Really annoying things people say

[milly143]

I'll do this here instead of on another thread that made me think of it. Does it annoy you when people use words in the wrong way or use the wrong word in a sentence?

For example, my boyfriend frequently says the word "went" instead of "gone". Like, "We could have went there". It reeealllly grates on me.

Can't stand people who cannot differentiate bewteen me and I when talking about two people, such as He gave the tickets to John and I. Simple solution, what would it be if the tickets were given to you only, would it be "tickets to I" or "tickets to me".

"Can I get" instead of can I have.

One half as in one and one half how many chuffung halves can have then

Saw this in a menu last year; Pan fried fillet steak with an accompaniment of french fries, served with a chaperon of mixed salad....I nearly tore the menu up!

Excape instead of escape.

I hate being called "Chap" as in: "you OK Chap!" Really grinds on me Grrrrr

I once remember an argument with my 15 year old Step Daughter, discussing a local breakwater, she said she had been on "Pow Wall", I had no idea what she was talking about. I eventually sussed that she had been on Pout Wall, she insisted I was wrong and it was in fact called "Pow Wall" even going to the point of saying that the name has probably changed over the years!

"myself" and "yourself" when really they mean me or you

Brought instead of bought, and "almost unique".

"i aint got none", really annoys me, if you aint got none you must have some!!!!

People (especially BBC reporters) who pronounce the word 'garage' as 'garige'.

Can I lend your pencil instead of borrow your pencil.

What's wrong with garidge? Should it be gar-arrge? I know someone who pronuonces turmeric as tumrick; she is so conviinced to the point where I once asked "Has it got turmeric in?" and she didn't know what I was referring to.

[milly143]

hhmmm thought of a couple more since I've seen some of your suggestions.

People who pronounce tooth as tuth.

People who pronounce baby as bab-y. I don't know if it's a regional thing but I know some of my brothers-in-law family in Staffordshire use it as though they think it's the way it should be said and I can't stand it.

We have a girls at work that says Samnich instead of sandwich, that can grind a little :-)

[ChuckFickens]

Sure these have been said.... but

Can I lend your xxxxx (instead of borrow), and Will you learn me that (instead of will you teach me that)

[fliptheswitch]

I pronounce Rennie Indigestion Tablets "Ren-nay" and that seems to annoy folks. Im sure Im right and they are wrong.

[milly143]

aahhh, this is begining to remind me of one of my favourite family guy eposides.

I'm sure anyone who watches it will understand if I simply say "cool whip".

[fliptheswitch]

A friend of mine always says that he has been "tret" badly by his boss. He's from Newcastle and I know another Geordie that says it.

[China Doll]

I generally just find people saying things in my general direction annoying ;0)

[milly143]

Ooopps, I meant episode of course.
