You have to disagree with me in what way? You disagree that it annoys me? I assure you it does. You think that walla is a re-spelling, not a misspelling? But I gave you a link showing that it already has a meaning in English. Anyway, if you were going to claim it is a borrowed word, then it is borrowed from Hindi - e.g. chai walla - the guy in charge of the tea.

Let me give you an analogy. If you were to drink water through your nose in my presence, and claim it was valid and fun and you know how to drink water properly but choose not to, I'd still get up from the table.

Also, there are many people who, upon seeing this "re-spelling", believe it is the correct spelling and they repeat it themselves, to their own embarrassment.
