The worse thing.

Also people reigning it in.

Yes, I often wonder why so many people apparently can’t differentiate between worse and worst.

But ditto to reign/rein.
Phase/faze is another I keep seeing lately.

And just yesterday, ‘Seen as I…’ when she clearly meant, ‘Seeing as I…’.

One of the Radio 2 presenters regularly says “arks” instead of “ask”. Drives me nuts!

Also loose/lose
Defuse/diffuse
Increasingly I see 'ly' missed from the end of words eg she did amazing

Towing the line.

The autocorrect on my iPad just changed that to ‘toeing’ so it agrees with me!

‘Different to’ also irks me. It should be ‘from’.

Noone on TV can say sixth. I've heard sick, six or even sith.

Bored OF something and something being described as quite/fairly unique are two of the expressions that really bug me

Our Education minister in NI says I had went! What hope for the children.

Also, must of went!

And ‘two twins’. 😂
How many?? Hehe.

I've no hope! My autocorrect just changed groceries to groceries!

🤬 rockeries to groceries!!

My latest - reaching out. A reply which I received from an Energy Company when I had queried the bill began with
“ Thank you for reaching out to us……..” What’s wrong with
“contacting us.”?

The other day I went to a local cafe and the teenager who served me had a problem understanding me .
I certainly had trouble understanding him .

Foreign born ?
No .
He was born in the UK and his parents are both English .
He's has adopted the latest newspeak to such an extent that he can't communicate .

When ''little'' is shortened to ''lil'' like in those awful ''singers'' names...Lil Baby, etc.

And shortened words such as ''u'' ''r'', and so on instead of ''you'' ''are''.

''Muzak'' instead of ''music''

Various others. No wonder those from other countries who want to learn English are getting totally confused!

My annoying one is the BBC news, who regularly use the phrase 'revert back'.
You can't revert forward.

Then there is the perennial 'less and fewer.' Apparently there is a supermarket in Cambridge with an aisle for 'fewer than 10 items.' I applaud Cambridge for getting it right.

"Queue" or "que" more illiteracy. Their off of the scale these days. I'm sat here literally fuming.

‘We’re excited to see you at 10 am on Thursday.’

A text from Specsavers about my appointment. Not sure ‘excited’ is the right word!

Nor have you turned up yet! 😁

I have been watching previous series of Traitors on tv - one contestant used "literally" every few words, and I lost count of "to be fair" being said
eg. "I literally think he is a traitor because he literally lied, but to be fair ......."

Aaaarrgh! She was aged 30 so literally (haha) not a teenager to be fair and in my opinion old enough to know better.

Was she being honest as well, Sparklefizz?
"To be honest ....."

I always smile to myself when people say "If I'm honest ...." (are they usually not?) or "I can't lie ..." when presumably they would lie normally.

‘Recognise’ and re c o n i s e.Sorry had to write it like that ,computer kept correcting!

I still hate the fact that people say, ‘it is what it is’. It really annoys me and must be one of the most pointless quotes of all time.
