Words I hate

Probably extremely pedantic but there you go;

Tidbit: What the chuff is wriong with titbit? We even had a magazine called titbits, now the sanitised version is taking over. Do we have to change every word that contains the three consecutive letters T-I-T?

Newbie: Absolutely bloody ridiculous word. I've not been here before, I am a newcomer, hello I'm new , newbie?

There's another that I'll remember tommorrow after a sleep.

Anyone else this sad?

The only shiver i get is cos i dont remember. Then I nearly have a coronary when i actually do remember what i did last night.

aye, the follow up is never along the lines of 'you saved a life and everyone thought you were a hero'

if its 'you told everyone to fuck off, took your clothes off then threw up in your underpants......'

phew, it could have been worse.

coz it has been

night.

The only ones I hate are when people change the pronounciation so that they seem more sophisticated, i.e.

thee aiter (instead of theater)

"q" pon (instead of coupon.....THERE IS NO Q PEOPLE!!!)

A word used improperly. For example, a few summers ago, my mother kept using the word "angst," except she'd say thing like "I'm angsting" or "I'm angsted about this." Drove me nuts. The word now just bothers me.

Also, a double negative, like when someone says, "He didn't do nothing," when someone really means, "He didn't do anything." I hear it all the damn time in Philly, even from "educated" people.

if we are talking 'word' then there is only one.

Liverpool

I had this problem with my slavic students... The rule is to use double negative...

People who use the word realise (in French) like it has the same meaning than in English. Réaliser means : do something from A to Z and not "se rendre compte" (which can be translated by "come to my mind") Ala which correct spelling is : à la

Anywho (even though I'm often guilty of using it myself)

Like (the stereotypical teen slang word to fill gaps between other words, there's one guy in one of my classes who like sounds like he like uses it like every other like word and like I like want like to like leap like across like the room like and shove like his Abercrombie - like - Fitch like hat down his like throat)

Bonkers (who uses that anymore? Hobos and Thirties con-men?)

And you can add in any and all words, no matter how lovely, once they are co-opted to be spoken in management speak. That is to say, that given current prevailing market paradigms and considering the customer-centric.........

Words i LOVE:

Sky Sports News- "The loss to Bolton makes this one of Liverpool`s worst starts to a season since the Premiership began"

While I was walking through the kitchen half-asleep this morning, my grandma had the TV on QVC and some lady who really sounded older than dirt asked if she could give a "shout-out" to one of her equally ancient pals.

Now I have to add that to my list...

Yes, Chef! (shouted).

I am neither deaf, nor Gordon Ramsay.

Thyme when used as part of a Martha Steward-type ecoTrendy rendy delicatessen or something of the sort. Second hand shoppes (with the extra-pe) also. Second Thyme around. Yuppie marketing.

I too hated this for such a long time until recently I started learning Italian and in Italian you really do say excatly that! You would use a double negative, like you would say non andiamo (none of us) mai a ballare (never go dancing). So now I am more forgiving, I realise that it makes perfect sense to some people to construct their sentences like that.

I also like wrong tense (He come over last night and drunk all me beer) but mostly I just like being a word snob. I enjoy correcting spelling and grammar so much I spent five years of my life doing it as my job.
