Words/phrases that irritate you.

I've seen and heard the above words alot, and they are beginning to bug me a little. How many people actually use the words 'yous' and 'yizz' in every day converstaion and why not just use the word "you"?

So what words/phrases irritate you?

I use "yous" to pluralise... ie., how are yous all doing? "Yizz" is for skangers.

The phrase that really pisses me off & is only used on the net is... FTW.

FTW? FOAD MoFo

When someone says they will "touch base" with you later. Sounds creepy.

And while we're at it... lets think about it before using the words "there" "their" or "they're" in a post.:mad:

allandanyways

Unnecessary use of the word "like".

"So, like, where are you going tomorrow? 'Cos I like, wanted to have some friends over and like, hang out, but not like, if you're here." (Real sentence, courtesy of my eloquent sister)

It's bad enough that Irish people copy it from Americans (unless you're from the South of the country where it's apparently used as punctuation, like) but it even sounds stupid when the Americans are doing it!


And people not from Scotland/Ulster/thereabouts saying "Aye" :mad:

That is true, but I do smile when I see octopi, as it shows there's still a little bit of Latin declensions in people.

These phrases in this order;

• No thanks I can make my own way home.
• No really I'll call you.
• No you cant come in for coffee.
• Stop your hurting me.
• No please no.
• >silence, only broken by crying<.

Followed by the inevitable

• Can you come down to the station. We need to take a DNA sample from you.

I dispise most neologisms, pop culture or sexual slang and business world jargon, and the orthographical errors with which these are often associated.

Lol, some randomer just fraped me!

Going forward, we will look to introduce measures to increase synergy.

It isn't the language I hate, it's the people using it.
