I Just Brought Something Nice

[Dmack]

I work in an office with people who make up to 100,000 a year who speak to high paying customers and you still hear some of them saying 'were it good' but that's more dialect than stupidity maybe

 

[Mobius 1]

also people who say "am going to the shops, want anythin?" irritating..

 

[Fourstar]

You dont bruy something do you? You buy it! Clunge Face!

So wish you'd actually said that!

Would have solved your bottled up anger problem

 

[ThorpedoUK]

This rates alongside people who don't know how to differentiate between "too" and "to"...

I'd probably let them off as they were polite enough to offer to get me something. However, I hope they are off to Tesco, not Tescos. Don't know why everything has to be plural.

Another truly awful mistake:

People use the word 'why' and then put 'for' at the end.

"Why are you doing that for?"
"Why are you getting angry at my grammar for?"

 

[SexyGreyFox]

You should have put him right.

So lets say you're going to your mate Jim's house. You would say you're "going to Jim" and not "going to Jims"? ................. ?

 

[yhack]

STOP EVERYTHING! Someone spelt something wrong!

 

[imb4tman]

No, I would say I am going to Jim's house.

I am going to a Tesco's store - I am going to Tesco. But not I am going to Tescos.

 

[stockhausen]

... To top it of my pen run out too ...

Enuff said.

 

[Peter_C]

'should have' instead of 'should have' gets me.

As do apostrophe's in the wrong place.

(Intentional)

 

[weescott]

Teh Internets has killed teh Grammar and spellingz.

 

[TheCenturion]

So lets say you're going to your mate Jim's house. You would say you're "going to Jim" and not "going to Jims"? ................. ?

No you'd say 'Jim's'

Why? Because you're not actually going to Jim himself, you're going to his house. 'Going to Jim's' is short for 'Going to Jim's house'. ie: going to the place of Jim.

Just like the French 'Chez moi' it means: 'at my house' , yet do you see the word maison anywhere in the phrase?

 

[Langlest]

the worst of them all is when i hear someone say "i could care less" instead of "i couldnt care less"

 

[ThorpedoUK]

No, I would say I am going to Jim's house.

I am going to a Tesco's store - I am going to Tesco. But not I am going to Tescos.

I wouldn't, I'd say I'm going to Claire's house and she's going to show me heaven...
