I cringe when I hear "the missus" and swearing, I think there are enough words in the dictionary without swearing.

Over here, the term "partner" is used by homosexual people who are living together or who have made a life-time commitment to each other.
The one expression that really got up my nose this summer while I was in England was, " Having said that". I wanted to say "Yes, I heard you the 1st time".

Initiative,instead of "Idea" and Lack of resources in stead of "Short of Cash" then the favourite Hate," Bluesky Thinking" **M**.

Obviously

people who keep saying....'you know' in between every sentance when speaking...
blah blah blah you know.....blah blah you know...


NO NO NO ...I dont know!!!!...thats why I am /they are asking you!!!!!!..

I think journalists should use good English, it is,after all, a tool of the trade they are paid to carry on.

When Anita Roddick sadly died there was an article stating that she had contracted an illness at the time of the birth of her youngest daughter. She had two daughters so there was no youngest.

In the T.V listings it mentions the paintings of da Vinci. His name was Leonardo!

They are paid to write it properly!

Agree with you on 'babes' Valerie

Agree with you Christine

Other ones to add to that..."of" instead of "off"
"been" instead of "being"
"there" when they mean "their"
"would of" should be "would have"
I could go on.................

I am a Ms and have been for many years.Have never thought it the business of anybody else as to whether I was married or not and you don't call single men Master do you?

rhymes with hunt has to be the most discusting word!
Strangers that call you love is the most annoying!!

"SCUSE ME LUV"

arghhhhhh

The title "Ms"........gggrrrrrrrrrr

I use the term partner simply because I would feel silly at my age 51 refering to him as boyfriend and he is not my husband. Has anyone a better term I can use please.
And I cannot stand swearing by women especially four letter words. It sounds really terrible and seems to have become the norm to some. There is no need for it, as soon as a woman starts to foul mouth and swear,she goes right down to the gutter.

This sentence made frequently by social services
"lessons have been learn't" when a baby or small child as been abused and subsequently died when they should have been aware of the situation.

Hate being called Mother. My Dad used to call his mum mother..........Also hate to be called Gran.........reminds me of same lady........lol.....
My grand-children call me Nana

mate, pal, buddy, any of these when the person is not a friend is most annoying.

Basically, absolutely, at the end of the day, eyeballing instead of seeing,having dialogue instead of speaking.....are just a few.
