So, people who think that language evolving is a personal insult to their eardrums and we all should still be talking like Shakespeare or some shit.

Innit. You da man. One love, peace out.

Constantly hearing and reading about shithousery everywhere. Talk about overuse of a term.

Shitty radio adverts that make me never want to buy that product ever again. There’s a lottery scratch card one on over Xmas and it hurts my ears when it comes on and instantly makes me turn over.

People who think it's socially acceptable to play music or other clips on their phones in public places without headphones. The worst of this is when they play TikTok content so it's just a few seconds of loud noise followed by another.
Got exposed to two examples of this yesterday. Once on a tram, and once in a restaurant. Why on earth would someone play music on their phone in a restaurant? Frankly bizarre & completely anti social behaviour.

When I get charged for being 1 kilo overweight on my hand luggage and I'm 74 KG and the person in front of me is about 100KG

Back in the 60's, when some transatlantic flights were made by prop-aircraft, it was a fairly common proceedure to weigh passengers. I once flew from La Guardia back to Manchester on a converted cargo CL-44 plane and all passenger were weighed. One very large lady refused to get on the scakes and a long arguement followed. A compromise was reached when she agreed to be weighed while holding all her baggage.

Sky News reporters delivering their pieces in slovenly English. Namely Beth Rigby with her "thinkin/doin/discussin/waitin" ad infinitum and Shingi Mararike with his "free fousand", etc.

No one is saying she was fat, just that she kick started the jumbo jets for a living. Will that do?

There was also one about his mother in law getting on the talking scales and it said 'one at a time please'

You picked up "from the get go" but not "should of" instead of "should have"!!?

Even Gary ‘Ratboy’ Neville sorted out his utterance and started speaking properly for his television roles, pronouncing his middle ‘t’s and ending words with a ‘g’.

It mainly seems to be ffick as fuck Cocnkeys on tele who can’t speak properly. They sound like infants.

I focused on the get go bit;) However, you are correct and that’s another bug bear. Have you noticed though, how can the fragment by laserblue say ’should of‘ but in my copied bit said ‘should have?’ All I did was reply it? Unless it automatically completed a grammar check?
