    That anecdote sounded like the start of a reader's letter in 'Razzle' or 'Fiesta' One that ended with something like...  

They were on the PA running a spin class. Apparently they lost 10 stone cycling. They used to be 18 stone! I suspect math might not be their forte either.

It's not a grammar error, but on the BBC News website a headline about a nonce-bashing case says:

 

'Inmate jailed over attack'

 

He 'appeared' in court via video link an' all, before anyone gets literal/pedantic.

One that pisses me off more and more as the years go by is the extra or displaced 'i' some folk add into mischievous and mischievously.

It is utterly ridiculous, i hvae a broad accent but that isnt even because of an accent it is an entirely different word. - Mongaloids

Good Lord

I remember the first time JD heard one of my phone conversations with Quinny.

 

She couldn't understand a word of it and had to actually ask what it was we said.

 

Lots of neeahh, ahhs, and other such one syllable words/grunts.

I think a lot of people do say it for effect.

I think there's a glottle stop in there. as in Dur' - ty where you don't quite pronounce the first t.

 

Without going through the entire thread and its 9 pages, one that really gets my goat is advertisement
