Why do they say the date like that?

March twenty one

Are they deliberately trying to annoy me?

Don't they know I've already got enough to be grumpy about?

The arse trumpets

its because its an ad and you've a lot of information to convey in a few seconds, and because its a film being advertised you don't want to talk all over the film's soundtrack so theres less time still. 'March twenty one' takes much less time to say than 'The Twenty First of March'

Worse still, the voice doing the voice over was a British one

Standards and all that, what what

You can probably steal it off the internet in HD, March Twenty Five.

Almost as bad as "in store" but nowhere as bad as "hardworking families".

I like "arse trumpet". Its a phrase that is new to me. I shall try and work it into everyday conversation.

In cinemas Wednesday

No, you moronic asshats, that should be "In cinemas on Wednesday", or "from Wednesday".

Fetch my guns...
