Apostrophes in plurals.

CountessFrog · 25/05/2020 20:21

I’m with Bertucci.

Cringe.

Hippofrog · 25/05/2020 20:25

There was something in the paper recently where Lidl had put the sign “please use tongues” near to the bakery goods. That disturbed me.

Pinkflipflop85 · 25/05/2020 20:25

I cringe when the apostrophe is used incorrectly.

thefourgp · 25/05/2020 20:28

Snowflake - it’s such a shit criticism I always think less of people who use it

wildcherries · 25/05/2020 20:29

I'm with Bertucci as well.

Sparklingbrook · 25/05/2020 20:30

Isn’t the top one always ‘moist’. Confused

Mrsmorton · 25/05/2020 20:31

Yeah. The apostrophe thing.

SoftBlocks · 25/05/2020 20:33

Incorrect apostrophes and ‘supper’ which I find revolting but not many people seem to agree.

StirlingWork · 25/05/2020 20:43

missmouse101 · 25/05/2020 21:05

Agree with cringing about apostrophes in plurals. Also the use of 'your' when 'you're' is the required version.

nevernotstruggling · 25/05/2020 21:15

Appropriated r rolling in any word

SeigneurLapindeGrantham · 25/05/2020 21:16

Mogul . I hate that word so much and it's often used when Simon Cowell is referred to. It gives me the creeps.

SparklesAllOver · 26/05/2020 07:01

Yummy, makes my blood boil.

CatsOfSummer · 26/05/2020 07:11

Not one word but I hate the phrase ‘the wow factor’ they use a lot on home improvement shows.

steff13 · 26/05/2020 07:19

I agree about the apostrophes. Also the word cringe used such as it is in the OP, and "flash" when one means "flashy."

mrsBtheparker · 26/05/2020 07:20

'So', when used at the start of an answer to a question, it contributes nothing to your reply.
I too hate to see misused apostrophe's, my butcher used to ask me to proof-read all his sign's, its better to leave them out if you cant use them correctly. I will now remove tongue fromcheek.

BelfastNonBlonde · 26/05/2020 07:34

“Tits” makes my toes curl.

I’m currently pregnant and the sheer volume of Mama, Mumma, Bubba, Bubs, Hubby, Hubs etc. flying around is doing my head in.

CountessFrog · 26/05/2020 07:44

I hate the aggressive words and phrases on MN. I especially hate HTH

missmouse101 · 26/05/2020 08:28

Bias. When the writer means biasED.

nevernotstruggling · 26/05/2020 20:41

Gilet. I can't even say it out loud.

What's wrong with 'body warmer' ffs
