Funny, I can imagine only you doing this.
I didn't write to them for a statement, someone else presumably did years ago - it's all online, and it's a very common [s]debate[/s] area of wrongness.
I find myself saying "if you see what I mean" a lot, and it really annoys me - generally the person who I am speaking to sees perfectly well what I mean because they are not a retard (with the exception of some people at work...).
I'm sure that it must annoy the person that I'm speaking to even more.
absolutely! aaaaghh -

If a business can grow, why can't the future tense of the verb "grow" be used to describe it ?
Genuine question.
If I can say "I am going to grow vegetables in the garden"
Why can't I say "I am going to grow the business next year"
this thread is gr8!
"Chav" - it IS used to mean poor 99% of the time and is always sneering and divisive.
Also, "Boils my piss" and "twunt" and any other twee swearing.

'I could care less' always makes my blood boil.
For my job I deal with a lot of Americans, I want to punch them in the face when they say 'Legos'.

If that happens regularly enough to bring on violence, it sounds like you lot need to put away the toys and get some work done 🙂
