my pet hates atm

"pound" instead of 'pounds'. 'It cost me thirty pound!' Grrrr. my husband does this. I think it sounds so awful.

'hubby'. Just wrong, wrongity wrong on every level. Especially when used without a sense of irony.

there are some awful americanisms around at the moment. 'incentivize'. that kind of thing, ugh!

'uncomfy' is still up there but thank goodness I don't see it used so much nowadays. just toe curlingly twee.

"Never mind". Yes, I DO mind, don't try and make it seem like my problems are minimal. Why not just be honest and say 'I don't care?' ?

    Two of my colleagues say 'led' instead of 'lying', for example, "I was led on the sofa". I want to bludgeon them with a stapler when they say it.

    I also hate 'them' instead of 'those'.

    Sounds like the same sort of conversation we have to be honest. It just drives me mad! ?

    "I was like" when they actually mean "I said".

    "I was like, are we going? And he was like yeah, in a minute. And I was like now. Then he turned around....." A double whammy of irritation.
