"Hun
Bbz
Gawjus
Missing vowels from words
I have a huge list"
I second this. Hate shorthand and text speak. Auto delete messages with this.
I can look past spelling mistakes but this makes me cringe physically when I see it.
And its worse in Scottish.
Ano instead of I know. Cringe like I said |

"People complaining about text speak. I prefer grammatical English, but language evolves, forsooth  "
I had to google forsooth.. I love seeing words that are new to me.
I'll try and fit it into a sentence tomorrow  |

 its awful isn't it. I try not to notice but I just can't help it. I start to itch when someone tells me to "fuck of" too "
When I was all full of lockdown enthusiasm, at the beginning, I joined a million Mrs Hinch and furniture upcyclying groups and I had to leave them as it bothered me so much! |

My granny and mum grew up in terraced houses and apparently the little room under the stairs was always the glory hole. It always makes me laugh when my mum asks me to get her something out the glory hole. Cracks me up bless her..... lol |

Yea I forgot the necessity of it to be a quote
But the true and accurate bit isn’t a requisite lol
It’s when you directly quote something which contains a mis-spelling  |

"'pacific' instead of 'specific'
How large does something have to be before people can tell the difference? (perhaps not the right question on Fab...)  "
I used the word specific in conversation and had a young lady “correct” me and told me it was “pacific”. I just smiled and told her that I’ll try harder to get it right in future. |

No, thats my job, you tell me what you want, I get it. That's the way it works.

Good on you. Pedantry aside it's almost painful when someone states with such self-assurance and you know they are wrong. On a par with do you mention someones flies are undone as they proudly finish their presentation. |

If I were to go through everything that annoys me, I'd still be here when people are looking back at 2020 with rose tinted glasses!
Presently, my biggest bug bare is the creation of the word 'yous' "would yous be interested in a meet?" Argh!! |

As far as I know, 'French Knickers' are a style not a protected area item. French knickers can be made anywhere and be totally acceptable as French knickers or frenchies, unlike things like Champagne which must actually come from that region in France. You can eat cheddar cheese that comes from other areas than cheddar, so it's ok to be pedantic but get your pedant correct. Suppose that's me being pedantic |

I agree with previous posts regarding the use of pacific instead of specific.
When people use on route instead of en route.
And being called hun is the worst, the only person who gets away with it is my mother. |

That’s a standard way of saying you plural in the colloquial sense where I come from so it’s not seen as wrong due to mass usage |

The MILF appreciation thread today seems to indicate that you no longer understand or adhere to the true definition and understanding of what a MILF is!
With that in mind, can I ask if Hot Wife also no longer has a true definition?
The reason I ask is someone local to me claims she wants a Hot Wife dynamic but actually is on here without her husband knowing!  |

"Coffee... in a glass!!
And don’t get me started on the use of vegetables in cake. (Carrot is an exemption to the rule... not an encouragement people) "
The vegetable is in the mix as a moisture giver, it never imparts taste. I hate beetroot with a passion but am happy to eat so called beetroot cake |

"I want to scream when someone uses draw instead of drawer."
I know this is a thread about pedantry, but I may be about to take it too far - anyway, my understanding is that the word 'drawer' actually comes from the verb draw, from its 'pull' meaning. The original idea of the word was that it was a container that was 'drawn' out of a cabinet, so it's possible that people who use it in that way are not wrong, they're simply cunning linguists! |

I really couldn’t care less if I can hold a good conversation, if not I don’t chat to them. However if a pedant wants to get pedantic with me, then the gloves come off. |

I'm pretty certain that you're right, but I know that 'pull' can be used as a verb, to describe the act of pulling an object, but that you can also buy something called a door pull, which is essentially a handle, so it's just about possible that by the same logic, someone could refer to a drawer as a draw.
However, a thread on a swinging website is probably not the place to resolve this! |
