Not bloody been.

I have only recently started to see this, but it is really annoying me. Very, very much!

That is all.

It is when the word been is used incorrectly instead of being, for example:

I was been really nice to them

It really, really annoys me. Irrationally so. My grammar is nothing to write home about, but at least i attempt to use the English language and its words in the right place (I may hyper ventilate about Pacific and specific in a moment too).
