To hate people using ‘me’ instead of’my’

[soallannoyed]

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

Saying mi/ me is dialect

Saying would of/could of or brought/bought in grammar

@Caramellolly he definitely had a way with words! 😂😂

Or if yer in Yarkshire "Al do it mi'sen 😅😅

I was going to say that!

😂😂

Or ‘Tha can do it thi’sen’

It's 'myself' that winds me up. E.g. "Please email myself". Myself should only be used for emphasis e.g "I, myself, believe..." and even then only sparingly.

'Me' in the context you don't like it is, like others have said, a dialect.

Similarly I hate it when people pronounce days of the week like 'Tuesdee' 'Sundee' etc. Seems to be an older generation thing rather than a dialect thing but not too sure. Really annoying though.

I love dialects. Words and dialects and language in general are fascinating.

My husband's from Hull but hasn't lived there since he was a child. That is the only thing he still says with a Hull accent

Aye, tha can that!!! 🤣🥰

Oh well you would hate where I live, Tuesday is pronounced ",Toozdi" 🤣🤣🤣

I love dialect in speech, it's what makes the language so interesting. Regional words, turns of phrases - it's all part of the richness.

I prefer correct gammar in written English, but there's no point being a cow about it. As long as the meaning is clear, it's still effective communication.

In Liverpool most people say 'I seen/I done' .

It's 'Al do it mi sen' where I'm from!

Actually saying "could of" or "would of" is NOT grammar, it's pronunciation, too!
The unaccentated form of "have" is pronounced the same as the unaccentuated form of "of": [əv].
The trouble starts when (far too many) people think they should write "could of" rather than "could have".

Too many people wrongly use myself instead of me, and don't get me started on me and I.
The rule is dead simple: if you would say "me" if you were the only person in the sentence you still say me, even if you add someone else: if you would say I, then you should say "........ and I".
He have the cakes to me.
She gave the cakes to Susan and me.
I saw Susan in the park.
Kate and I saw Susan in the park.

Mi, on the other hand, is just pronunciation and nothing to worry about, providing the person being spoken to gets the message.

Oh good grief. I really really hate this.

Yeah it's part of our local accent. Sorry we annoy you.
We also say tret instead of treated.

We also go to the Big Tesco's and The Asda. However, we go to Aldi, Lidl and Morrisons (not posh enough to have a Sainsbury's, Waitrose or Booths without going for a day out).

My DH is a Southerner and he normally says "my," but sometime in the last few years he has taken to saying "me glasses" but not "me" anything else. He doesn't know he's doing it. I assume he hears it a lot from someone, maybe at work, as it just doesn't make sense to me that he'd say something that (a) isn't consistent with his accent and regional word choices and (b) he hasn't always said. It bugs me, although "me" for "my" in itself doesn't usually bug me at all.

They'd die if they spent an hour listening to our Barnsley fuelled conversation!

It's just us accent 'n' all that int it an I love it anorl

Good. Hilarious to note, given my deletion, that Distinguished Commentators are also, apparently, ‘Snowflakes’. Lol.

Doesn't annoy me as much as people who say 'haitch' instead of 'aitch'. Or skelington for skeleton.

YANBU - it's not cute or a lovely play on English to say it.

Saying that it comes across as far less stupid and uneducated as these idiots who say 'we was'.

Ghastly. How dare they!

It's just a form of dialect, so it's not worth getting bothered by. What bugs me is 'I would of', especially with 'I would of went' ugh! Also the misuse of past participles to be pedantic. X
