jamp - WTAF? I have never heard that before. I presume it is supposed to be jumped.

Jamp?! JAMP?! Have broken out in cold sweat...

JAMP?!?

Jamp!!

I had a manager who always wrote "could of" or "should of" instead of could have or should have. It doesn't bother me when people say it but it made my teeth clench seeing it written.

I have inherited my father's (a teacher) hatred of "can I lend a xxx" instead of "can I borrow?" I hear it a lot at work and grit my teeth.

And affect/effect but to a lesser extent

Never heard of 'jamp off the wall.'

Can I get a latte?

Sing sung sang
fling flung flang
Surely?

I'll get the... (in restaurant)

Oh, will you indeed? We'll see about that young fellow.

I NEVER confuse 'Alibi' with 'excuse.' Who the f does that?

I think it is common for people to confuse 'chronic' with severe, but it does mean 'long-lasting.'

Some of the other I do get mixed up too though.

And don't get me started on bloody pretentious menus..
It's pan fried

If a waiter ever tells me something is panfried, I have to repeat it while doing jazz hands in time with the pan. Because we should all be grateful when they specify the utensil they use to fry things in.

I actually quite like "jamp" - have never heard it!

Jamp! Haha. This reminds me of my DS who regularly says sprant

In our school if there's been a fight they'd say "he bet him up" as the past of 'to beat'

'Jamp' is pretty standard regional dialect where I live in North Wales. I like the variations in English, it adds to the richness of rhe language.

They didn't include militate/mitigate, which is one of the worst in my opinion. Militate against or mitigate, not 'mitigate against'!

There's a sign on my way to school outside a pub, advertising a charity band night soon.

It's a free event but they're asking for voluntry contributions

I'm answering before I read the article but I really hope less/fewer is in there.

Grr.

No mention of ensure / insure

Given that Radio 4 got it wrong this morning, much to my annoyance, this morning it should definitely be on the list.

Kids at school: I brang it in yesterday.

😳, too bloody busy to read the hole thing now. I shall return.

Disappointed that they missed out reluctant v reticent which is my current annoyance.

You'll love this then. Via a friend's FB (she doesn't mind me sharing the image).
