

Sports guy I follow puts the emphasis on "wide" in "wide receiver."
Not a big deal, I've just always done the opposite.

u callin me fat, coach?
Is she an "-in'" type?
I do that but only because I trained myself out of a stammer and it helped me get to the end of a sentence, but on the other hand me dad's side is from NW Arkansas and they do love to hang on it a little.
Though if you're putting a half-syllable on it, well, you do you.

a radio guy in these parts really put the emphasis on the TEE part of seventy like he was trying to prove a point. he had to say it several times a day because it was in the station identifier
i wanted to hate it more, but like, fine ur right, whatever

Listen, I don't know what I'm doing. Noises come out of my mouth and I have nothing to do with it.Though if you're putting a half-syllable on it, well, you do you.
I don't think I've come across that but it makes me wonder.
The "-ty" suffix is a cousin of "te" (French), "-tad" (Spanish", "-ta" (Italian), and even "-tat" (German) and they're usually accented, so maybe that's a thing,
But also some people are just weird and annoying.
