What makes my blood boil is when people use: "well good, well bad, well hot, well cold" etc.  >:( >:( >:(

If those terms can enjoy good health, what does the the bad health versions mean: "unwell good, unwell bad, unwell hot, unwell cold" etc.  :o :o :o :o

I though we had a word in the English language for use in such situation and it's 'very'.  :y

Don't even get me started on the the subject where most youngsters seem to talk in what I call "Eastenders speak" these days.  >:( >:(

Oh, that one GETs me too. >:( Retards walking into a shop and asking "can I get xy&z?".

It's a damned good job I'm not a shopkeeper because they'd get told "break off! It's my job to GET things. You, however, pay PURCHASE things if you like". ::)

One that gets my goat is the use of 'at about'.

e.g. At about 2200 hrs on Monday ......... etc

Its either AT 2200 or ABOUT 2200.  Cant have both and very common when you listen to the news (all channels) as well as documentaries.....
