Thread Name: BS: I hate it when.........
Subject: RE: BS: I hate it when.........
I hate it when people misuse the English language.
Meaninglesss aditions to sentences: Like - y'know - sort of - like - whatever? (and that bloody question mark at the end of a stament?)
Singular verbs with plural nouns: There's (there is) three biscuits left.
"Hopefully" used to mean "it is to be hoped that" instead of "in a manner full of hope"
Bloody apostrophes where they don't belong and missing ones where they're needed. GRRRR!
But I'm sure there's like lots of sort of people y'know who'll agree with me. Hopefully. Lynne Truss for one.
