‘Lessons will be learned ‘…..NO they won’t !!

How about the ubiquitous "opportunities were missed"?

Those wretched opportunities - always trying to prevent someone from doing their job properly!

You've done good (good what???) instead of you've done well.

Text instead of texted. ‘I text her and said …’. No!!!

Hubby. Kiddos, Fur babies.

grannybuy I just received a text message that began, "I should of went with my instinct." Here in the North East a lot of people 'of went' rather than 'have gone'. 😭

Why use two words when you only need one?

The 'journey' cliche seems to be applied to anything and everything! It's usually something twee and it certainly should NOT be used for having cancer!

Agreed. Cancer is NOT a journey!!

Your thoughts are valid.

... and "toileted"

Nurses shouting across the ward, "has Mrs xx been toileted yet?"

Agree with many of these, special bug bear is H pronounced haitch. There's a recorded message on one of the tax sites where a woman says it about six times in quick succession. 😩. Holibobs, of instead of have eg "I'd of gone if I could". Also, the current seemingly ubiquitous pronunciation of sloth to rhyme with cloth, an Americanisation. In my mind it rhymes with oath. My little grandson and I have fun battles about it as he only seems to hear it on American TV shows.

My bad, would of, less than instead of fewer than when appropriate, can I get, fur babies etc. Also, various phrases beloved of politicians who don't have single original thought or word in their head, such as 'and that is why', 'ordinary working people' and many more. Perhaps they all go for robot training and are given vocabulary to use.
