Stupid little things that bug you

Being of the older generation, it irritates me to hear people pronouncing "Twenty" as "Twenny", even my own kids keep saying it, however, I accept that it's now prevalent within the younger generations. I do get particularly annoyed though with TV and radio presenters who are supposed to uphold "The King's English" but have slipped into this mode of speaking. Just listen to the BBC presenters doing the Olympics.
Horror of horrors, Sophie Raworth used the "T" word on News at 10. All hope has now gone!
Michael Atherton regularly slips in the "twenny" on Sky Cricket. I'm sure he didn't leave MGS or Cambridge University speaking like that.
