[bomber130]

It annoys me when people say that two things are similar by saying "it's the same difference", when it is quite obvious that what they are comparing are totally different

Pressurised environment - you work in a diving bell?

Each and every - usually spoken deliberately quite slowly to emphasise a not very interesting point.

Misuse of the words action and remit.

 

[blue'n'white]

'Of' instead of 'have'....i.e "I should of said". People typing 'off' when they mean 'of' is annoying too.

I think this is my top pet hate too

 

[GT49er]

'Of' instead of 'have'....i.e "I should of said".

I would of joined in this thread saying much the same, but you beat me to it!

 

[geodavies]

People that do that should be shot, also people that say can i get instead of can i have

 

[Southstandfaithful]

People that say supposably instead if supposedly.

 

[tubaman]

Whoops, my baaaad!

People who actually say 'my bad'

 

[Lord Bracknell]

and etc. et cetera already means "and other things" so there is no need to put an 'and' before it.

I had a Latin teacher (who taught us Latin with a Wigan accent) who used to emphasise this particular point by using the phrase "AND CETERA".

A little kid from Ireland moved to Manchester. At school one day, he was asked by his teacher who won the Battle of the Boyne. He replied, "Billy the Shit." The teacher got very angry and ordered him to the headteacher's office for his use of profanity. Another child came to his defence, saying, "Sorry, miss. He meant to say 'William the Turd'."

Americanised dates (normally heard in adverts) when they say something like 'opening june 11' instead of saying ' opening on June the 11th.'

 

[pipkin112]

[Lord Bracknell]

Presently. It means "soon", not "at the present time".

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Pacifically for specifically
Would of instead of would have
Haitch instead of aitch
That bloke on MOTD2 who says Woollevs instead of Wolves!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Americanised dates (normally heard in adverts) when they say something like 'opening june 11' instead of saying ' opening on June the 11th.'

And that is 11/6, not 6/11.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Oh and people who say myself all the time instead of me because they think a longer word makes them sound more articulate.

 

[Seagull on the wing]
