He’s not his

[LuckyAmy1986]

Anyone else noticed a rise in this?
Eg “love Bradley Cooper his so beautiful”. I hate it. AIBU?

yes that’s correct re bring/take. Towards you whether future or present tense.That doesn’t make charlestonchaplin wrong though.

@envelopeofpubes it does make @charlestonchaplin's example wrong as it is a misinterpretation of bring and take as given in my explanation. It is not a requirement that the person being spoken to is in A&E, you could also ask someone in the same room, 'should I bring her to A&E?'

This misinterpretation perpetuates the that the Irish usage bring and take is wrong when it is correct.

I’ve seen it the other way round too eg, ‘he’s going on he’s bike’. This was from people from the Wigan area and when I heard them speak, they actually do say his as he’s.

The worst one for me is writing, ‘it’s Thomas birthday today’ instead of Thomas’ (that’s not a great example with the name ending in s but John birthday instead of John’s birthday). I think this one stems from tagging people in statuses on FB 🙄.

Also I hate it when people think they’re being soooo clever by using I/ myself instead of plain old me, when it should be me.

Can we just talk about the advise/advice issue? I keep seeing "can you give me some advise?" or similar phrases on here. I can't think of an accent where the difference can't be heard; advice is a hard hissy sound and advise is a Z to most of us...

I can't think of an accent where the difference can't be heard

How about US English where "advise" (like "license" or "practise") is the norm ?

ProfessorSlocombe - What do you mean by 'the norm'? Used for both the noun and the verb? I'm not American but that can't be right (and certainly isn't right for 'practise' - the 'practice' spelling covers both the noun and the verb AFAIK).

And if you mean pronunciation, surely not?

'Also. It really grates when people claim colloquialisms are correct simply because they are traditional in a certain locale. Prime example: the English use of the word ‘sat’ rather than sitting. I’m originally from a part of the world where large swathes of the population say ‘we was’ and ‘youse’, but I’d never defend those abominations. Doesn’t make it correct just because everyone you know says it!'

You're confusing 'correct' and 'standard' (and indeed defining 'standard' pretty narrowly). You may be right about 'we was', but you're certainly not right about 'youse'.

Sank instead of something really grates me 😬

Masterbate. Just write 'wank' if you can't spell.

As for 'I was sat', it has (at least sometimes) a nuance of meaning that's different from 'I was sitting' - an overtone of frustration ('he stood me up and I was sat there on my own all evening').

Brought for bought, really annoying as they do not mean the same thing!!!!!

Might make for an interesting Bring and Buy Sale though.

Been instead of being.
'He is been awkward'

Incest day instead of inset day!🤮 This was in conversation and she kept repeating it, so not a one off error.

The ones that get me are the ones who are selling a 'Citrone Picarso'. It's written on the back of the fucking car! Just go out and look!

Maybe it's an underhand way of telling a buyer it's a bit of a lemon.

Rosebud, you are right: I misread your original post and disagree with your example. To bring someone to A&E is correct when speaking to someone already in A&E. bring refers to take something/someone towards the direction of the person speaking. ‘I will bring her to A&E’ is short for ‘I will bring her with me.’

YANBU OP.

I also struggle when I see ‘bring’ used where the correct word would be ‘take’ (eg., ‘she said she’d bring me to my doctors appointment next week’).

A recent one is the change in the use of ‘chilled’ and ‘chill’. For example; ‘it was a really chill afternoon’. Makes absolutely no sense. None.

I also hate it when, for emphasis, people use too many consonants or vowels at the end of a word: heyyyyy, hottttt or fakeeeeeeee.

Another pet hate is ‘needs done’. ‘Tell your OH that it’s not acceptable. Tell him it needs done’.
Urgh.

I've not been able to read through the whole thread yet, but one which really grates is : "why" instead of whilst -
"we also went to the park why we were out anyway".

Another is "fink" instead of think - "I fink he's got a bug".

"Gawgus" - instead of gorgeous : "aww babe, you look gawgus hum !"

*hun...

@TheCanterburyWhales bravo!

Per say

On route

The incorrect use of literally still annoys me. It seems to be catching.

‘Click’ and ‘clicky’ instead of ‘clique’ or ‘cliquey’.

@Sparklfairy loved all of those!

There is no R in CAN'T!!!
