Let off some steam with your 'favourite' words that people get wrong.....

[Soton Seagull]

I'm sure we've had somthing like this before; but I'm using this as a stress relief to help me avoid a Michael Douglas 'falling down' moment toward the knuckle draggers in my office.

Sadly I work in Croydon (for the past 2 1/2 years), but today they are really getting to me. So far today, including from management, I've heard the followng several times over:

Somefink
Anyfink
Nuffink
Summink
Sarnk (also meaning 'something')
We woz
Shup (I believe this is an abbreviation of please be quiet!)
Innit (comes as standard around here)

Also a bundle of double negatives; whilst all calling each other bruv & blood (these are predominatly women).

Feel free to add your own; and thanks for indulging my frustration.

Wait for it.......... "Can I get a coffee"

Brought when they mean bought is by far the one that sends me off the scale.

Luckily, I don't hear it much, but I see it written all the time!

 

[tottenhamseagull]

specifically pronounced pacifically

 

[hans kraay fan club]

There's no one pacific word that really annoys me.

could/would/should of
Sandanza

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Very much so.

Very much NO!

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Having someone ask you to confirm your name over the telephone , without them even telling you what it is in the first place

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

"Ih" instead of it.

"Don't just book ih, Thomas Cook ih". Drives me MAD.

Anyone saying 'we was' should be taken aside and neutered.

 

[Soton Seagull]

I woz like

 

[Hotchilidog]

Has to be Jamie Redknapp's use of the word literally

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I nominate David 'Pleaty' Pleat. There's usually at least 1 word that he gets hopelessly wrong in every sentence he utters.

Wait for it.......... "Can I get a coffee"

no, you f***ing can't,

your going to get are blood pressure up with lines like that, their is no need to use those Americanisms here, there too f***ing illiterate too be aloud to call they're language English.

Oh, and I hate the terms

American English

and

English (UK)

or

English (American)

It should be either English, or, American, or, if they really must, American English

 

[whitelion]

Skelington...........

 

[Badger]

Skedule - we're not in America so pronounce it in English

 

[strings]

Your, you're, there, there, they're.

Superphil seems to agree in post #14

 

[pasty]

Poeple that get borrow and lend the wrong way round

Eg: Can you borrow me a fiver / Could I lend a fiver off you

brought instead of bought when buying something.

always tempted to say "Where did you bring it from?"
