Please RSVP - seriously?

[Namechangenell]

Official correspondence asking me to 'please RSVP'. Why??? There's no need for please... Rant over

None of these bother me, maybe I say them in real life sometimes

Either it is stationary or it is not ...

In the USA they have such a thing as a rolling stop. it's not a stop

Also "please remember to take all your personal belongings"

Your belongings are yours.

YES to 'I could care less'!! Surely anyone could look at that sentence and see that it makes NO SENSE!!

also threads with titles like 'AIBU that she was rude?'. what? huh? AIBU to think that she was rude. sigh

Safe Haven

There's an advert for a fitted bedroom furniture company which says 'if you want to make the most of your storage space and maximise it too' - gives me the rage every time I see it...what do they think maximise means?!!!

If we're being pedantic, Moonlight Shadow was released in 1983.

Also being pedantic the song is 4 am in the morning !

Leading expert - as opposed to all the rest who are just experts?

Might be on my own here, but tautology puts a smile on my face, along with mixed metaphors, spoonerisms etc.

Half expect.

Also "please remember to take all your personal belongings"
Your belongings are yours.

I take that as, please take the stuff you came on with. Don't take the stuff we gave you on the plane that 'belonged' to you during the flight - eg, headphones, blanket.

Name - that was bugging me too

An error in citing the error. Aargh!

Do you know what they mean?

You do?

Then what is the big deal? There's a pedant corner for these petty conversations. Life is far too short, unless we are talking about things where it actually matters.

Orchard, the complete stop (ie, crew have been told to disarm doors and cross check, seatbelt sign off) is because people decide that each pause of the plane as it waits to make a turn is it stopping and leap up.

Not that this is a personal bugbear or anything...

service available 24x7x365 .... 24x7 is enough !!!!!!!
and what about leap years ????

CMOTDibbler - hadn't thought of it that way! However, now being pedantic ... should it be "final" stop?

Exact same thing gets my goat.

DH believes morningtime (yes, all one word) is a "proper" word and acceptable to use in general conversation.

Sounds like the recorded message when you phone my GP surgery - 'we are currently dealing with other patients at present'

Kurri, DH's out of office message reads "I am currently out of the office until..."

He's lucky I love him. It makes me grind my teeth. I have pointed it out a hundred couple of times

I seem to be posting this on every thread I am on but the use of "hero" as a verb is currently interfering greatly with my enjoyment of Masterchef Australia.

"I am going to hero the beef"

FUCK OFF

I hope my use of "currently" was acceptable there

Purple, your use of "currently" was just fine .

What does "hero the beef" even mean?!

(I don't watch Masterchef Australia)
