ioneabee Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I hate ................. "I'm gutted" or even "I'll give it 110%" - I mean how can you give something more than it is Quote

When the swimmer Ian Thorpe commentated on The Olympics in London he began every sentence with "Look", maybe its an Aussie thing. Pete Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Another one that irritates, and I see often on forums, is when somebody makes a play on words and has to add "see what I did there" when its plainly obvious . 1 Quote

Jetpilot Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) he began every sentence with "Look", maybe its an Aussie thing. Very much an Aussie thing, i like cricket and whenever England play Australia and any Ozzie player is interviewed, they nearly always start their reply with "Look" I find it quite condescending.

wmr1980 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Bought and brought. Should of instead of should have. Pacific instead of specific. At the end of the day... Slang speak in general I find pretty loathsome. People say that it doesn't matter if they use the wrong word or grammar as long as they are understood. I'm afraid I couldn't disagree more. I think it is mainly owing to people reading less and not taking care to understand grammar. I think learning Latin and/or a foreign language helps you grasp the basic premise of grammar, syntax and constructing sentences correctly. Perhaps I'm just a snob. I am a johnny foreigner though so it probably doesn't count. Quote

Stutopia Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 All this moaning about evolution of language, but at the end of the day... ...it gets dark. Quote
SteveV Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Don't get me started! "Think' Instead of Thing. Can I 'get' a pint of bitter instead of have. 'Haitch' instead of Aitch when pronouncing the letter H. Quote

Wendy Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Anythink, Nothink, everythink - drives me mad. When did the G get replaced for a K ? So, I believe generally replaced Anyway - mainly used in not knowing how to start the next topic of converstion piece - I reckon ? ! I have quite a few friends from the North - it's quite amusing the differing ways in which we speak and words we use. The banter between us can certainly become quite heated and very amusing at times !! There are also the times, when I have no idea what they are trying to say, using words just made up so Southerners do not have a clue what is going on !!!! Quote

sipar69 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 "He turned round to me and said....." (As though people are always facing the other way to begin with.) Quote
Will370z Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 It is like people starting sentences with "basically, or "in all honesty", it's crazy, either they are implying I'm stupid and must be treated like a child or that they normally lie to me 2 Quote
