I have to admit that I find the Americanism "my bad" irritating.
Yep, that's the only one I find annoying too.
Oh, and 'that smarts', because it makes no sense!

Agreed and you certainly wouldn't want to be doing that in certain pubs in Glasgow.Beverley Knight might have something to say about this one.
Anyway do people really get anything out of correcting grammar on and internet forum? It's such a waste of time and detracts from whatever the discussion is.
You wouldn't go down the pub and start correcting people on their grammar, or people at work. If you did you would look like a complete tool and be judged worse than the person you were correcting.
It does matter though, and if you struggle with it, learn to improve it.

Why not word's

Just get autocorrects set up on the forum?![]()
I really don't see why such trivial things would have/could have/would have/could have bothered someone so much.
Because it's said when something hurts. 'Smart' is not interchangeable with 'hurt'.Why doesn't it make sense?

Actually I just checked the dictionary and apparently I'm wrong and smart is a synonym of hurt. When did that happen. An Americanism I guess?
Just pay attention in class?![]()
So you should also be able to do the same level of maths now as you did when studying it in school? Or be able to explain in detail the process of photosynthesis?
Not necessarily... I do very little maths on a day to day basis and have nothing to do with photosynthesis anymore so my abilities with either would be far from acceptable in a mathematic of biological situation but I do use the English language all day everyday.
Spoken not written and certainly not queens English. Lots of colloquialisms and oddities in regional language.
