"worse thing ever"

[NotGeoffVader]

Surely it's "worst"? I have noticed this a lot recently and it really makes me fume. Rather like 'haitch'.

Yes, I think it is "worst". It irritates me even if "worst" is used - unless of course what the person is talking about really is the worst thing ever.

well is it spoken on written? If spoken I doubt the difference could be heard, although that may just be an accent thing.

or written, I meant...

Oh written, Stealth - even seen it on some of the boards here

oh dear
I did drive past a place offering "Tattoo's" the other day - proper professional shop front!

"Worst thing ever" is most likely exaggerating for effect, which is fine in my book.

Have you ever replied, "no, your grammar is the worsT thing ever"?

Tempting, Trills - not yet. But I have been known to stealth-correct signs and notices that contain errors.

:o I read the thread title and purposely came on to correct you. Yes it's 'worst', not 'worse'.
