Speak properly!

I frequently say please glen instead of stop.

I do ?

That rohypnol must be good

The thing that's been creeping in without people noticing and is slowly but surely taking over the English speaking world is the tendency to start every sentence with "So...".

I've fucking noticed and I've started threads on here before.

Drives me absolutely crackers that one, and it's creeping in everywhere.

It's yet another Americanism. I keep hearing English people using "Period" and "Pissed" incorrectly too. And pompous clowns saying "Can I get a coffee".

But starting sentences with "So" is the single most annoying verbal tic in the world.

So what?

As mentioned earlier re "So":

Well OP, realy has TWO Ls ^


if you're going to rag on people for certain errors in speech. I do it all the time, I talk badly and make spelling errors all the time. It doesn't make anyone a bad person

please forgive me Bob, it was a typo, i honestly can spell honest, i'll ammend said problem immediately.

Too late ;)

So I see.

So should people not do that?

I'm not being funny but........................

I'm not being funny but........................

I used to work with a girl who said that all the time. Looking back is infuriating, she would start a large diatribe against the manager on a daily basis in our meeting, moaning about how she wasn't able to hit her daily targets as the morning meeting would always run over time. What she didnt seem to realise is that it was her little 'I'm not being funny but' rant that was the longest part of the meeting.

Hopefully it's been mentioned, but 'would of' and 'could of'.

Arggh! You thick twat!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I'm not being funny but........................

That one makes me want to bite down hard on the back of a chair.

Always women, and always said before saying something argumentative. And never, ever funny.

If you say 'offensif' instead 'offensive' then you're an idiot.

My ex use to always say 'me dad', 'starting me work' 'i've got me ticket' - pissed me right off.

'Can you borrow me...' is also the signs of an uneducated twat.
