The assumption that everybody drives.

'Off of'

I dread to think what would happen if I were to hear someone say a sentence which includes both 'gotten' and 'off of' envy

Nansnet Thu 10-Jun-21 10:41:43

People who say (and spell!) 'are', when they mean 'our'! I realise some people's regional accents may mean that they pronounce the word as 'are', but when they spell it that way as well?!hmm

Argumentative people, who argue just for the sake of it

The misuse of the words 'bought' and 'brought'

Gin Thu 10-Jun-21 11:23:30

Educated people who use ‘v’ for ‘th’ (wiv) and ‘k’ (everyfink). Is it a form of affectation? Hear it all the time these days on, my goodness, Radio 4!
