My missus says to me last night," how many ROUNDS of bread would you like with your fish.
My mother used rounds to describe what are simply slices of bread.
Should have said,
"Do you want petit pains with your turbot, darling"
Or should it be pain
Over to you wise Owl

An apostrophe should be used and of course the old His Master's Voice records and related products always had the apostrophe because a) it is supposed to be there and b) people were not ignorant of that fact in those days. |  | | |

Incorrect spelling and grammar have always irritated me especially the 'of' error as someone else pointed out (makes you wonder why I use this forum!) but more recently, words made up by welding two half-words together, are getting increasingly under my skin. Brexit is one of them but dog breeds really get my goat because the 'new' words invariably sound stupid and Cockapoo is by far the stupidest. | | | |

I totally agree with you. Everybody seems to be doing it. Up until about 2 years ago people used to often start their reply with "Well...", now almost invariably they say "So...". I don't know why it drives me mad, but it does.
Also, every TV broadcaster nowadays think that they must include the word "extraordinary" in nearly every sentence. That drives me mad too. [Post edited 10 Oct 2016 14:59]
