Top of Mind..... aaargh!
and the word "gotten" , I hate it, according to what I looked up it appears to be correct, as in " she had gotten a ___" or " we had gotten blah blah blah" . but I just hate it. It just seems wrong.

Treat in the past tense annoys me when they say “Tret”

Mr Wilks - It's a fair point, well made.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

"Oh that's heart rendering! " No ! It's 'rending'... ffs !
"Can I have a slither of cake ?" No ! That's what snakes do !
Popular on here alot at the moment is "Swap it out" or "change it out" Are we American ? No. What happened to replace or change ?
My current 'favourite' is "my bad".....OMG ! Just ridiculous !
Blood pressure's rising. Good excuse for a glass of Macallan ! !

My favourite at the moment - calling people out. As in, "I'm calling you out on that statement". Another bloody americanism - what's wrong with using the word 'challenge'? I absolutely hate the way the English language is being ruined by lazy idiots with a vocabulary picked up from mindless cable channels.

It's not just the way younger people speak though , I despair at the lack of basic manners and the inability to use a knife and fork properly in public

"Enjoy ! " . Enjoy what FFS ?
"No worries". That must be nice ! This is fine from an Aussie.
" Can I get one of those strawberry tarts ? ". Yes you can but it's probably best if you allow the staff to get it for you.
"Shut up !" . Meaning "Well I never!".
" I was literally green with envy". No you were figuratively green with envy.
" So I parked the car the other day" . What caused you to park the car ?
Pedant mode off
The problem is that we all get caught using crap grammar on occasion. Language is a dynamic thing.We didn't even have agreed spelling rules until a couple of hundred years ago.
Off to seebif I can get some beer

Why do people use the word 'guys' referring to men and women.
My wife is definitely not a guy

Quite funny that words being used wrongly annoy you but then you make a spelling mistake
