Your, The !

I don't watch the news anymore as anything important comes up on my phone and I can see what the weather is doing when I look out of the window

"Own it"!

I hate it when the newsreader says ‘it’s good night from me’ as I always have to say ‘and it’s goodnight from him’ a la Two Ronnies.

?

Appreciate the flowers Bridgeit

Just lighthearted humour Oldmeg ???

Or at least no polite answer!

Well there’s no answer to that ???

We have it’s callec Gransnet!

Couldn’t care less! I think some people don’t have enough to worry about if little things like this irritate them.

Get a life!

Bloomin predictive text, irritates not images ?

There is a light hearted call in programme on local radio. The presenter often says at the end of the call ‘speak to you later’ when he as no intention of doing this. It really images me.

OH! I mean programme not 'show'! I keep hearing people on TV referring to shows. Worrying that it's wormed its way in to my writing!!

Watch any show about buying houses, either at home or abroad, and the presenter always says "And here is your patio, here is your master bedroom," etc.

And when did we start calling the biggest bedroom the master bedroom? Another Americanism. I have heard estate agents call the en-suite the "master bathroom". Ugh! I do get cross, and yes, it's pedantry, but people will keep getting it wrong unless we point it out.

It will be some pseudo mumbo jumbo psychology about making it feel personal /brand loyalty etc etc. It is annoying!

Well its better than the constant 'for me' about any request for action.

We all have our idiosyncrasies Anniebach for some of us its pedantry. Others don't care about that. Different strokes for different folks.

I have a weather app on my phone which should state my address at the top of the screen. But sometimes the address is my neighbours, or even the next road. My weather? I don't think so!

They used to say "here is the news, wherever you are". I think they must think its more intimate saying "here is YOUR news" like we may feel they are just talking to us alone? ha ha ha... Either way it doesn't really bother me a jot....I just want to find out what the weather could be like in my area and even then, they get it wrong

Why does the use of words never bother me, with the exception of certain swear words ,

When M&S first started using 'your', I thought it was brilliant. After all if it was mine, I could help myself. Surely I wouldn't have to pay for what was mine?

I think It's time to graduate to Pedant's Corner!
I heard a BBC reporter honing in on something today rather than homing in.
It bothered me enough that I googled the 2 words and to my surprise, its now common usage for both to be ok.
Maybe it's my weather after all!

I usually hear "And now here is the news where you are" from both BBC and ITV

I hope it annoys you too Annibach. In the nicest possible way of course?

I hadn’t noticed the change Bridgeit, now I will be listening for it ?
