Or the group that seems to have an issue with different coloured poppies? *not calling you out on anything, just asking The people that make an issue with not wearing one. I learnt this week there is one for animals (don't know the colour) and the white one is for protesting (against what i don't know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it's an etymological thing, but it just never looks right. My sisters and nieces do it all the time. My mate, who has a degree in Creative Writing, constantly types ‘then’ instead of ‘than’, so he’ll type “I like Coke more then Pepsi”. Drives me up the fucking wall.

Drives me up the fucking wall. Maybe he's listing his favourites? "I like Coke more, then Pepsi" I can't stand it when people pronounce the word specific as Pacific. Fucking hell. My manager does this. What is it, a neurological problem? She also says "uz" instead of "us". God I'm shuddering just at the thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it's an etymological thing, but it just never looks right. My sisters and nieces do it all the time. This is really common in the Jersey accent and while, over the years, I've become accustomed to some of the quirks of the accent, this one will never not grate on me. There's one woman in particular who seemed to do it worse than anyone else, like a really drawn out "heee'z", and I found it so frustrating. Then, to make matters worse, I saw something on her Facebook where she even writes "he's". As if she doesn't even know the word "his" exists.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 5, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Watching a video in a presentation and someone leaves the cursor somewhere where it won't fade away e.g. hovering over the 'pause' button. Totally disproportionate rage. Re: he's v his, time is on their side as historically we developed the word "his" as a corruption of "he's" - ie the thing that belongs to he with a possessive apostrophe.
