Anyone else noticed how everyone on TV when asked a question replies
so......
When did that start? More to the point I bet you can't use it for a whole day! ;D

So.. I was thinking exactly this on the way to work today when some idiot was being interviewed on radio 4. ::)
It always sounds horribly patronising to me for some reason. It's almost an immediate acknowledgement of the question that's used to try to cover up for the fact that the interviewee is about the answer a completely different question. >:(
-
Americans. ::)
-
It's the new 'well...'
-
So the one that gets my goat is when people start a sentence with " Yes, No...." ::)
What the hell does that mean? :-\

This has been happening for at least two years, maybe more. Another, more annoying, assault on the English language is when they say 'myself' instead of 'me'.
John and myself went to lanzarote this year. If you find it, bring it to myself. My missus started doing it, until she got royally slapped down for being a pretentious (and grammatically incorrect) twot.

My pet hate is overuse of "literally"
I mean, we just so drunk, I literally laughed my head off. Hmmmm messy ::)

Quite a few of these examples of verbal diarrhoea get on my wick. Using the phrase "to be fair" when they actually mean "to be honest", is very common these days.
The police seem to be developing their own version of the English language whereby spokesmen (or women) start most of their sentences with the word "clearly". I'm guessing instructors tell them this sounds authoritative ?
Ive watched several police shows on Tv recently, and the current buzzword seems to be "potentially". It pops uyp in every other sentence.
Then theres the chavs who initiate conversation with a noise which sounds like "natameenmate ?"
If I knew what you meant, I wouldn't have to suffer listening to you - fickin moron. :D

Politicians often start with....
That is a good question. But the question you really should be asking me is this. :)

I do that. ;D
More pretentious is the use of the word 'one' :)

Them people instead of those people.
Your instead of you are, or you're.

puticullay is another BBC word :(

Erm well you know is always a good one

The number of politicians who say nucular instead of nuclear amazes me.
Motorbycyclist Casey Stoner usualy started his answers to journalists questions with "yeah, nah" or "nah,yeah" God only knows what that was about.
-
Not only words that annoy me , but the "trendy" but awful phrases like "love you to bits" " blue sky thinking" etc.
All a load of nonsense.

Nucular. When one of them says it, my missus goes and hides. She knows what's coming >:(
I can't half swear, me ;D

Coversely - a director (now managing director) of a company I worked for which owned over 100 trucks, always referred to arctics and wouldn't be told any different. ::)

Aircrafts as the plural of aircraft... Aaargh :D

It's all been a bit mild so far ......... you lot wanna get yourself a life 8)
But the thing (see I started the sentence with a but) what really gets on my goat (think Porridge sketch) is people that constantly say 'you know' during conversation. Almost as if they haven't got the point across, 'you know'. If I knew, you wouldn't need to keep saying 'you know'.
So......... so sounds much better than 'you know', you know what I mean? :P
