It's would/should HAVE not OF... Yes I'm looking at YOU!!



Churchill, remembering that he had been told at school never to end a sentence with a preposition, said "This is an outrage, up with which I shall not put!"

And something I remember from school, make sense of the following by adding punctuation:-

John while Jim had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

I'm with the OP, the 'should ofs' and 'would ofs' of this world are thick, it's really that simple. They should be rounded up and burned at the steak. ???

What dullard says 'pacific' instead of 'specific' ffs.?

mute instead of moot always gets me.

I find, although not incorrect words, I'm starting to get annoyed with phrases such as "wind your neck in" and "box to box midfielder"

It's that time again ladies and gents, the bi-annual (or monthly) thread where someone can't take the crimes against the language any more and flips their shit about it like a big sad-act or girl.

I know... I know... Live and let live, what harm does it do? OK NONE. Except makes me freak out when I see it too much. Makes the poster seem ignorant and demeans his opinions (in the minds of everyone who understands the mistake... face it, it's true)

AAARRGGGHHHHHHHH

With apologies to the tweeting Will Hoskins - another culprit.


Brought to you from the people who brought you

'their going out tonight and taking they're tools and all bruv' or some other illiterate titwank

Whilst you're at it, people who use capital letters at inappropriate times, as demonstrated above.

Good call, something is either happening or not it doesn't literally happen! That makes no sense whatsoever. Also when someone says 'basically' and goes on to bore you to death, literally I might add, with a far from basic explanation! I'm like incensed or like annoyed. No I'm fookin not I AM incensed and AM annoyed, fuckwits.

In my opinion
Of course its your opinion, you're speaking! You only have to specify if it's someone else's. Of course you're probably a fuckwit spouting some shite you overheard or read in The Daily Mail but still...

Lets agree to disagree

This means we had a disagreement, which by its very nature we do not need to agree to have. If you are conceding the point (which most people on using this expression should be but seldom are) or wish to change topic or have something else to attend to try expressing that thought instead.
