Every fucker seems to be doing it. Does my head in and seems to be getting accepted as a replacement. Probably should not of posted this, for example.

Me too. Plus fink, fought, firty, free etc.

 

Was instead of were and is instead of are also get my goat.

 

Grammar Schools. Protectors of the English language.

Football punters saying Birminum and fucking Nottinum what ?

‘Why’ instead of ‘while’

 

‘Sat having a coffee why the kids play’

Quite instead of quiet. Instant idiot alert!

I get enquires regarding Chester Drawers all the fucking time.  How can folk be so numb?

The word 'have' will of disappeared from the English language in ten years.

 

Also, why can't many black people pronounce 'ask'? Aks seems to be the norm these days

So.

I'm sick of hearing people start sentences with SO.

Can I get a bacon barm?

 

No you can’t. This is a cafe, you dick - sit there and I’ll get it for you.

i have that all the time working behind a bar, "can I get a pint of....... and can I get another pint of........." no you can't get anything I'll get it for you and you can have a pint

the English language is fooked

The title of this thread always annoys me: http://www.wanderersways.com/forum/topic/85859-donald-dead-cat-on-is-head-trump/

people saying pacifically instead of specifically 

Brain deads who put a “W” where it’s not needed - do wer (door) fo wer (four) skoo wul (school)

Brain deads who put a “W” where it’s not needed - do wer (door) fo wer (four) skoo wul (school)

 

Gonzo says "Fower" instead of Four

The use of "actively" to describe almost every activity.

Ken was actively looking for a buyer. What as opposed to sat on his arse in a chair looking through a telephone directory.

Whilst people saying "of" instead of "have" singles them out as having a lower IQ than pair of shoes, the English language is constantly evolving and that's what makes it beautiful.

 

If we still spoke like people did 500 years ago it would be weird.

 

Don't get me wrong, these people aren't Shakespeare, but it's the nature of language innit?

 

French was our primary language up until the 1300's, so don't complain.

French is bizz.

the English language is fooked

Quality perhaps, but not quantity.

The preposition “to” is disappearing, “I am going town” etc.

 

And the site’s drunk use of ‘n’ all instead of and all, if nothing else it is more fiddly to type on a mobile.

Why do loads of people insist on turning general statements of opinion into questions by using the word "right"?

 

It's warm today, right?

Traffic was busy today, right?

 

It's like the upward inflexion at the end of sentences that was common during the 2000s. But more irritating, right?

cool hwip

it's been around a while but I still can't stand how the (mis)use of the word "literally" has become mainstream, and now more often than not it's used figuratively

Besides starting sentences with 'so', many down here have taken to answering questions by starting with "Yes, no.....". 

 

Well which is it then you irritating fucker? Yes or no? 

Lad I sit next to at work says literally all the time. He doesn't actually use it incorrectly, but there's no need for its use 99% of the time. Does my nut in.

 

Anyway, why the fuck do so many people not know how or when to use 'to' and 'too'?
