Gets on your nerves

[Fulham Fallout]

Could of, should of and would of ffs

Yeah.  Add that to my list. 

How slang is making it’s way in to the Oxford dictionary. My son said “gonna” the other day and I said there’s no such word, it’s “going to”.  He looked it up and it’s in the dictionary. FFS!!! Standards are slipping so fast!

Shop assistants who carry on a private conversation when you’re waiting to be served.

People who finish off your sentences.

People who add unnecessary words at the end of every sentence they speak. You know what I mean like?

People who don’t know the difference between bought and brought, lend and borrow, their, there and they’re.

People who keep saying “gotcha” after every sentence you say.

People who write ect.  It’s 3 fucking letters.

Liars.

What if they are an arcichatect?

People who state they are “proffessional”.  How, when they can’t even spell the word correctly?

Surely nothing, and I mean nothing, is worse than people who don’t say thanks after you’ve let them out of a side street, for example? I think I win this one.

[Offside]

could "of"

revert back -  used regularly by journalists and BBC correspondents who should know better

USA film characters who say "copy that" in response to every sentence

cold callers who start the conversation asking about my health, and then end the conversation with "you have a great day"  in response to me telling them to "fuck off".

This, a thousand times this!

There is no greater crime against humanity than not saying thank you when someone gives way for you.

[Offside]

giving you the "heads up" 

just got an email  " hello I am "reaching out to you" 

and "hey" which has replaced "hi" which replaced "hello". 

and  "can I get "

Of course abbreviations/reductions/compound reductions and colloquialisms are in the dicks.   According to the OED, the origin of 'gonna' dates back to the early 19th century representing a regional or colloquial pronunciation ('ganna').  I'd never have challenged "gonna" in Scrabble, 'cos it seems an obvious word for inclusion.  The word "ain't" is a belter for use and long and controversial history.  I day know fer certain if "dunno" is included; lo! it is!

If “ain’t” is in the dictionary, is “ay” as in “I ay doin’ it”

Is that not just the natural evolution of language?
