'Like'

Why is it always, 'like I went out'?

Either you did or did not.

Plus ANY business speak, my favourite hate of this type is 'pro-active'

I am turning into Victor Meldrew.

I get wound up with the pronunciation of Paphos, Pafos being substituted with Paaarfos, Pathos and other versions.

And another one: "When we first...."

As in "I first met my husband......" for example.

So, how many times have you met your husband?

When two cars crash it is called an "accident" at least 5 times out 10 there is nothing accidental about it , quite often it should be referred to as "rtd" road traffic deliberate.

Not to mention the people who pronounce Savvas' taverna as M-E-L-I-T-Z-I-A.

UK Police have not used the term "accident" in this context for many years. It's now RTC (Road Traffic Collision).

I will confess to my chagrin that I got 7/10 in the quiz ....if you see someone in August in 35deg wearing an apostrophical anorak at midday, it is just me !
