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?

Also followed by ‘away’, ‘on’ and ‘over’

Big sign ‘Pick Your Own’ fruit. No I bloody well won’t.
’Wearing’ a handbag.

I use looking glass myself (long ‘a’ as in arse)

People who dont understand when to use 'that' and when to use 'which'. People whonuse 'that' instead of 'who'.

The entire online BBC News site most days. I've often considered starting a thread where we could find and report the many glaring examples of a ccomplete absence of proofreading and editing

I'm assuming that "whonuse" and "ccomplete" are little pieces of cheese to catch pedants with? 🐁🪤

That is very annoying, but some posters seem to double or triple space all their words. They get blocked as it drives me mad reading them.

Yes! They had me worried there that I’d been pronouncing it wrongly all these years. I had to look it up to reassure myself.

I liked 'lone behold' today 😁

What a wonderful subject …

Like … used as a full stop

you know what I mean … I do but I always wish I wouldn’t have started speaking to you.

with no … i actually avoid books that have it in the title. I always think they can do WITHOUT me.

abit … a bit lazy if you can’t separate words

Babes … Honestly I don’t exactly why but when my SIL calls her beloved Babes I want to say very unkind things to her

Yes, I had an inward scream at that!

At the GP … Just pop yourself onto the bed. I am sure that my weight could make a lot of things “ go pop “ if I put a little effort in but there’s a time and a place for everything

I always giggle about giving someone a gift. I am German. The German word Gift ( same pronunciation) means poison. I am gifting gifts to people I feel very strongly about

I have a new one that's making me inwardly shriek, as I keep coming across it lately .

The culprit is 'money poor'. Why do we have to use this? We don't say 'food poor', 'clothes poor', 'car poor' etc. Oh,hang on ~ we probably will soon 🙄

How odd. We do say ‘time poor’, but that’s precisely because it’s not about money.

Those are the same though, aren't they?
Just depends on if you use British or American pronunciation.
I say "paytent" for both.

I hate gifted as a verb. If someone writes it, I ignore the rest of what they say.
Although I have been known to regift things, so I think I need to rethink my whole existence.

'Time poor', 'period poverty' - these phrases are commonly used, and I think 'money poor' is just an evolution of language that goes hand in hand with 'asset rich'.

You could be 'money poor' but 'asset rich, live in a beautiful house in the country, drive a beaten up old Volvo, wear holey cardigans, and a woolly hat in bed to ward off frostbite.

It's also a roundabout way of expressing the well-worn platitudes that 'money isn't everything' or 'you can't buy happiness'.

The distinction between ‘that’ and ‘which’ for restrictive clauses is much less restrictive in U.K. than US English.
I looked it up a couple of days ago after having our US tech writer change a ‘which’ to ‘that’ in something I’d written - not for the first time. Turns out it is considered wrong in US English but is acceptable in British English.
So, you need to not only consider when to use each of these, but also who is using them - correct something that’s meant to be conforming to US English but don’t be unnecessarily pedantic on this point with Brits. It’s a bit like Oxford commas in that regard, I guess.

I spotted 'as apose to' a few days ago.

It's an error that has crept in because people have not been taught grammar and they don't understand how to use the terms.

I remember being drilled for weeks in primary school in Ireland on correct use of 'that' and 'which', but that was back in the days when grammar was considered important.

Another thing that has crept in is the misuse of commas.

Oh… of course we do use ‘cash poor’ vs ‘asset rich’. I think that’s a better distinction - ‘money’ can mean wealth more generally than liquid cash.

'I would be telling her no' instead of 'I would tell her no.'

I see it so often on here and it makes me shudder every time!

If they are, it seems they have accomplished their goal!

That's true - as a comparator, 'cash poor' works better than 'money poor'.

Perhaps in the age of tap to pay and cards, 'money poor' signifies more a lack of walking-around-cash as opposed to wealth tied up in assets.

I pronounce February as it's spelled.
I pronounce Wednesday 'Wensday' and Leicester 'Lester'.

No, it’s not crept in as an error. It could be seen as one of those Fowlerian pieces of excessive pedantry IMO, and the last paragraph of this piece is really a matter of opinion. A ‘which’ may sound wrong to you and to Americans, but sound and be fine for a Brit.
