Houseplant Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 It annoys me too, along with about 10000000 other things like kids with made up names. I thought it was an NZ/Australasian phrase, but obviously the decline of English is worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Written down, I hate to see ‘must of done’ instead of must’ve done (shortened form of ‘must have done’). That’s not laziness, it’s just people who don’t know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 In architecture “schedule” is a frequently used word. Not many people can pronounce it correctly, which does grate upon me. The misuse and abuse of apostrophes also frustrates me, some of the above posts on pedantry... I can only presume these were written in jest. I never use the word “kids” to describe my children or any others, I find it quite a vulgar arrival into our language. Being heavily dyslexic has meant I’ve had to work hard to use even basic written English, I find it disrespectful that other people are so lazy in communication. We all make mistakes and must offer leniency in our judgement of others as we will have inadvertently pushed their button in our own unwitting transgressions.

Dave-G Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I think a large part of in depth schooling that us oldies received has been replaced with easier, wet alternative subjects that children may find more interesting or agreeable. Most of us walked to and from school but these days most are driven to school: creating massively higher traffic flows and parking issues whilst the parents and children don't realise an important missing part of learning is the social development in the walk to and from schools.
