[QUOTE="Daku, post: 414136, member: 190018"] The things that annoy me are: - the American use of the word "situation" ("We have a situation here..") - the illiterate use of 'innit' to mean everything from "aren't I", "haven't we?" to "weren't you?" - the pronunciation of February as Febry - the use of US-9/11-style dates for events in England ("24/7" or whenever the London attack was) - euphemisms used purely for misguided reasons of so-called political correctness and the related, apparently successful brain-washing which has been ongoing for the past 10 years or so - people who write their names and addresses without beginning the words with capital letters when, e.g. filling out order forms - people (especially the French) who write their names and addresses ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS when, e.g. filling out order forms 'O'-red [/QUOTE]
