Nothing actually wrong with these but..........

[butterpuffed]

............. I hate them!

Having the ick

You do you .

Being the boss of you/him/her

Are there any that you feel strongly about?

I am irrationally irritated by "minimizing" verbs/phrases like

Jump on a call
Pop it in the oven
A lick of paint
Hop on the bus

Stop making things insignificant!

I'm pretty sure. Generally meaning I have no reason whatsoever for my belief but I'll defend it to the death.

It's tricky sometimes to get the balance between showing some fidelity to the original language and being heinously pretentious. Having studied some Italian I do cringe at "one panini". And the American pronunciation of "croissant" is an abomination.

Please delete if not aloud is worse (although I appreciate the title of the thread is "Nothing actually wrong with these...").

I thought that was how everyone pronounced it?! Is it meant to be 'brew-skett-ah'?
It's bloody horrible anyway..soggy tomatoes on toast?! Bleughh! 🤣

'On its knees'. Usually preceded by 'The NHS is' but occasionally by 'The UK is'.

I would venture to suggest that the phrase 'on its knees' is on its knees. Small consolation is that mostly it's grammatically correct. I think I'd have conniptions if it was (were?) 'on it's knees'.

And, tentatively because it concerns a sensitive subject- 'passed'. My preference is 'died', but I can accept 'passed away'. 'Passed' is too ambiguous.

Being ‘gifted’ or ‘tasked’ to do anything. Using ‘utilise’ rather than ‘use’, or ‘purchase’ rather than ‘buy’.
But, as ever, the worst is ‘journey’, unless travel is involved.

The use of ‘of course’ in a comment assuming we know why.

It's brewsketta - in Italian ch is a hard k sound when followed by e or i 😊

I have managed to reconcile the "panini" thing in my mind on the basis that the English translation of "panino" is "panini". So in English it's one panini, two paninis.

Particularly when it pronounced 'mute'.

Has anyone mentioned 'use your words' yet? 😡

And 'popping' anywhere. As in "I'm just popping to the shops" 😡😡

I asked for a bottle of Cerruti scent (pronounced correctly) in a department store only to be smilingly corrected by heavily made up assistant with the wrong pronunciation..

I always think of Joey with his moo point
“it’s all moo”

YY to 'gifted' in the 'I was gifted this' or, even worse, re Christmas 'the season for gifting'.

Where the hell is the verb 'to give' when you want it waving a placard?

When people end a question with no?
‘but you told her to stop talking, no?’

The (apparently) correct pronunciation of Hermes left me reeling.

Only 5 sleeps until . . .

I'm old enough to understand the meaning of the word 'days'.

The use of 'workshop' if it doesn't refer to a place (it's not a verb FFS) where you use tools to make things.

Referring to a child as ‘ little man’. Stop it!

’You’ve got this’ - stop it!

Saying ‘please and thank you’ in the same sentence. “Has anyone got a new 3 piece sofa there (sic) giving away. Please and thank you 🙏’. Also, asking for delivery on the free sofa!

I feel I should be irritated by the expression “I’ll swing by”, but as it’s used by my son, I’ll let it go.

“I love you to the moon and back”.

It means nothing, and, relatively speaking, the moon isn’t even that far away. Love me to Eris and back or STFU.

The reckless eradication of “to be” with the effect that sentences no longer make sense, e.g. “that needs binned” 😬

Thank you! 😄

Well @butterpuffed I hate the over-excitable use of too many points in an ellipsis so…

Sorry couldn’t resist and being as it’s Pedants’ Corner I thought it might be allowed! 😬
