    I just started to read through this thread to see if anyone posted "I don't want nothing" when they mean they don't want anything/ want nothing and many other double negative variations when they mean the opposite of what they say, but I have seen this reference a few times now. Is it the misspelling of the word Angel that bothers people or those that mean to say that the deceased are with the Angels now?

    I have also found people celebrating the deceased's birthdays very odd by posting the age the person would be had they not died. And also elderly people who want to celebrate their birthdays months earlier just in case they don't make it. It would be great if we could all celebrate being centenarians even if we don't make it. Wouldn't that be pointless

    Every sporting occasion is an "epic" tussle these days....completely overused to the point that it has no meaning anymore….

    There is a radio avert at the moment where the guys says Arland for Ireland, so annoying and he is clearly Irish himself, but cant even say the word correctly.

    Affectations on ads, esp, and it's usually female voiceovers that do this, the drawn out pronunciation OAAAAR for the word "or".

    Why do alot of ads, jingles etc on RTE, usually advertising their own programs and other internal stuff, refer to the channel as "aaaaaaaaRTE", instead of "awRTE" as I imagine most people do. Jenny O' Sullivan has been doing it for years on the news, but lately I am hearing younger voices saying it like this too. Is it something to do with an "as Gaeilge" pronounciation that I am not familiar with?

    And don't get me started with O hEadhra on Drivetime and his completely over the top pronounciations of anything "as Gaeilge" - Gawwwwrda Sioccccchhhhawwwna, an Taoiseaccccchhhhh, Met Aiddddan etc!

    All fairly irritating to mine sensitive ears 😐️

    I know aaaaaaaaRTE and awRTE create a sound in your head. But I have no idea what that sound is. Is it like the lad in the Sky ad trying to make up his mind what to watch?

    Bespoke. I never really understood why that word became popular and it's everywhere, eg: bespoke florist, bespoke jeweller. I'm upsetting myself typing this :-o

    Bespoke could never have been described as popular. It peaked in written English about 200 years ago, but even then at a minuscule percentage of all written words. It has seen a small climb from around 1980, but only to a level well below its peak.

    I associate it with Bespoke Suit. I was surprised to see that Bespoke Suit was unknown in written British English until the 1920's, and American English until around 1960.

    the bespoke thing is laughable. Last night I was shopping or rather browsing online, and every Samsung product / device was described as a bespoke…. Hoover, washing machine, fridge freezer…..all bespoke.

    I’m looking now at a pair of black leather shoes, as plain, traditional and run of the mill as you’ll ever see… but somehow…bespoke

    i'm not sure if this is along the theme of the thread, but i've noticed people saying substantive in a business setting when they mean substantial, that and people not knowing when to correctly use Paddy and I and Paddy and me drives me nuts, there is an assumption that Paddy and I is always correct english when it isn't!

    Like a pirate saying aahhrrR is the only way I can describe it….most poeple I know would pronounce the R like awrrR

    In fact I will expand that and say everything about RTE gets on my goat…..literally pretty much everyone and eveything in that place annoys me….struggling to think of 1 presenter or personality on RTE that I actually like.

    If you picked up the idiom "Gets on my goat" from people you know, tell them that the standard form is "Gets my goat".

    I just find it to be an indicator of a place being expensive.

    Same as that other wanky term beloved of Irish Christmas markets and beard-stroking food stalls: 'artisan'.

    ”Pre-provision”….

    The act of provisioning something is inherently done in advance. Drop the ‘pre’; it brings nothing to the party (another expression that can get on the tîts of others).
