I used to be a bit of an uptight fool about the use (and misuse)of our language.
But I realised I was a constant hypocrite - using any new cool slang I happened to like the sound of.
I LOVE the various trends of our language.
Even business speak stuff is just an extension of the playground slang we all used to love.
Enjoy your language it is a beautiful evolving thang.
If you enjoy belittling people for using it "incorrectly", ask yourself why that is.

That's you summed up.
timdrayton - why would you be using the word 'asked' there anyway? The phrase is 'can't be arsed'.
can't be arsed trawling 7 pages, but for me the number one hated word from me has to be

"Engerland! Engerland!Engerland!Engerland!Engerland!Engerland! Enger - - - - land!!!!!!"
Er, Ingerlund surely?
yeah I'll take a hit for that... it should have been Ingerland or moreso ingerlund.
Can't be arsed is a great phrase though and one I've used many times in relation to getting a job 😉
