Commencing sentences with "so" ....
"in this country" as opposed to "here", "the UK", "Britain" - obviously acceptable but is used constantly and it's getting on my nerves!!
Yes, the nouns turned into verbs - "red carded", "he/she medalled" etc
Oh and as already said, turning me or I into "myself" or saying "me and the wife went to so and so" - wrong on two counts, "me" should be "I" (you can't say "me went to so and so" and then, of course, the "I" should come after "the wife" (which is another phrase I can't stand) oops, that makes three counts!
What makes you think I'm a pedant
