Probley and you have to work out from the context whether they mean probably or properly.

What's the difference between planned and IVF? isn't IVF planned? Surely you don't have IVF by accident.

:rotfl: I know.

I get asked if I planned for the pregnancy, planned for the twins, conceived with or without IVF.

Also, my MIL says "pacifically" :mad::mad::mad:

I also hate the Black Country thing of saying "am" instead of "is/are". "How am you?" is probably the phrase that makes my blood boil.

I know it's odd, but I hate the word 'furniture'. Just gives me the heeby-jeebies. On the other side, I love how the word 'trumpet' sounds...

Also really, really hate it when people say would of, or could of instead of have. Gets me in a right tizz.

My most hated phrase is probably 'staycation'. Firstly, it doesn't work here in the UK, because we go on holiday, not a vacation. Secondly, why can't you just say you're staying at home? And don't get me started on that chap at the BBC, who did a report on people who are now doing the 'away-cation'. What?!

Have just realised I'm a grumpy old g!t, and I'm only 33.

When someone ends a sentence with you know. I noticed that it seems to be a liverpudlian trait.

Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee ....

Fur and ter seem to be creeping in more and more as alternatives for for and to - I even heard Prince William saying fer in a recent interview so not much hope for the rest of us plebs!

I know this is regional but I don't like my dinner being referred to as 'tea'.


Tea is a drink (with jam and bread).
