to want to flick people in the forehead when they...

[LadyOfTheManor]

pronounce Pavlova as Pav-a-lova. Really winds me up. How dare they?

volumptuous
theasaurus

People who say 'Meee shell' for Michelle.
Dp says 'chicken ticker' for instead of teeker for tikka. No idea if this is correct but it winds me up.
I don't mind when kids say things like meeror for mirror and basketti for spaghetti as it's kind of sweet.

I'm sure somebody must have mentioned mischievious (mischeev-ee-us) by now but it always bears mentioning again. Makes me want to commit murder.

OP, I assume that if you read your post aloud, you would be flicking someone's "forrid", rather than his or her "four head"?

People who say 'Meee shell' for Michelle.

blame the Beatles

Pumpster...as a Michelle I completely agree. Everytime I hear Mee-shell I want to shoot the speaker in the face [unnecessary violence smiley]

AAARGGHHH!!!

Pacifically instead of specifically

Fun instead of unusual/interesting (usually in a fashion context)

Awesome instead of awe inspiring.

In NI there's a horrible grammar habit of missing out 'to be'. For example, "that floor needs swept" instead of "that floor needs TO BE swept. Have even heard it on BBC news.

As you can tell, I'm very intolerant. Anyone trying to high five me will get their forehead flicked with an axe.

"Needs swept" is a Scottish thing too.

hm in my book "needs sweeping" is just as bad as "needs swept"

albun --> album
millellium--->millenium
venasday--->wednesday
Constructing a question either using "isn't it that...?" or simply tack on "innit?" or "ne?" to turn a statement in to a question, ne?

LadyoftheManor, try this Midlands name, bet you can't write down the correct pronunciation (please don't cheat anyone who knows, this is a good one)

Caldmore

REEEsearch is American. ReSEARCH is English. Doesn't annoy me that much, but it annoys my dh and it annoys me when he goes on about it every time he hears it on TV or radio!

My dh always says Majorca whereas I say Mayorca . don't know which is the correct pronunciation but his sounds wrong to me.

People who use pretentious foreign words, and then get them wrong.

Bow-kay instead of 'Bunch of flowers'

Lunge-ery instead of 'Underwear'

Might have been said already on here but what really winds me up is when someone says "he's got blood pressure", or "he's got thyroid".

Ooh just thought of another one - my dad says data 'daah-ta'. WTF?!

DH: prop-ly

Me : properly

Grrrrrr!

Buz instead of bus.
I know someone who pronounces the p in Campbell instead of it being silent.

Woman at Direct Line said 'across the broad' the other day.

I cancelled my policy .

(She had pissed me off already for another reason - this tipped me over the edge. Corrected her, as well. Silly cow.)

I cannot pronounce loch correctly, as i always feel I am putting on a scouse accent.

So I say lock.

Sandy - are you not tempted to say - 'one would hope so' - or - 'thank god - you must be so relieved'

No we shouldnt mock the afflicted really should we l suppose.

Would be funny though.

I love it when northerners say 'stop' meaning 'stay'. I was amused and bemused when I was given directions and told to 'stop on t'roundabout'.

I'm pretty much a pedant, but make an exception for sandwich, which I think should be pronounced samwij.

Carefully enunciating sand-wich just sounds prissy to me.

Just love the South West Amblearance

Chillaxing has got to be the most annoying word used. I've actually hidden friends on fb for using that word! lol!

But surely Katisha, that should be SANWIJ - I mean where are you getting the "m" from????
