When did "use" become used as a substitute for "both of you" or just plain "you"?
Even if it were a word, surely it would be "yous" not "use"
We see this a lot up here in the north, however our southern friends don't seem to be as retarded.
Does anybody else get annoyed with this pathetic abuse of the English language? |

Its used a lot here, both in speech and written.
I think I have a little OCD because I costantly have to stop myself correcting spelling or grammer rather than just reading a conversation in here.

I (Mr) must confess to being a serious grammar nazi! It really frustrates me. The difference between their, there and they're was taught in primary school, so how on earth can people over 18 get it so drastically wrong? It's sad that people over 18 are not educated to the standard of an 11 year old. |

Oh wait until the next "immigration" thread. You'll either be apoplectic with rage or rolling on the floor in fits of laughter at the righteous indignation displayed by those who "fink fourainers shud hve 2 spk ver kweens inglish befour cumming ear!"  |

Speaking it and writing it are two very different things. Many successful and intelligent people are dyslexic. (why did the powers that be choose a word notoriously difficult to spell to describe a condition whereby it's sufferers have problems spelling words?) |

I recognise that. Nevertheless, it amuses the hell out of me trying to decipher the rants. As for dyslexia? Oh please, an easy excuse, right up there with I'm fat because of my thyroid. |

As I have stated on previous threads, I don't mind folks who can't spell correctly, it matters little to me, but as long as you are profeshnul you'll do for me.

It annoys me when I hear terms like 'grammar police' bandied about. Just because people like English, their mother tongue in most cases on here, to be used fairly correctly does not make them 'grammar police' or pedantic, etc.
English is a beautiful and expressive language. I despair, often, of the inability of some (a minority) who simply do not appreciate it. I have met many people for whom English is a second, third or even fourth language who can speak and write it better than we natives.
Take pride in your mother tongue - it is part of your fine culture. |
