DazBob Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) 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'?

Does my nut in. aye, that as well "so, I was literally walking down the street when I saw John" fuck off oh and another one mostly seen in football interviews, the increasing use of people asking rhetorical questions, then answering them themselves "blah blah do I think it was a penalty? yes, would i have given it? yes, but the referee thought otherwise blah blah etc" does this literally piss me off? yes it does.

e2e4 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Also, why can't many black people pronounce 'ask'? Aks seems to be the norm these days i know this one.. the 'ask' thing is because northerners (i.e., us) couldnt pronounce the correct "aks" and the mistake became the norm. the word 'third' and 'horse' and 'bird' also are this way because of it.. theres loads.. i'm gonna have to google (erm, search on the internet) what its called.. metathesis ... now i've remembered more... bass fishing (barse) , maybe for not the same reason.. rooster , rabbit being alternatives once 'cock' , 'coney' became vulgar ... the Susie Dent brid on Countdown does rundowns on things like this in the programme.

e2e4 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This entire post has me confused OK. heres more, by someone who's not arsing about quick on a phone... but it , too, is kind of a list .. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/the-top-ten-transpositions-of-sounds-in-words-9388466.html theres good stuff all over on why words are the way they are.. some guy in canada wrote this book-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grammar_of_the_Dialect_of_the_Bolton_Area .. which might be good , but its probably not about letter switching and 'eggcorns' or 'mondegreens' , or whatever ...
