Draggletail Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I get annoyed when I see 'Americanisms' being used seemingly more and more in the U.K. I know that language is a fluid and changing thing, but I just can't help it. The latest one is how the use of the word 'Likely' is changing here to the American. Grrr. Yes, I know that there's more important things to be irriatated by in life. I'll post more personal annoyances as the thread progresses (if it does!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The more you focus on what annoys you, the more annoyed you become. Just let it go and chill out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggletail Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Thanks! I'm not very good at chilling out, more of a worrier. A beer or two in the evening helps though. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Folk who talk loud on their phones when on public transport. Folk who put their feet on seats Folk who don't say thanks when you give them right of way. Actually, people in general. And milk cartons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkieontheTyne Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Seriously. The report in the paper where for instance a car has crashed into a wall/tree/ post box. There was only one person involved, the driver. But the report in the paper has to keep referring to “they” were breathalyser/arrested or whatever. If there’s only one person, it can’t be a “they”. It’s a he or a she.😡. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm largely O.K with people, and milk cartons I don't use as I buy the plastic bottled stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
