This contribution may seem a little off topic but I hate bad spelling so here is a little poem which highlights some anomalies when running spell checker. Title: Ode to the Spell Checker Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea, It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a quay and type a word And weight for it two say, Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid It wont bee sew furlong, And eye can put the error rite Its rare lea ever wrong. Eye have run this poem threw it I am shore your pleased two no, Its letter perfect awl the weigh My chequer tolled me sew. Anon. Hear,here Rob.

Nial Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Not shooting related, but I can't stand wimmen describing something as 'to die for'. AAAGGGGHHHHH. My kids, my niece and nephews and the wife (and Queen and country) are 'to die for'. What they're describing is usually overpriced 'keeping up with the Jones' kak.

It's just soooooooo not done daahhhling :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 And people who start speaking to you with the word "Listen" "Listen yah, I want to buy some travel insurance for my ski trip to G'staaaad" "**** off" Guaranteed to ensure that I will be doing anything but listening (daaaaahling) :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 These get right up my nose: Caliber Fiber (wad) And any other Americanism for that matter. Just because some ****-for-brains yank decides to rearrange our language and still call it English, doesn't mean we should adopt their risiculous spelling over here!

Ozzy Fudd Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 to this i will just add work, sales targets and the culchie word "yeooough" (accompanied by twisted hand gesture) oh and the next person to say they want 110% commitment will be told i want 110% of my usual pay (can you tell im having a **** day at work??)

colchesterhomebrew Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I hate these words: "I think I might be pregnant"..... (At least I did before I married and settled down - until then they would strike fear into the heart far more quickly than any other combination of words I know, other than perhaps, "Here is your tax assessment for the year ending...")

Nial Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 that always gives me the weak knees and involuntary spasms Is that not what causes the panic in the first place? Conversely "My period's arrived" has to be one of the most welcome sentences a guy can hear. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

955i Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 OK, as there is a thread for it, one of the things that really gets me is referring to foxes as 'Charlie' Do people shooting them really pretend (or believe) that they are in the Vietnam war? If so it's very scary that those people are out there with guns. (ducks to avoid shellfire ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are spot-on with that I just couldn't put it into words. Isn't it ******* irritating It's like they're trying to sing Where did that bollix start? I bet it was Australia. They watch all those Home & Away Neighbours garbage things. Sounds like the kind of thing Australians would do when they're trying to sound all sophisticated and Boho I'm glad it's not just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 You're on the money Chard, it did indeed come from Australia. And it is also incredibly irritating. I find it tends to be used by 20 something "fresh out of uni" types when they are trying to sound like they know what they are talking about or they have a valid point to make in a discussion/argument (which of course they dont, ever.)
