"i am sitting here" right. "I am sat here" IS WRONG YOU FUCKERS

[MikeRotch]

amen

Did we always have a Pedants' Charter Accessibility Charter? I noticed it the other day.

Yanbu.

YABU. It's dialect.

I got told off for saying "going on the garden" instead on in.
Just a Yorkshire thing I think.

"I am led in bed"

YANBU

A pet hate of mine

I am sat here in my maxi dress, swaying my heavy thighs from side to side.

YY I hate it when people say that! I had a friend from Bristol who used to say "I/he/she was sat" grrrr! I'm such a pedant I can't even deal with Pedants' Corner as discussion tends to wind me up if other people who claim to be right are obviously wrong

BodyofEeyore my DH is one of those hateful people (although has many redeeming qualities, which is why I decided to marry him anyway ) I was quoted on Talk Roundup shouting at somone on a thread about that

Amen. I have recently read lots of posts which state "I went to the shops and BROUGHT a great new hat" and similar.

You never BROUGHT a new hat! You BOUGHT one!

Oh Barbara, led in bed makes me seethe! Especially if they go on about something they 'brought' or how many 'texes' they get a month

"I was sat on the sofa" conjures images of someone being picked up like a doll and sat down by someone else!

Never heard of led in bed. Do they mean led on?? Led astray? Or that they were dog collared and led around?

It's definitely, not definately.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

What is "led in bed"?

Brilliant.

If an OP is full of bad grammar and littered with redundant apostrophes and exclamation marks I automatically disagree with the poster. More often than not I don't even open the thread.

YANBU, and I agree with cryhavoc. Would it be too pedantic to mention the nightmare that is there/their/they're?

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets. I did . I did . I brought a new hat.........I brought it home after i bought it. So there !

An' he went an' I went and then he went an' did an' I sez ..... Grrrrr !!

An' he went, an' I went ,and then he went an' did ,an' I sez ..... Grrrrr !!

Is it better wiv punch-u-at-shun ?

YANBU. I find it terribly difficult to sympathise when an OP says they are "sat crying" in the thread title.

Reminds me of my brief time on BabyWorld

And yes, I know IABVVU to have been banned from visited that forum.

Trumpton
I hate the "and I turned and said, and then she turned and said, and I went...."

This one is my pet hate. I never correct dh because I don't want to be a henpecky old harridan but this one makes me hiss "it's SITTING" under my breath. Nearly everyone I know gets it wrong. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

it's not fucking northern colloquialism - it's wrong in the north too

amen MikeRotch amen

I live in pedants' corner and MikeRotch you are correct.

Best wishes,
Fucker

You can tell it's half term in the Rotch household .

MikeRotch, I love you. And you, BarbaraBar. I have a friend who is led on the sofa/led in bed and it is only because I love her that I do not punch her. She also text her husband yesterday. Argh! No! You textED him!

And as for the 'I am sat here...', it's not dialect. It's just bloody wrong!
