Gotten
I'm sure that got is the past tense of got so why lengthen it? Just put it in the right part of the sentence.
Thank you, just wanted to share that. |  |

Tube announcers who obviously cant read. Over the years I've heard announcements such as the ' the next station is Westminister'...no its not, theres only one I in the name. Learn to read you div. I've heard similar for Upminster which also has only one I in the place name. But the biscuit was really taken years ago when I heard an announcer say the words ' Limiter Road' which is one stop along from Ladbroke Grove. Innit. |  | | |

Another Americanism that has taken root is Saying 'Hey' instead of Hello or Hi .Still throws me when one of the Kids comes in from school and says a cheery 'Hey Dad'
I'm like' yeah what ?' |
Worse is 'what's up?' instead of hello. Americans are knobs like that.
How the fk are you meant to answer 'what's up?'
er... 'not much, you?' |  |

Pronouncing Lieutenant as "Loo tenant", instead of as it should be "Left Tenant".
Pronouncing Schedule as "Skedule" instead of as it should be "Shed ule"
My Teacher of 40 years ago, insisting that using the word GOT is bad English and that there is ALWAYS an alternative.
"I've got a Big C**K", should be " I have a big C**K" |  |

So when we were in the playground playing swapsies with football cards, we should've been saying 'have,have, don't have, have' instead of 'got, got, not got, got '........ | | | |

Big one for us Poms over here is how the Aussies say Yoe-gurt (American stylie) instead of a stiff upper lipped Yoghurt.
And then theres Marone instead of Marroon.We hear that loads too because the local rugby league side hear play in Marroon as do Queensland's Origin side and their nickname is the Marones(where it should be Marroons) |  |

Not a word but the use of it.
"Could I get....." as in "Could I get a Big Mac"
Get? Get? |
I was in a work canteen for a meeting a couple of weeks ago and a bloke with a mid Atlantic twang asked the girl serving "Can I get the pasta?" The girl replied "Perhaps..But if you say Please may I have the pasta" you most certainly will. He was baffled. |  | | |

They say Yoe-gurt in Ireland too, so maybe that's where the Aussies get it from.
Not sure if they still do it, but they also used to pronounce Peugeot as Pyoo-Zhow, instead of Purr-Zhow. Always made as laugh as kids when we heard it on the radio. |  | | |

Shouldn't you reply with "pardon" and not "what"  |  |

My poor Co. Cork born Mrs can hardly open her mouth at the dinner table now that our 3 girls are old enough to take the p@ss out of her pronunciations - well at least the ones that they haven't actually picked up for themselves as the result of having a stay at home Irish mum.
Yoe-gurt is a classic one, as is mod-run for modern.
Glad to see that most of my pet hates are also shared amongst the brethren. Text speak really does get goat and I still slay ANYONE I hear say "Are you gonna go Uxbridge?" I should start a campaign to save the word "to". |  |

Master Sheen spent the whole summer holiday saying "Peak!" with a smirk on his face whenever anyone spilled or dropped anything, or when he was insulting his sisters. I'd never heard that before, drove me up the wall after a couple of weeks. | | | |

In Ireland folk pronounce Peugeot as Pewjo. Annoying, as I own one. Portugal is often pronounced Portigal, project, prowject, chimney, chimley and the term youse is not just Scouse, but is used a lot over here too. Horrible. In some parts of Ulster the word Hi is used at the end of some sentences, especially when questioning or making an inquiry. Horrible too, but I'm just being picky.
I absolutely detest the term 'early doors'. |  |

Maybe I am just too old for Radio 1 but when Scott Mills describes someone coming from a certain town/city, he describes it as 'off of' i.e. John Smith off of Stoke on Trent
Hate that! | | | |

I've no problem with regional accents such as scoucers saying 'youse' but a lot of things mentioned on here such as people saying "can I get...." deserve a punch.
As irritating as 'like' is, it's an Americanism that's replaced people saying umm and errr as a way of pausing for thought.
'like' is far more irritating though and has brainwashed a whole generation of people who watch nothing but American TV shows. |  | | |
