Absolutely spot on. Completely incorrect English and one that has again, sadly come from over the pond. Due to no decent coffee facilities at work I witness this every morning in pret at monument station. ‘Can I/ may I have’. It’s not difficult you fucking ‘tards"Can I get" is said by (it seems) everybody under the age of 30.
It's "can I have ........, please"
You can't get it. That's the responsibility of the person getting it for you.

"Super" before an adjective - "it's super hot outside" ...NOOO!
"Myself" in sentence where the word should be "me" - "that's with myself at 3pm" ...NO IT ISN'T! "myself and John will do that" ...NO YOU WON'T!
(You're only supposed to use "myself" when you've used "I" at the start of the sentence, as in when you do something on your own - "i will be doing that myself")
", no?" to finish a sentence - "i would have thought it would be like that, no?" ...MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE AT ALL, STOP IT!
The amount of people who use all three of these is astonishing. Everyone is at it!

To be fair that's the standard setting on Tapatalk. Most people forget to turn it off.

On a similar note, I could scream when asked, “Any drinks or snacks for yourself, sir?”, by air cabin crew. Many of them seem to trot out this dodgy usage and perhaps it’s all part of their customer service training. Anyway, it really grates on myself. Aaargh!

Ending everything with gate. Makes some sense to everyone who knows or cares about watergate but now used as lazy journo shorthand speak.

I once got hold of my sisters phone and changed it to, “sent from my iPhone whilst taking a dump”.
Thankfully her boss thought it was funny.
