There is no T involved here, how can ANYONE EVER get this wrong? "Acrosst", or "Acrossed" Really? REALLY. You can't fucking give that word a past tense. I what world does the past tense of Across make sense? Seriously I never knew this mispronunciation existed until MLG Aspen where Sadokist said it. Now I just heard it again from this video. So I googled it, and apparently it is not super rare. Why! Why? The people who fuck this up don't spell it incorrectly, and it's not like the "ss" has some hidden sounds only found in ancient words. There is absolutely no reason somebody who can read and comprehend English can mess this one up. Was Jesus nailed to the crosst? At work, do you hate your bosst?

This is the most legitimate thing I could find http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/acrost

This says it is Eye-Dialogue, which means: written dialogue that uses nonstandard spelling but doesn't indicate an unusual pronunciation.

I can't fucking stand when people do this. Also, when someone says that's a great ideal, instead of idea.

I acrossed another article about this once. But other than that I've never heard anyone say this

Acrost is actually a recognized dialectical variant of across. Getting mad at people who say "acrost" is as bad as getting mad at Travis for saying "baaaaguhl". Which I still get mad at him for, but I'm not going to tell him he's wrong.

Here's a source outside of wiktionary.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acrost

It's also listed in the Oxford dictionary as a simple dialectical variation in pronunciation. A linguistics professor at Franklin College had this to say.

With all that said, it makes me gag when I hear people say "acrost". It sounds so disgusting.

Yes it is. Normal people will say "I came across an article". Redman is saying "I came acrost an article".

Took me two years of yelling at my little sister for me to break her of that habit. "I have an ideal! Let's not use ideal improperly!"

I think she thought "ideal" was the fancy way of saying "idea".

Come on, he only missed one word.

"I came acrossed another article..." was perfectly acceptable trolling.

I thought acrossed replaced crossed instead of acrossed
