These days I seem to go around looking for things to hate.
My new one is the word "to".
Many people, including the king, pronounce it as "ta", well not quite "ta", more a mixture of "ta" and "te".
For example "I'm going ta the shops", or "We need ta get out into the fresh air".
Grrrrrh

Why do some people walk around finding fault everywhere? I’m on HeavenLeigh’s wavelength, it makes for a happier kinder existence.

I've only just joined here. I saw Pedant's Corner and thought this would be right up my street. For those who are ultra kind and accepting of everything - please don't come to pedant's corner beccause you'll get upset at us aggy old pedants. It's a nice place to let off steam and it's not hurting anyone or "unkind" at all. It seems that lots of us agreeing on here is making us smile.
