It's probably been mentioned in this thread already, but i've just got to have a moan about the use or misuse of the word 'of'! Today i've read three comments on online news reports where the poster said 'of' instead of have. "They should of sent him down for longer" was one of them. Why do some use of instead of the word have? 🤔

Perhaps they're really saying 'ave?

 

[Tribansman]

'Team GB'. Excruciatingly cringeworthy

 

[slowmotion]

Heroes.

Yes,but they aren't saying it. That's my point.

Wheyre is he i wonder? Oh look, he's over theyre! Translated to Where is he i wonder? Oh look, he's over there!

Why do some put a Y in it?🤔

“This door is alarmed”.

About what?

Auld Lang Syne, when they pronounce it "Zyne" .

 

[Scotty55]

“Pan-fried”. How else do you fry something?

And from my teenage son, “Lit”, “Swag”, “Fam”. Literally no idea (literally).

And people who try to hold hands before they get to “And there‘s a hand, my trusty fierce….”and get miffed when you don’t reciprocate.

Any word that is misused annoys me a lot.
Don't people read what they have written before putting it up on social media, or don't they know any different?
Of instead of have.
Loose instead of lose.
Etc.

Which reminds me, pretentious names for flavours of crisps.
"Wensleydale cheddar and pan fried shallots". What; cheese and onion?

 

[Scotty55]

“Math” for “maths.

”Math(s)” for “arithmetic”.

Draws instead of drawers. "A chest of draws".
Brought instead of bought. "I brought a new bike in the sales".
The above are not applicable to us Scots with our gutteral R's so drawers are drawERS!

Ask your local chip shop.
