Cos it's more better to say it like that.
It weren't like that in my day mate

You'd think they'd get the URL right on the front of a magazine for pedants, for goodness sake. 🙁
"for goodness' sake"
Some sake, earlier;

To be fair I believe that the Shcool sign is in the Netherlands and is of course correct as a result.
So it's not painted on the wrong side of the road then? My day is spoilt.
I could care less.
I resemble that remark.
I am really liking this thread!
I am really loving this thread!!
I don't understand why the whole English speaking world has recently decided to try and sound like a McDonalds advert or Jo Whiley.

I resemble that remark.
Which one? Be more pacific!
I would of noticed if my grammar was incorrect
The word 'like' in every sentence -arrrggghh,
Basically - arrrggghh.
Witch one?
The first one, obliviously.
Aks. 😡
One of the engineers here the other day was talking on Communicator about someone being an escape goat.
Grammatical errors literally boil my piss.

That's a legitimate use of the word now. The definition has changed in the Oxford Dictionary!
One of the engineers here the other day was talking on Communicator about someone being an escape goat.
I once had someone tell me a story about how their friend pulled out of a dangerous junction and got hit by an argonaut.
[i]...someone being an escape goat. [/i]
<like>
"Them", instead of "those". As in, "Look at them trees". It's not bloody difficult.
Ah......
So it's all hugs and kisses when a member of singletrack royalty starts a thread about poor use of language, but when anyone else dares to venture an opinion it is 'bullying'.
Nice to know that it's not what you know, but who you know - even on here!
Grate thread, best for a wile.
Can we include gratuitous glottal stops too, literally the worst thing ever.

Well done to him, Cougar. That silent 'e' often catches people out!
The addition of the word 'actually' in sentences. You're just adding an extra word for no reason.
As seen on the Ardrossan to Arran ferry.
Correction by someone on here?

If I "brought" that magazine at a shop would I learn that it is BOUGHT... You BOUGHT that magazine!
Unless you purchased it elsewhere, in which case you brought it to each subsequent shop you visited!
We had someone place a big order of ashfelt for a carpark the other day. He also argues that his company is PRINCESS 2 certified.
I really loose the plot at bad grammar

Is you talking about me?
Advise and definately are doing my head in on here. Defiantly I can tolerate 'cause it amuses me!
Is you talking about me?
Yeah blood, of course I is - innit?
I once had someone tell me a story about how their friend pulled out of a dangerous junction and got hit by an argonaut.
Was Jason driving ?
I've just passed a restaurant that states 'Bookings for Christmas now been taken'
Nice.
from today's fresh goods Friday over that way <---
"Kitted out with a mainly Deore driver train"

Local vernacular in sunny Portsmouth when voicing approval of something: " Oi likes that Oi doose" 🙂
Definitely don't have to literally love them. 🙂
I don't know if it's ok or not but people using then instead of than really gets my goat.
People saying off of! Really annoys me.

People saying off of!
This ^. Boils me pish.
I say "off of" being ironic: 'Gary Barlow? Ah yes, him off of Take That'. Anyone who does it genuinely deserves to be shot. Simple as.
Your all dinosores. Inglish volves dunnit. Its gr8 an moden, I bet your all beardy and have bikes wiv no gears
Blood,ow u no?
Had an Aunt who complained to us about doing random shift patterns at a nursing home,she enjoyed the job but not the "erotic" hours,yeah I tried to keep a straight face too! 😯
People saying off of! Really annoys me.
This^^
And 'Can I [i]get[/i] a coffee?'
My aunt once complained about my use of the word 'volley' with respect to someone kicking a football before it touched the ground 🙁
And 'Can I get a coffee?'
Did you mean "[i]Can[/i] I [i]get[/i] a coffee?"
I can't remember the last time I heard anyone ask "may I have..."
I've been saying 'off of' as long as I can remember, and I'm in me fifties. Wanna argue about it? Eh? Eh?
Simple as.
Could you just pop this blindfold on and stand against that wall over there?
Did you mean "Can I get a coffee?"I can't remember the last time I heard anyone ask "may I have..."
Possibly because, whenever I've been into a coffee shop, or whatever, I'm asked, 'what would you like?', or 'what can I get you?', to which I reply, 'a large mocha, please, with cream'.
Simple, really, can't see what the fuss is all about.
I don't undertand - why is you so upset bout this?
All the above plus 'floor' when they mean 'ground'.
Captain, no time for blindfolds just shoot them like you would rabid dogs !
My favourite is disc "breaks" on ebay or the classifieds.

Roof and ceiling. Same gripe.

When someone writes "shirley" when they mean "surely"
I didn't buy the magazine, my mate borrowed it to me!
when the word "axe" is used instead of "ask"
While we're discussing general affronts to humanity in good company, does [i]anyone[/i] like ITV multi-part dramas?
Now der is like more English as a secund speakage so they wat speak it secund ef****t the language more what than 1st language speakers like ' I am loving it' and 'innit' innit.
'we reached out to'
No you phoned them or sent an email ffs.
Touched base?
Touched cloth more like.
At the end of the day... I'm loving having a listen to some of these.
Nothink and somethink.
Have we had when athletes say "I did good today", rather than "I did well" yet?
Athletes, or commentators at least turning nouns into verbs: "he podiumed/medaled"
Winningest?
Plus what Tenfoot said! Seems like everyone on the telly adds a K to, well, every[i]thing[/i]. Even blimmin' news readers.
When someone writes "shirley" when they mean "surely"
Quite. And don't call me Shirley...
And 'Can I get a coffee?'
When I hear it, I look on in amazement to see if I'm in an American sitcom
"Nucular"... 😡
'Rediculous' seems very common lately.
Homophones really wind me up too- poring/pouring, toe/tow (particularly annoying when talking about toe paths- why the hell would they be called that?), sheer/shear etc.
"I was like that", but pronounced "I was la' at" gets me.
