words and phrases that annoy you

[Grammar Police]

Guttering for something that goes badly and makes you feel gutted - nothing to do with rainwater or the like.

I am guttered for you.

What do you teach again?

IT and Computing, mate. But I have taught English in the past and have worked in international schools where correcting misuse and putting grammatical mistakes right is important. And I write a bit occasionally.

I thought you'd taught English. Harsh master you.

People commenting on rooms on escape to the country type programmes, as a nice space, and light and airy. The next comment is always absolutely.

I guess I am pretty harsh on these things looking back.

Not an annoying phrase - but annoying that people get it wrong.

"Hoi Polloi" - means ""the masses or the people"", and has been used to describe the working class, commoners, the masses or common people.

A lot of people seem to think it means the upper class or posh folk - which is completely the opposite.

I thought that as soon as I read your post. I have never said it, though.

Ever.

fuckers saying “yourself” and “myself” instead of “you“ and “me”.

 

[A Teenstone]

Anyways, it's just anyway you tit.
Us instead of we ,
I agree with most of the posts on this thread.
Probably use some of the words sometimes

Install instead on instill. As in, 'the manager has installed a great work ethic into the team.' No. They're not computers.

Oh and...

'I'm not gonna lie...'

I think I'm getting to a level where I don't have to on here much.
Maybes the lockdown became a bit of a natural selection process.
I still don't ignore anyone as that goes against my principles.
