to think you are NOT weary

[DontPanicMrMannering]

DH and everyone else. You are not in fact tired of something that concerns/elicits caution of you. You are WARY of it.

Ok OK? I'm right and in no way unreasonable

My OH says "mute point" instead of moot no matter how many times I tell him, drives me mad grrr.

I had a few work colleagues who used to say 'weary' in the wrong context when they actually meant 'wary'.

Thought it was odd but so many people used to say it, I wondered if I was the one getting it wrong!

Oooh don't get me started on Affect/effect!!

It reall hurts my eyes when I see it written down incorrectly, mainly at work within people's correspondence, the worst is in official documentation- does nobody check these things?!

CustardLover that's my biggest bugbear!...

"Good morning Mrs Laquila! Could I just have a quick chat with yourself about solar panel heating?"

"Is it yourself who pays the utility bills in the household? "
Gaaaaaah!

Mmm, this starter has really wet my appetite.

I've seen that in proper newspapers.

Heavens. I just had to look up "discrete" and "discreet" (I had no idea there were two words!)

For me it is aks, pacifically and ambleeance.

The "could of, would of" thing is more to do with our Yorkshire accents up here I think, but I agree it is terrible written down!

I've noticed people have started to use 'his' instead of 'he's' on the dreaded FB. I don't get it.

Also, my DH says 'volnerable' instead of 'vulnerable'. He's also guilty of 'free' instead of 'three' though - grr.

And where I live, everyone says 'was you' instead of 'were you' and 'I done' instead of 'I did'. I'm desperately trying to snap DS(5) out of these bad habits before it's too late!!!

Goand, I notice some people also do the opposite with 'he's' and 'his;' 'he put he's coat on' .

It could be worse, ducks - at least he doesn't think it's a Moo point, like Joey from Friends

I bet they do "he's" because they've been taught adding an apostrophe is the way to show ownership - "that coat is GiveItYourBest's" - so "he" and "he's".

I saw a sign in my local shopping centre asking everyone to "bear with us while ongoing car park improvements are made", but someone had cleverly crossed out "bear" and written "bare" above it in marker pen. Hahaha.

that is how we need to answer
"Do you have a nectar card at all?"
"Partially"

"Are you married at all?"
"Completely"

oh you are absofuckinglutely not being unreasonable.
My example is people who say 'reach'...
'oh the smell was really bad, it was making me reach'
'I wasn't sick, I was only reaching'
wtf? Do you not think retch is a real word?

OP are you me? DH says this and it is excruciatingly annoying.

All these things annoy me too...

One that gets me is all this "popping" people expect you to do for them. Doctors and nurses are the worst for it. "Can you just pop yourself on the bench for me...that's it, now pop your top off for me"

I think 'go toilet' is a regional thing - colleague from Devon used to say this. Made my skin crawl.

The newsreaders on local radio here say amble-ance not ambUlance. Makes them sound 6.

One of my tutors talks about the course's well-known alumini (pronounced 'aloo-min-eye.' He also thinks the plural of 'medium' is 'mediums.' Pretty basic knowledge for an artist, you'd think.

"we went to mine" "shall we go to mine" ....drive me absolutely insane.

Also HAITCH, which just makes me suicidal as half the country appear to use it.

Just spotted on a thread: "reigning in"
Grrrrr.
I had forgotten how much I am irritated by the failure to understand rein/reign

I am weary of all these spelling and grammatical errors.

I am wary of making them myself.

My mother and I had a huge row last year as she told me my ds had 'ravished up' his dinner. She meant something like 'devoured ravenously' and was thoroughly offended and refused to believe me when I explained the meaning of ravished.

Festive, "shall we go to mine?" is a bit lazy/colloquial but not wrong, is it?
