This is what happens to the English language when these things go unchecked.Ohhhhh I have always wondered why petrol blue is called this! Never made sense to me and had no idea how it originated! Love learning these little nuggets
As annoying as 'don't @ me'.People who say something on social media (usually a rant without any punctuation or an unsolicited opinion) and write ‘end of’ to finish.
e.g all lives matter end of.
Feeling this on a deep level todayCalories. You always burn disappointingly too few of them during strenuous exercise, and there’s far too many in nice things to eat.
My dad would go mad at us for doing thatPeople who sniff loudly instead of blowing their nose.
This!! Sometimes at work, I go to my car in the office car park & more often than not, someone will get in the car next to me and turn their engine on for whatever reason and sit with it running for an hour. You don’t release how loud it actually is until they turn it offrunning a car engine, if you're idling.
THIS!!!! I had a massive whinge about this to my husband the other day. Its not even just adverts, these songs are crawling all over the radio stations. There's the Dancing in the Moonlight one, an unnecessary cover of Flowers (one of my fave garage tunes) and I've just heard a godawful cover of Let me be your Fantasy. All with the same breathy manic pixie girl type voice. Aaarrghhhhh!!!! Is nothing original these days?!Constant well known songs being covered by breathy plinky plonky female singers on adverts
In the winter, I give my car -and myself- time to warm up before setting off. Also use the time to catch up on texts and sort out my Spotify playlistThis!!

Very controversial. I'm totally the other way round, I grew up with Father Christmas not santaThis is controversial but I cannot stand people calling Santa ‘Father Christmas’. It makes me shudder. It’s Santa Claus ffs
I’ve only ever heard English people say it. I’m in Scotland and we say Santa. I esp hate when father is pronounced ‘favva’Very controversial. I'm totally the other way round, I grew up with Father Christmas not santa
Abso-bloody-lutely. This has been going on for years but just seems to have reached ridiculous new heights (completely with you on the Flowers abomination).THIS!!!!

That's weird because my mum and her family are Scottish and that's where I got it from. But they had been living in England for about 10 years so maybe that changed what they said? But Fatha not favvaI’ve only ever heard English people say it. I’m in Scotland and we say Santa. I esp hate when father is pronounced ‘favva’
