Things that annoy you that shouldn't

The dropping of "ly" on adverbs. It is happening more and more even with newsreaders, high ranking officials, etc. It drives me mad and is one of the few times I shout at the tv!

Grannybags you could be talking about my DH here lol. When he says that I feel like saying ‘well aren’t you a hero’ but I don’t.
Nothing much annoys me really I’m fairly easy going.
People on their phones looking at Facebook or other things while in company really gets to me though.

When apostrophes are used for every plural, every time an s is added so is an apostrophe ?
Owners not picking up dog poo and standing pretending they haven’t noticed what their dog is doing.
Bad manners in general.
I work in a little shop, it’s surprising how many people don’t say good morning/goodbye /hello/thank you when spoken to in a friendly manner.

There is no point getting annoyed with something that you can do nothing about. Just accept as it is. Far less stressful ?

Definitely phonetic spelling of business names ??

People who say 'owers' instead of 'hours', including presenters on tv and radio, who really should know better! IMO.

This sounds pretty trivial to me, they sound so similar@
Nucular instead of nuclear though, that's another matter!
I still don't like impact as a verb, to me something "has an impact" it doesn't "impact". I know it's in common use though.

That's a good point Theoddbird.

But just before I try to stop being niggled by silly things, I am irritated by so many things being described as cute. Especially animals being demeaned by being dressed in silly clothes, and then described as cute, and furbabies.
I could write a whole chapter on annoyances caused by my husband, but I'm going to try hard to ignore them (and him?) instead?

A certain celebrity who does not pronounce 'motor' on a car advert, it makes me cringe when he says mo'or !
People who say wiv (with), birfday, nuffing, somefing, fursday, free instead of three!

It's sumthink, surely?

Sick. As in, as a presenter said today, 'You can see this on the twenty sick of next month'.

We are pregnant., when speaking of a couple. Only a female can be pregnant.
pregnant
/ˈprɛɡnənt/

adjective
1.
(of a woman or female animal) having a child or young developing in the uterus.

Should be 'we are expecting a baby' if you wish to include the partner in the announcement.

Refering to the person from whom you rent your property as a "landlord". No one is a lord over me. Its a business arrangement not a social hierarchy.

Whats wrong with the terms "owner" or "property owner"?

How should we pronounce hours then, if not "owers" (to rhyme with showers?)
The h is silent. Forgive me, I'm just an ignorant northerner. . .

I think when someone says “passed” they are referring to passing from this life to the next life.

All of the above, especially my husband who also says "I've done that for you" when it's for us . And my lovely friend who always mixes up your and you're. It drives me mad, but I'll never tell her.

Don’t worry, Moggycuddler - I think there’s quite a lot of us who pronounce “hours” as “ours” (silent h). Not sure how else it should be pronounced, to be honest.

A annoying thing for me are foot wagglers - you know, those who sit at a table in your eye-line , cross one leg over the other (fine with that), and then shake their top foot incessantly, rather like a nervous twitch. I’m sure they’re unaware of what they are doing, but it really irritates me.

An, not A.

Please don't say that Moggycuddler it's another thing which annoys me when a northern accent is used to portray someone who is not very bright.

Drivers on the motorway hogging the middle lane when they are not overtaking. Drive in the left!

I’m

I hate being called Hun. A friend says it all the time and it drives me bonkers.
Men who think women on their own are desperate for a partner and can't manage on their own. I've a man around the corner from me who has become quite rude to me because I declined his advances. He actually said I won't get as many offers now at my age. Rude!

Myself absolutely agrees with yourself Vintagejazz about Pedants Corner. So irritating.

Glottal stops, bad grammar and spelling, adverts with squeaky voiced child actors.......... just about everything else already mentioned.

My bad
I'm good
We are pregnant

Haitch instead of aitch. Incorrect use of apostrophes. Drivers who use indicators as an optional extra. I could go on…….

Bad spelling. A week ago there was a TV magazine for sale with the words 'Judgment Day' right across the front. I needed one, but not that badly.
