Dont know if its been mentioned before but 'bear with' really irritates me! I was in a training session before lockdown and the trainer kept on saying it. I wanted to scream everytime she said it! Bear with me is okay but bear with, aaargh!

Has anyone noticed some normal words becoming used a lot more lately? Three I’ve noticed are people saying ‘ambience’ instead of atmosphere and surroundings a lot more now, especially food bloggers. Also ‘aesthetic’ used in the wrong context where it should be aesthetically pleasing- these instagrammers are saying ‘this cafe is so aesthetic’. Finally is ‘craving’- now I usually only saw craving in the context of pregnancy and PMS but now even men crave and it’s not even a craving for anything wacky, could simply be ‘I’m craving water’🤮
I've seen aesthetic being used in the wrong context on Instagram a few times now. Makes me chuckle, how they try to sound educated 🤣

Bare tit is one I hoped both my sons would grow out of saying but no, it's still going strong years later. I seem to have bought up a pair of chavs 🤣

People calling babies/children little man/woman

People saying 'should of' instead of 'should have'

Unnecessary shortening or words like deets instead of details or fit instead of outfit
People on social media who get “his” and “he’s“ mixed up. Oh this irritates me immensely. 😩 As most of us know, HE’S is short for “he is” so when they type their bastardised versions, it makes them look even more stupid. 😉

Example: “Dr Smith is a fantastic Doctor, HIS so good with patients. HE’S qualifications are second to none.” 😱🙄

Crimes against the English language. 😱 Please go back to school if you cannot differentiate between the two! 🤣😱

the wrong use of apostrophes generally is insane, wtf do people learn in school?? some people seem to just use them for anything with an s?! for example "on Sunday's I like to..." my grandparents who left school at about 14 had a better grasp of grammar than this

I was always taught apostrophes used in this way was a lazy, but acceptable, form of writing. The odd one here and there is acceptable, if the rest of the sentence is clearly constructed. However, many people who write in the example I have shown, would not be able to tell the difference. 😉

“It’s my birthday month.”

No, you get one day like the rest of us you spoiled brat, piss off!
The only socially acceptable time to use "birthday month" is when you're checking which picture you get for yours on a calendar 😅
