They seem to have started saying 'He just about kept that in' or 'That was just about onside' ... ... it's definitive, either one thing or another.
Going to Dixon's for a saveloy dip and the conversation goes... "Everything on?" "Yes" "And mustard?" I said f*cking everything. That suggests some people actually ask for the full works then complain there is something in it they didn't want.
What sort of human counts other people's dots Communication should be about clarity, not always arcane protocols.
I laid off mentioning this topic as I would never shut up about it but… Of instead of have. There instead of their. Definately instead of definitely. On a different note, when someone says “can I get…” when ordering food. I could go on but I’m sure you get the point.
I have to say it's a bit weird how people, from a region with so much slang and parochial phraseology, find the way people from other regions speak as 'incorrect'. I don't like all UK accents but it's part of the rich tapestry of these islands in my opinion ... ... we shout 'Ha'way' every week but most probably can't agree on the origins or what it actually means
or lane discipline - they want us to treat them as small vehicles, then they weave in and out at traffic jams
People that speak over the top of people when they're in the middle of saying something. People that take food from the fork with their teeth. People that replace the litter T in words with D, because they're cool,man. Gobshites that in an argument rant their points only to not allow others to say what they want because the gobshite is "Done, don't want to hear it". None electric cars parked in charge spaces in supermarkets. People that make car phonecalls via Bluetooth with the windows shut, loud enough for everyone to hear. Workshy lazy pissheads that sit out all night in the warm weather, drinking and shouting until the small hours because they don't have work in the morning. Football pundits acting like someone's died when a team like Crystal Palace beats a team like Manchester City. Just eat bicycle riders going through red lights at junctions on the road. There's a few.
Your brain is clearly correcting it for people. Far too many people say pacifically for my liking and I can't believe you've never heard it!
One of the things that really annoys the **** out of me these days that is not grammar but mobile phone relayed, in fact I'll give two as I've just though of another! People who work around holding their mobile in front of their gob with the phone on loudspeaker talking to people. The loudspeaker is there as a hands free option of you need to look for an email or something on your phone while talking to customer services for example not so everyone can hear your conversation and see you loom a twat! I'm convinced some people don't now that you can put your phone to your ear! The other that I thought of because of the above. People in brand new cars usually a Mercedes or an Audi or summit talking on their phone when their phone 100% has the capability of connecting the phone and talking that way! ****ers!
Mrs K and I were watching the game on Sunday evening and she commented on the term “withdrawn” which the commentators were using. She was asking if it had replaced the words “going off” or “substitute”. I said that I didn’t know. So there’s the question. Is the term withdrawn the correct word now to describe a player being substituted or is it just another word used by the commentators to show how clever they are?
