To get wound up by slither?

[anxious2017]

Why? Why do people say they'll have a "slither" of cake/pie? It's "sliver". It annoys me unreasonably

Expresso instead of espresso, but the worst ever is when people say "what one?" Instead of "which one?". Don't know why but really makes me cringe. My DP hates when I say "off of" 😂

"Low and behold!"

Really winds me up. Lo. It's Lo.

And for that matter "Viola!" Instead of voila.

The shortening of et cetera to ect instead of etc gets to me too. One is the first three letters, the other is a painful and brutal form of MH treatment.

Aargh! I've just realised that I've referred to maths practise instead of maths practice in my email to the home education officer this morning. FFS.

TUT!!!!

EKcetera. It's eT cetera FFS.

BasLamic vinegar. No. No it isn't.

Brexit is exit with a br, not egg-zitit with a br grin

Brexitit? Is that a tit who voted to leave?

Fink, I can't remember IPA, but google provided this page, www.dictionary.com/browse/exit
which suggests that both eg-zit and ek-sit are acceptable variations of the word "exit", so "Bregzit" is not the atrocity some might imagine.

I've just repeated both words: I say "Breksit" but "egzit".

I say Wed-ens-day...North east, pretty sure that's how we all pronounce it up here!

Dh say 'realliterate' instead of 'reiterate'...He says many words incorrectly but it's just one of his many quirks!

Personally hate 'a' instead of 'I', mainly seen on fb posts/texts by youngsters, and 'I done' instead of 'I did'

And 'on route' instead of 'en route', 'click' instead of 'clique' and more I'm sure

Surely the right word is sliver......

Does these words bother you OP slitter slithers slithery slithered slather slither siltier shelter glitter slitters sleetier slatier slithering saltier shelterer jilters kilters glitters slathers clothier....

" SundialShadow

I believe that is the point of the thread

@ Srappy, that's one of mine as well. Also I have noticed the American "normalcy" increasing in use over here. Fucking normalcy, it's not even a proper word, it's NORMALITY!

Teeeeeheeeeee

Kirsty Allsopp pronounces create as crate. I bloody hate it, crating all this craft stuff like she's going to shift it about on a forklift.

Bet she wouldn't spell the word wrongly, though.

I hate it when people say "Pacific" instead of "specific". Urgh, normally I correct people by saying "Could you be more specific?" and they look at me like I've just dribbled down my shirt.

Why don't they get that "To be Pacific..." makes no sense at all?? Jeez. What does one of the planet's oceans have to do with them making a particular point?

Methinks sundialshadow has misunderstood this thread 😉

Ooh yes en route and people seem to use on point ALL the time now. It's en pointe!

I have a friend who says gree like Brie for Gruyere cheese.
