I know I’m being unreasonable but it’s bloody annoying.

I do this, me mum, me dad 😁

MsLuxLisbon · 06/06/2024 17:55

It is inexcusable in written English. In spoken, it's not quite so bad as some dialects use 'me' rather than 'my'.

Hotnamehere · 06/06/2024 17:56

I don't get annoyed by different dialects. I quite like them.

YANBU, it gets right on me tits.

Sometimes you just need to. Kiss me arse just sounds better 😂

bryceQ · 06/06/2024 18:01

It's common in my home dialect. I don't say it, but it doesn't bother me.

GeckoFeet · 06/06/2024 18:02

Definitely not as bad as could of and would of

Cantrushart · 06/06/2024 18:03

Worse than myself?

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 06/06/2024 18:03

I'm glad I don't live in that kind of area or personally know people like that

It makes me cringe when I hear that rant!!!

Soboredofdiettalk · 06/06/2024 18:04

Ma mammy, me da etc... not unusual where I grew up in Ireland. I actually think this is a dialect thing and not an error like "could of" or "I went pub last night"

MiriamMay · 06/06/2024 18:05

What you’re basically saying is that you hate some regional dialects.

There are more annoying things than ‘me’ instead of ‘my’ to be fair

When @DistinguishedSocialCommentator agrees with you, you know you're on the wrong team.

Sorry but YABU, people say that because of regional accents...do you want to go back to the days of only allowing Received Pronunciation on the BBC too? Hmm
