So it really bugs me when people say "Assam alaikum" instead of "Assalam o alaikum" when they greet because the wrong pronunciation can totally change the meaning. Assam a alaikum means death on you in Arabic, which is the complete opposite of Assalam o alaikum . So next time you greet someone, make sure you're pronouncing it correctly.
