To hate the word ta

Always pronounced with that aaaahhhh a

(instead of thank you that is)

Drives me nuts, especially when after a child is used to it the mum insists on them saying thank you and correcting them each time!

There are many words a child won't be able to say or pronounce at a young age but we just wait don't we

YABU.

Would you like a six month old to say 'thank you very extraordinarily much?'

And manners start young. Ta is fine.

doesn't bother me

I don't think it really matters and I'm sure there are plenty of words everyone says that others would find annoying. Live and let live.

Christ, Otter. What the hell is vile about it????

NotanOtter · 15/05/2007 22:21

Hasn't this been done?

glassslipper · 15/05/2007 22:22

I dont like it. I preferred my DD to say thank you. It took an extra 6 months to learn and say it but fine by me.

I hate it too.... Especially hated if when DD could say thank you (or something similar) yet nursery staff still said say Ta to her.. (thank fully DD only went 1 morning a week)...

Definately a pet hate of mine (I don't have many honestly)

Just as easy to teach them thankyou or thanks...
