I know I’m being unreasonable but it’s bloody annoying.

Worse than myself?

Nothing is worse than than myself 😡

CleftChin · 06/06/2024 18:20

hence 'I'll do it miself' - it's myself, but pronounced differently

Don't come to Newcastle then.

Or Manchester. Or Liverpool. Or anywhere you'd consider "north", OP..

CleftChin · 06/06/2024 18:19

It's not 'me' as in 'you and me' though, it's 'mi' - it's shorter - it's just a different pronunciation of 'my' (or at least that's how I hear it where I'm from)

When @DistinguishedSocialCommentator agrees with you, you know you're on the wrong team.

Sorry but YABU, people say that because of regional accents...do you want to go back to the days of only allowing Received Pronunciation on the BBC too? Hmm

There are more annoying things than ‘me’ instead of ‘my’ to be fair

I'm glad I don't live in that kind of area or personally know people like that

It makes me cringe when I hear that rant!!!

I'm glad I don't know you.

GennyLec · 06/06/2024 18:10

What you’re basically saying is that you hate some regional dialects.

Soboredofdiettalk · 06/06/2024 18:04

Ma mammy, me da etc... not unusual where I grew up in Ireland. I actually think this is a dialect thing and not an error like "could of" or "I went pub last night"

GeckoFeet · 06/06/2024 18:02

Definitely not as bad as could of and would of

bryceQ · 06/06/2024 18:01

It's common in my home dialect. I don't say it, but it doesn't bother me.

Rickrolypoly · 06/06/2024 18:00

Sometimes you just need to. Kiss me arse just sounds better 😂

LakieLady · 06/06/2024 18:00
