Dblock Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Daily mail was the source. Teachers hate the word jamp but it's a perfectly good verb. Quote

Ekona Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Teachers hate the word jamp but it's a perfectly good verb. It really isn't. It's just more slang, as according to a very quick Google (as I had no idea what it meant) it's not in any of the proper dictionaries. And I'm not including the Urban one. About time a school did something formal like this, although it should be noted that it's an academy. Jo does this with her kids all the time, and refuses to answer their questions unless they formulate their words properly. They are from 'Arlow though, so that can be a bit of a struggle We were banned from using the word "bodge" when I was at school. To be fair to the teacher though, we did use it incessantly and it must've driven her up the wall 1 Quote
chubbster Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Can somebody ban David coulthard from saying "unquestionably" at the start of every sentence. Haha - hadn't noticed this, but I'll never miss it from now on. So, what's starting to bug me more & more is the way everyone seems to start the first sentence of whatever they're saying with the word, "So...". It seems to have crept in, under the radar, recently - and it's just an affectation which has come over from America. "So" is a conjunction & should be used to join two phrases, not start a speech or sentence. End of rant. Quote
HaydnH Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 "Haitch" (incorrect pronunciation of letter "h") Haytch is apparently accepted by British English dictionaries, and is a standard pronunciation in Irish English... still seems wrong though, I use aytch. Quote

Sounds common as muck to me This is excellent: Quote
