Unfortunately for many people, their failure to learn the language (and mathematics) will often result in lower-paying jobs and a bleak future. This is not a snobbish attitude; it is fact.

The word “Conversate� annoys me. I hear more and more people using this word, which does not exist in the English language
Main Entry: conversate
Part of Speech: v
Definition: to socialize and chat; to converse with another
Etymology: back-formation from conversation
Usage: slang

So, technically, it IS a word.
However, I too find it annoying. Just as i find the phrases “who this is” (as in “what do you mean, who this is”), and “aks” instead of “ask,” and “You is” instead of “You are” annoying!
don’t use it in a formal writing but its fine to use in every day conversation. v
