    Another vote for Train Station - hideous! :mad: It's a railway station!

    "Going Forward", that really sets my teeth on edge, why can't "From now on..." be used instead?

    Oh and anything TOWIE.

    I hate all text talk. I have problems understanding some of the comments one of my friends puts on Facebook, and I think the older the person the worse it is (and I'm 37).
    A common one here, although this may be a regional thing, is the incorrect use of the word 'as' ie 'Joe Bloggs as been to town', 'Mary Jones as a cold.'
  • Oh, this thread appeals to my inner grumpy, old man!

    ..."and then she went" when recounting what somebody said. Why use 'went' instead of 'said'? The two words are only one syllable so it can't be laziness!

    'Inbox me'. When did 'inbox' become a verb?

    Bad spelling of everyday words really irks me, I've seen 'he's' instead of 'his' several times on forums recently...

    Even worse when used to refer to an 8 year old. :(


    I have an even worse one ..... "the wean(s)" :mad: every time I hear the word I think of Wayne Rooney with a dummy in his mouth. Its baby/child/children/son/daughter ..... not wean!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
