Another thing that annoys me is when people use 'purpose' instead of 'propose'.
How what could be interchangeable? Her family? Perhaps if your girlfirend has a twin sister, she could be interchangeable, but I doubt that you'd please her father by treating him the same way as you treat your girlfriend.

Or do you mean that you do not see how 'ignorant' and 'rude' could be considered interchangeable?
