I realise that this may not endear me to all, but I feel the need to vent some of my pet pedantic annoyancesâ¦â¦â¦â¦ I hate when people from Belgium are called Belgiums, rather than Belgians. When toilet cisterns are called âsystemsâ. Ball âbariansâ. I have many more, but what are yours?
Well I'm going to stay out of this one. Being I'm dyslexic I have to admit my spelling is not the bestest on here. I would like to publicly apologize for any bad grammar or mistakes in my posts as I have to rely heavily on spell checker and often let a few words slip through! I will try harder.

Morons who replace the g with a k to the words anything (anythink),something (somethink), nothing (is this one nuffink?) The cretins who use use the word Pacific but mean specific.

When an 's' is put on the end of "you" to plural the word. When people call the small Ford cars "Kay Ay" I live in Essex which explains the 2 above, however, my biggest gripe is when people refer to Chelsea fans as Chelski or Scum rather than just ****s.
