    Not sure if this one has been added....

    "Brand New Baby" & "New Baby" cards

    I do find myself being very annoying when someone says "At the end of the day" because I will always add "it is night.."

    I hate being asked for my address and then then hearing the word "Fantastic". I am waiting to the next time this is said when I will ask if it is my address that is fantastic, or the fact that at 60 I can still remember it.

    Being called "Babe" by the female team leaders at work. They all do it. The male team leaders seem quite capable of using your given name!

    This "Smilie" :mad: being used inappropriately on MSE and very probably other forums (but I don't have enough time to look elsewhere!)

    Thou being used when they mean though. Oddly enough, I will accept tho'

    Your and You're being misused

    Two, too and to

    Ur and U - I detest these.

    Can I get me a coffee (in a cafe) No, the person serving you will do that. Your role is to request, and pay for the drink.


    what about could of and should of instead of could have and should have
