tommccann Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Not sure if the "LOL" is what's supposed to annoy us or the fact that you can't spell "grammar"!! Pretty much the whole sentance
tech_guy Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Originally Posted by localzuk People who use 'what' instead of 'that' or 'which'. eg. 'I'm gonna buy a drill what works' etc... That's your average chav, then. And why is that chavs suffer from chavblindness - the inability to see that they're a chav?!
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 People who use 'what' instead of 'that' or 'which'. eg. 'I'm gonna buy a drill what works' etc... More or less than the 'Gonna' ?
localzuk Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 More or less than the 'Gonna' ? I'm not too worried about 'gonna', as 'going to' does lend itself to being shortened.
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 I'm not too worried about 'gonna', as 'going to' does lend itself to being shortened. It's just seeing it written. I'm brilliant at making spelling mistakes but at least I know the rights and wrongs of grammar and I left school 38 years ago.
webman Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 The one I hate is "personally"... Personally I don't see the problem with that.
laserblazer Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Personally I don't see the problem with that. Actually, ur rite. I cringe at some of the things our kids say. However, I far prefer the grammatically suspect but comprehensible to the those that I simply cannot understand.
Hightower Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Pretty much the whole sentance You're looking for the word sentence in that one mate
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 How often do you still see potatoe, tomatoe, tomato's, potatoe's?
LeMarchand Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I know the rights and wrongs of grammar and I left school 38 years ago. That's why you know the rights and wrongs!
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 That's why you know the rights and wrongs! What we need is more pedants in education. Like wot we ad when I was young.
elsiegee40 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Has anyone set up an edugeek spelling and grammar pedants' group yet? I think we need one!
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Has anyone set up an edugeek spelling and grammar pedants' group yet? I think we need one! Don't look at me, I have more sence I make far too many mistakes. Edited March 24, 2010 by creese
timzim Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 How often do you still see potatoe, tomatoe, tomato's, potatoe's? Try Tescos - they usually stock a good selection.
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Try Tescos - they usually stock a good selection. My daughter's pet hate. I say Tescos, she say TESCO!!!
localzuk Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 My daughter's pet hate. I say Tescos, she say TESCO!!! It is Tesco? You wouldn't say 'Asdas'...
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 It is Tesco? You wouldn't say 'Asdas'... No, around here it's Asdal.
eduabncs Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 'like' is mine. As in 'well like..I didn't want to go'. and during work hours 'I'm not technical'.....!
ahuxham Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 No, around here it's Asdal. Bristol? All those ooools. Like Ford Fiestool, Bananool and the likes How be on, Where be the dog. New age pirate dialect
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Bristol? All those ooools. Like Ford Fiestool, Bananool and the likes How be on, Where be the dog. New age pirate dialect Well done me cocker.....You've discovered my whereabouts. No word here is allowed to end in a vowel sound. It's more of an 'all' than an 'ool' though. It's said to be how Bristol got its name, from Brigestowe (Brigstow, Brigestow etc.)

They say Asdal as well, hence I knew it was Bristol It's very annoying, what's more annoying is walking on after work and the following being said. How be on. What is it with the word "be"

ahuxham Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Cliftun? She bist a posh un then. Hahaha. That's what I tell her! She's the only one from Clifton, the rest are from Fishponds/Filton, and ironically, shes the only really posh/snobby one! Must be something in the air
