    A pet hate of mine is children being called kids. A kid is a small goat.

    Words can have more than one meaning y'know. Nothing wrong with children being called kids (unless you're time travelling from Victorian England). My friend annoyed me by pulling me up on this. I said to her I don't presume things are covered in urine when she refers to things as 'wee'. Live and let live. Lots of things I don't like, but why should my opinion count more than another person's on a forum? So I only correct people if they're factually wrong. Not because they use a term I hate. That would just be rude.

    Since at least the 1830's a 'kid' was another word for a child (see Oliver Twist). Some words have two meanings

    A pet hate of mine is people who do not know how to use a dictionary.

    25k price drop seems to have sold this one, unless it comes back on, not worth 210k IMO, but 5k and 10k seems to be the usual price cut in that range at the moment.
