To be Specific....

[Gossipmonster]

One of admin lady at work's favourite words is "specific" thing is she says "pacific" Every. Fucking. Time.

Another colleague (degree educated) says "she/he done" instead of "did".

I just want to scream - but feel like it's so petty I couldn't possibly say anything.

Anyone else? :)

Yanbu.
Another one is when people say "your" instead of "you'll" e.g. "Your never believe what xxx has put on FB! etc". That some people even write it as your and not you'll is baffling.

[greyslates]

Argh and those who put 'are' instead of 'our' and 'his' instead of 'he's'

[FlockOfTwats]

Scantily i think that's more often than not an auto correct thing. Because my phone does it.

[celebmum]

I know a specific/pacific'er too... she also says 'azactly' instead of 'exactly'... Grrrrrr!

[Hoppinggreen]

"Should of "-aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggg!!!!

[HyvaPaiva]

Brought when they mean bought. For the love of god that annoys me.

[PorkPieandPickle]

Oh agreed!! And 'will you borrow me something' or the opposite 'I lent it off him' argh!!

May not come up in everyday conversation but men have a prostate gland not a prostrate gland (we all fall down).

[DameFanny]

Tuer leurs

[Anonymai]

I can't bear "here, here!" and the borrow/lend. And hate supernanny for her pronunciation of unacceptable (unasseptable!).

[QueenofLouisiana]

"DS read lovely" or similar are my pet hate. I really want to bring it up with a TA at work, but I would hate to upset her as she is a lovely lady.

[DameFanny]

I worked with a woman who write "should of" on a formal report

[mindthegap01]

And the damp specialist who came to investigate the leak in our house and described the wall as "sweating profuseably"- WTAF??

[LegoCaltrops]

Yes. All of the above. Someone I know at work does most of these things. She is senior to me and it makes me want to scream.

[SueDoku]

'Axe' instead of 'ask' - and the one that really does my head in, 'nucular' instead of 'nuclear'.......

[takingthathometomomma]

"Definitely" written as "defiantly". THEY ARE DIFFERENT WORDS!

I wish it were but the people I'm thinking of actually say 'your' when speaking too! I have a feeling it's a South London/Essex thing ime.

[Kafri]

Should of and seen instead of seeing as (I'm going to the cinema seeing as it's my day off - just in case it's my dialect)

[ballstoit]

I'm learning ds to ride his bike...nope, you're not, you are TEACHING him (stab, stab, stab)

[bella411]

People who write "carnt" instead of can't. Seriously think what words are being abbreviated!!

And I'm board instead of im bored.

[Kafri]

I dint want to be beside ballstoit - (s)he has a knife and is cross!

[winkywinkola]

SKedule instead of sHedule

[pictish]

Been instead of being.
I'm not prone to spelling and grammar nazi-ism...but yeah that one makes me want to clout a person.

[bumbleymummy]

Draw instead of drawer. I've even seen that on furniture websites. 'Chest of draws'
