Anythink. Everythink

[luckylavender]

Is it just me or do people use everythink & anythink instead of everything & anything all the time now? Books, television, news... it really bugs me.

YANBU. Gives me the rage too

I can’t say I have ever noticed it.

I've never seen it written down like that, just the way some people pronounce the words. Bit annoying but I can live with it! I'd be very surprised to see it in writing though (on anything other than facebook that is)

I haven't seen nuffink like that

Only stupid people though, right??

Oh God yes, this is one of my.pet hates. Its definitely getting more common. Even TV presenters say it !

Same here, along with somethink,nothink, could of,and people missing the G off the end of words,and the T in the middle.

people missing the G off the end of words,
Who could be arsed sayin the whole thing? Not me.

I've been reading a lot of novels recently & honestly it's everywhere.

Enid Blyton used dialogue like that to indicate the class of people she was writing about. Anyone speaking like that was the bad guy innit.

The worst one, for me, is "nucular".

Even had a few of our serving Cabinet saying it on TV once or twice. As a general rule, I feel that if you can't actually say "nuclear", you shouldn't really be anywhere near the organisation in charge of it.

Could you give an example of it in a novel? That's awful that it wasn't picked up bu the editing team!

Marginally better than anythin'

Listen it to a podcast where American host ends all ing words as innnnn

What I meant was, I am currently listening....

My in laws don’t even say that. It’s EV FINK. Two syllables.

What novels are you reading?

Omg a thread after my own heart

Americans that say aks instead of ask. Americans that say whenever instead of when. A particular American vlogger comes to mind 'whenever I was 17 I went to prison in the state of Florida' eh?

Also the older I get the use of the words 'like' and 'um' make my skin crawl

100% this

I like it but that's because years ago I had a wonderful friend who used to say those, she wasn't ever aware, but it used to make me smile.

Americans that say whenever instead of when
Must be descended from NI folk

Caribbeans say arks. I know way more people of Caribbean descent than I do Americans and have never heard anyone else use it. 😕

And since the covid thing, everything slightly out of the normal range is 'unprecedented', be it weather, inflation, interest rates, weather (again). Drives me nuts.

@MsFrost - I've having quite a stressful time so I've been immersing myself in easy to read novels that I can get engrossed in without having to work on the plot. So the last 3, Nicci French, Amanda Prowse & Jane Casey. Currently reading a Jodi Piccoult.

What about when people say “hospikul” instead of hospital
