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.

there was an old woman of 92..

The saying "He has his work cut out for him"

I hate it when people say 'i don't want none of those' instead of ' i don't want any of those'.

I wish I hadn't asked. All these additions are making me twitch with annoyance.

I have a friend who says "I've not got no money" which really grates on me. Two negatives make a plus which means she MUST have some money!

People who say 'aks' instead of 'ask.

People who pronounce 'h' as 'haytch' rather than 'aytch', and who then go on to litter their conversation with them even where they don't exist. For instance, my boss and I have a contact at HQ called Sunil - pronounced as written. The boss (an 'h-ophile') insists on calling him Sun Hill even though she knows it's wrong.

Ha ha Milly - I bet by the end of the night you'll be tearing your hair out with frustration at the silly things people say.
Maybe next time you should "think outside the box" so that we can all "sing from the same hymn sheet" ???? Arrghhh.

Carrust, my Dad would love you for saying those. He used to be a chef and just can't understand they way modern chefs describe things. How else are you going to fry something if not in a pan.

I agree with "Loik aka Like" - but I particularly hate the one word command, "Enjoy" when presented with food.

And I can't stand false folk, glorified pseuds, who try to bamboozle folk with pretentious language such as "Pretentious Cruciverbalist" as used by one ABer last night. Very moronic and reflects the sad person he is.
