"Addicting"

Dr.EM · 19 Mar 2010 at 19:36

All the examples in this thread 'annoy' me I guess, but I know I've made enough mistakes myself when typing so I shan't go on about it!

I hate English people using the term "my bad", or typing tbh after everything.

I've always wondered if "my bad" maybe comes from sarcasm in response to someone typing "your bad" (instead of you're)

I do that tbh my bad sorry

Out of interest, why? And why only English people?

I've started to notice people writing 'passed' instead of 'past'.

Example: "I drove passed them"

Irritating!

I think you mean 'irratative'.

Thread is a fail

Funny thread is addicting.

Maybe it's too late, but that almost makes sense.

It gets my goat when people ask for 'advise'. :mad:

It seems to be a very common on these boards too.

It's one of those horrible American terms like chilax. Just don't like it.Why do we have to copy everything they do?
My bad?? It sounds like something a baby would say because they can't string a proper sentence together.

Squark · 19 Mar 2010 at 22:44

'Gotten'

I hate it, silly lazy Americanisms. Whatever is wrong with 'received', 'attained' or any of the myriad of words that better describe the past tense of 'get'?

Here's another one "could care less"

Not as annoying as the widely inappropriate use of 'their'.

GreatAuk · 19 Mar 2010 at 23:16

First time I've heard anyone use the word 'addicting'... What annoys me most is the 'your' and 'you're' mix up... So annoying!

Yamahahahahaha · 19 Mar 2010 at 23:43

Could care less about addicting lucker!

Really does my head in!

I always perceive addicting as an adverb, and addictive as an adjective.

Never seen that before

Annoying me at the moment is people leaving out the word 'to'.

"I'm going Prague next week"

No you're not, you dullard, you're going TO Prague next week.

Sound like a northern thing to me, presumably evolved from the "going t'shops" kinda thing, but just people are now so lazy they even leave out the " t' ".

Plants vs Zombies = addicting
Alcohol = addictive

Gilly · 22 Mar 2010 at 11:13

I don't play at Addicting Games for this very reason.

bledd · 22 Mar 2010 at 11:16

Too drunk to play them?

Soon people will just say "Shop" and you'll ask "what?" followed by "food" from the other person.
