Yesterday, a reader commented that he hadn't seen a CRINGE column lately.He said that he had an addition: "DONE ALREADY" as in the following: "He done already left."
He gave two other examples:
AM-BUH-LUNCE for AMBULANCE
ALBLUM for ALBUM
Gerald said that he was in class last week and that there were two retired teachers sitting close to him and one of them said, "It don't." during a conversation.
I asked, "Didn't the other teacher take him to the woodshed?"
Gerald said he felt like taking a hickory switch to him.

I am in frequent contact with a retired "educator" who says "have went" and I am conflicted if I should tell him. It is surprising the number of times that phrase comes up in conversation
