Fuck. But only when used as a verb.

Makes me want to hit the person who says it.

But it is a verb....

I get what you're saying. It's like glaswegians, words like houses and choices, become housays, choicsays. That really gets my goat.

FLAPS. That is all.

Actually, it's not all.

You do not go on a diet regime, if you're angry with someone you're not feeling animus, and enormity doesn't refer to size.

Cheesey! followed by any body part is just disgusting! eurgh!

I hate it when people get "your" and "you're" mixed up.

"Your stupid", "You're new car" etc.

Also, I don't like the word "Math". I'm just too used to hearing "Maths" I guess.

I was going to point out that wikipedia has admitited that it is mostly rubbish, but it seem to agree with me, so it's not all bad.

Less.

As in, 'There are less cars here today'.

"Expresso". It's eSpresso, you fools.

Thus my understanding is that "gotten", while prevelant in America, is not part of British English.

It still exists in British English as part of "forgotten" and similar words, though.

I did say 'a little like Toby'. Bobby is closer, but for some unfathomable reason I imagine it to sound like Toby and then that gives the article in question the possibility of a personality...and nobody wants that.

Least of all when it's being given a shortened version of my name!
