Jamie-nangrong Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 When people, mainly movie stars etc say ''it's like really good, or it's like nice''....it's not ''like'' it either is or isnt. Another irritant is...''at this moment in time'' of course it is! An elaborate way of saying nothing. Have you ever watch Star Trek? At the beginning it says...''to boldly go where no man has gone before'' then the movie starts and when they get to where they are going there is always someone there!!!! In any case we don't boldly go we go boldly (we don't quickly run we quickly) but thats Americans for you, ruining the English language ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvdkeyes Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had a cockney bf in UK. Verbal communication wasn't easy. What I find worse than difficult accents is people who truly butcher the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for them. I find the language snobs more annoying. People that think they are so superior. I have no use for that type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvdkeyes Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 What about people who use "That" instead of "Who" when referring to people. For instance, I saw a man that was blind." It, more correctly, should be "I saw a man who was blind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WannaGo Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The ones who kill me are the people who've been taught better, but still talk like sister-fucking rednecks or gangbanging hood rats and are actually proud of the fact that they don't speak anything approximating proper English. Yes, confirming your ignorance with every word that falls out of your mouth is something that should always make you proud. Jackasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
