I hate it when someone says

[chycarne]

i have dyslexia of spelling and maths, but i hold down a full time job andwork hard at it too. i just have to concentrate a lot!! by the evening i am running out of patience so the level of accuracy slips... ah well!!
what annoys me?
"thats a stupid question" if it was i would have got someone else to ask it... smack!!!
why do you want me to do that? well because i have asked .. if i said duck would you ask or would you duck... smack
apart from that life is easy errrr not!! i find more and more i am failing to understand society... and some people and the way of life ... oh well ...

The "shook swarm" and "do a shook swarm" are mildly irritating because surely they should be a "shaken swarm" and "shake a swarm"

By the way using an aitch at the beginning of aitch when spelling something out loud is not just irritating, it's infuriating! It is especially so in the North West where I live because you should be dropping the real ones, never mind adding spurious ones that aren't there!

Honestly ??

Sorry for the internet link, but the true value of Welsh signs is exhibited clearly here:

Scared or scarred?

Frightened surely? One scares a crow and the crow is frightened!

The difference between a queenright and a queenless colony is so significant that it should not be left to one of two symbols on adjacent keys on the keyboard

Not a hate, just a giggle

I work with lots of American people and lots of Indian people. When the American people would like to remove something from a document, they suggest we "strike" the non-required section. This took me a while to get used to. Even more disconcerting is when the Indian people remove the offending text and report that they have "stroked" it.

I like it so much, I have never corrected them

People who write :
"to" when they mean "too"
" there" when they mean "their"
"off" when they mean "of" ( including both words together " off of" )
" I was going" or "I went" when they mean " I was saying" or "I said"

Yeah! Like I agree right. Innit?

Language changes from generation to generation and often sooner !
If I lapse into dialect my grand children look incredulous and ask me to repeat it in English please!
I have the advantage of understanding their machinations of standard English whilst they are in the dark regards mine
