The english language, what has happened to it "anyways"!

[mamadadawahwah]

If i hear one more person say "anyways" i am going to scream! Its got to the point as soon as i hear someone using this word, i immediately wait to see what the last letter is going to be, a y or an s. "Going is another one. I am gooeeen to the shop. Are you commeeen with me? Arggh

And last but not least, the use of like. This word is riddled in usually younger generation conversations. Like, i was like, you know like, well, it was like this. Double arrgh.

Anyone with any similar bugbears? Oh yeah, my favourite, "at this point in time". WHat DOES THAT MEAN???? At this point in time. Everybody uses this particularly politicians. Do they think that time stops for a point? I dont get it.

my DH says things like "tired I am" or "hungry I am"
how annoying is that!!
even worse...I've started saying it too {blush}

MrsM, are you married to Yoda?

Is this the pedants clique?

me ex's mother says 'sangles' instead of sandles and 'hangles' instead of handles. I've heard lots of people say it up here and it really really irritates me. She also calls a magazine a 'book' NO IT BLOODY ISN'T!!!!!!!!!!!.

lend instead of borrow [shudder]

bockle for bottle
mankelpiece for mantlepiece

I HATE bockle too jools!

And lickle. I think its a Liverpool thing?

I'm sure its been said already but pacific instead of specific-or is that ignorance?

Or just bad teaching?
