Chard Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've just had some airhead slob trying to correct my grammar. God that ****** me off. I don't care what grammar the uneducated use, as long as they don't try and correct me on mine I booked the Panzerkampfwagen in for a service and I was asked for the registration number. "Yes, it's ---- HLD" (aitch el dee) "---- ALD" she says. "No, HLD" says I (aitch el dee) "ALD" she says "No - HLD" I said, a lot louder (aitch el dee) "Oh - you mean haitch el dee" she twitters, laughing at my stupidity. "No - I mean aitch el dee" God give me strength. Should have said Hotel Lima Delta. Only then she'd have said "ay?" Or is that "hay?" :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody gets me going too, but the PC brigade seem to think it's ok to coc£ up the language as well as the country it's not corrected in school at home etc so what chance have we? I concidered grumpy and rude when I correct others. Wot evr dude cul8r m8 Only then she'd have said "ay?" Or is that "hay?" :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I agree with Ozzy and just use the phonetic alphabet.I used to be in the motor trade years back and when a punter rang up for a number plate it was easier to say 'alpha bravo charlie' etc cos it lessens the risk of a mistake happening.Not 100% guaranteed though cos some people are just too thick for words.
