IABU but these annoy me

[LookingGoodForTheLassies]

"Because " rather than "Because of ".

The use of adjectives instead of nouns, eg crazy rather than craziness. Amar in Bing Bunny pisses me off when she encourages them all to shake out the crazy.

Verbs being used as nouns eg invite instead of invitation. I fully acknowledge that IABU on this because examples like this will be the most common form before long and my preferred usage will be the antiquated one.

Heaven forbid language should change.

Honestly, you need to get over it. No language is fixed. You know how you don't speak Middle English? That's because language evolves.

I am a stickler for grammar, an absolute sticker and I have no problem at all with expressions like "Science of stupid" or "a bit cringe." I see them as saying something in a different way to make them be more amusing. I would smile at "Science of stupid" but not react at all to "Science of stupidity."

I have to say that "Why would she do that" is grammatically correct and with a discrete (see what I did there?) difference to "Why did she do that?" I see "Why would she do that?" as a more general speculation, asking why anyone might be of a mindset to do something, but "Why did she do that?" is looking for a more definite answer. If someone had murdered someone, you would say "Why did she do that?" not "Why would she do that?"

AnUtterIdiot - yes, me too. Trouble is too many people are completely of ignorant of the rules (some of which are more important than others).
I've also started to get really irritated with he lazy/wrong speech of my OH, excused because 'it's dialect' (it's not).

because the dog needs fed.

I am cringing. People say that?

Acknowledged that in the OP Waffles80.

'Because' isn't always followed by 'of'

I like to see 'that' in between two verbs. I think THAT I will go...

The use of the word 'of' when it should be 'have'. They say "I would of done, I should of done, I could of done". Noooooooo, It's should have, would have, could have! Aaaarrrghh, gets right on my lil's.

People who turn nouns into verbs (I think) deserve a special section of hell. These also tend to be people who replace ordinary, boring sounding stuff with more impressive stuff. Like people who say they live in Sutton Coldfield rather than in Birmingham or who work in a administrative support rather than they're a secretary

I always think it sounds as though they're trying to make their life and experiences sounds more grand than they are.

"We holidayed in North Wales using money we were gifted by DH's father. On the first morning we breakfasted at a local eatery"

Rather than

"We went for a weekend in Rhyl using the £200 that FIL gave us last Christmas. On the first morning we ended up eating under-cooked eggs at a gresy spoon on the A458"

BBC people talking in the present tense about stuff that happened in the past also need punching in the willy.

"In June 1491, we see the birth of the future King Henry VIII"

No, we don't "see" it. Perhaps we "saw" it but not really because we weren't there. Just say "The future King Henry VIII was born in June 1491".

Cocks.

Scraping nail on a blackboard:

Invite
Of instead of have

Amusing:

Pacifically & defiantly, the first of which auto correct wants nothing to do with!

Despairing:

Facebook's example and many similar...

Personally, I find hyperbole a million times better than anything else in the entire universe!
