That sounds like quite a London / Essex thing?I was sat. Hate this. It's I was sitting.
Where I live a lot of people say "You was there" not "you were there." After 20 years in the area it still grates.
Spot on. I'm in the Towie triangle - Loughton, Chigwell and Woodford.That sounds like quite a London / Essex thing?
When I see that I wonder how they'd spell she's. It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma.His when they mean he's makes me shudder
Totally agree. I work with a girl who uses his incorrectly in lettersWhen I see that I wonder how they'd spell she's. It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
I think that your post could have been improved by changing your opening sentence to 'I've had to stop reading a few posts today because....'I have been reading a few threads today and some of them I've had to stop reading, because I was so irritated by the amount of times people have said 'could of / should of / would of'. I don't know why this bothers me so much, but just wondered if anyone else has any particular grammar pet peeves?! So that we can be old and grumpy together haha!
I've noticed that too an it's driving me crazy. Couldn't resistI try to ignore typos but have a massive issue with a regular poster who thinks thanks that 'an' is and, but that's my particular peeve.
What!! Sentences don’t always make sense without the Oxford comma. It’s neeeededI truly hate the Oxford comma
I like your passion for itWhat!! Sentences don’t always make sense without the Oxford comma. It’s neeeeded
I came on to this thread just to say this.People who say "brought" instead of bought. "He brought me a necklace for Christmas"......no, just no. Stop it.
But you did ‘brung’ something to the partyI came on to this thread just to say this.
It’s infuriating. You didn’t bruy anything so you can’t have brought anything.
What is an Oxford comma? And please don't say "Google is your friend." No he blinking isn't!I truly hate the Oxford comma
A comma after the last item in a sentence e.g.What is an Oxford comma? And please don't say "Google is your friend." No he blinking isn't!
I’ll admit it took me years to know the difference. It was one of the words that I don’t remember being taught the difference between at school, whereas their, your, etc were all hammered in!When people say “I brought this dress from Asda” when they mean they purchased. If you’re bringing it somewhere, it’s brought. If you purchased it, It’s bought.
I’m fairly patient with some of the mistakes as I’m dyslexic so make a few myself but whenever I read that my brain just reads it and I think “you brought the dress to where”… for about two minutes before I’m like ohhhb
