Which auxiliary verb you use depends on what the other verb is. I think the format part comes from getting the wrong auxiliary verb, or not including it entirely.

Of course we'd figure out that "retry" means "start again" but clueless kids that we were, we, too, would say "reh-tree".

      For those who are confused it's also used for... 3r3ctile dysfunction (not sure what UA-cam censors these days.) Google that in incognito if you don't know what it is.

    When I was a kid, my mom had a female friend named Chris. When I was in first grade, a boy in my class was named Christopher and everybody called him Chris. So I went up to my mom's friend one day and proudly told her "I know what your name is short for. It's short for Christopher!"
    I never did find out how my mom explained that to her.

    I texted my mom “mhm” meant as just a noise of affirmation. She and my grandma spent a solid 10 minutes trying to figure out what I meant.

    Not so much an abbreviation fail, but more of a grammar fail.
    When I was a youngster, I forgot my to two and too knowledge. For a month. I was 14 in third year of secondary school! *DURING THE TIME OF EXAMS.* 💀
