To bristle every time my DH says

"Scuse" instead of "excuse me"?!? Just "scuse", not even "scuse me"!

I've never heard anyone say this apart from DH. It sounds pretentious and wannabe-foreign to me.

I've heard it used loads Confused to be honest I'd probably find somebody saying "excuse me" in full a bit overly formal. You know that sort of passive aggressive politeness you get sometimes from people?

YANBU if it's one of those things that annoys you though. I loathe hearing "wines" instead of "wine". "I had a few wines last night" just sounds fucking weird.

Yeah I say 's'cuse Sorry!

I've got a creepy uncle that says...oops squeeze me....instead of excuse me, he's been saying it years,I will punch him one day.

Oh! And "healthful" instead of "healthy". Always makes me think 'shut the fuck up at once, please'.

Thinking about it, I'm horribly intolerant, linguistically speaking, so YADNBU, because that we make me unreasonable as well.

I agree greebo - I also hate people saying 'eat healthy' instead of 'eat healthily'

Mine just says "Move" if he wants me out of the way.
