Stripped and dinning.

[Seymour5]

It's not a stripped shirt FGS, it's a striped shirt. It's not a dinning table either, it's a dining table.

It's standard English.

Fumming is another one although I quite like it! In my mind fumming could be a different kind of rage to fuming. A lower level, less explosive but longer lasting grudge or resentment. 😆

They would never sound the same but I’ve noticed regionally some people use brought. They just have the word wrong there and it’s become ingrained, then starts to spread to other areas. 😅

"Alot" and "abit" are everywhere now, even my clever cousin uses them ad infinitum in text messages.

I saw a "per say" on MN yesterday. No, I didn't point it out. Poster seemed pleasant, maybe if it had been one of the nasty ones....

I nearly typed tome a few minutes ago, and it's because I don't always tap the keys properly, so I can see why too for to, loose, alot and abit happen.
They are too common and I think one gets so used to seeing them that they no longer look incorrect.

Per say is common. I think that like ect it's because the perpetrator hasn't really considered what they are saying.

Actually, medicine should be pronounced ' med-sun' not 'med-i-sin'. You won't find any doctor pronouncing it incorrectly. (Doctor's daughter here!)

Me too.

And is likely why DH and I couldn’t get a 1% club question yesterday, apparently in other accents llama rhymes with Starmer 🤯 (there were photos of a deer and a llama and this was meant to be rhyming for Keir Starmer…)

That's quite an assertion.

I find vegetables said as veggie-tubbuls weird.
Why do people say masseuse as massooze?

Vinegar-ette for vinaigrette, aytrim for atrium...

Not in Hiberno English it's not. There are many variants of English. British English is only one of them.

Really?

Original and best!
Clue's in the name- English!

I disagree on that...

Well, I'll be happy for you to correct my Irish Gaelic.

I'll start by telling you that the language is just called Irish.

And if you do decide to learn to speak Hiberno English, which to my mind, is a much more poetic dialect that English English, I'm happy to help😁

Thanks.
I'll stick with my mother tongue. 😀

The original was exported at various times though, to America, Ireland etc.
Then the language evolved differently in different places. Unfortunately, some people in MN pour scorn on terms that are simply older forms of English that have survived mainly outside the UK.
Gotten is an example that springs to mind. Shakespeare used the term diaper (to mean a particular type of cloth rather than a nappy).

Agree with @BeanNaGealai that there is more than one form of standard English. Even within GB alone there is Scottish Standard English (SSE) to consider.

Speaking of the 1% club, I was totally flummoxed by a question which asked, "Which 3 letter word sounds the same as its last letter?"

The answer was "Why". It works if you've an accent where you'd say "Wye" but I'd say "Why" so I'd have been out.

As will I😁

What is the 1% club? It sounds interesting.

My mil says texes. Makes me shudder every time

Yes! Last night on ITV2 before love island. It wasn’t even the 1% question and we were both incredibly confused trying to rhyme things with llama or even alpaca 😂

@BeanNaGealai The 1% Club is hosted by Lee Mack. Each round some contestants are eliminated until the final question which I think only 1% of people would get right. I can't do those type of questions as they're usually quite tenuous and my brain doesn't work that way.

I find it really irritating as ages is spent going over why each answer is incorrect so the whole programme could be done in a much shorter time. I have no patience!

Thank you. So presumably on one of the UK channels. Other than the Channel 4 player, we don’t get them.

I think it's ITV

Thanks. I'll have a look. It might be available on one of the platforms here. It sounds interesting.
