Minor irritations

What things annoy you a little, or even a lot?

 

I'll start with .................

 

I don't get the point of those video film clips that are divided into 3 with only the central part in focus and the two outer thirds are blurred.

 

What's the point of it?  Is it supposed to make the action clearer?  It definitely doesn't do it for me, it confuses things IMO and makes it harder to watch. unamused

I did. That's a poor to-do if you've had something removed without explanation. Have a moan at Sarah or Ilona?

I gave up trying to correct other peoples' speech long ago. Would of, could of, should of still grate when I hear them or see them written but is it really so bad? They have only come about through contractions in everyday speech. We rarely say would have, we generally say would've and initially the confusion must have come from the fact that would of is actually pronounced would ov. So in general I've let that one go.

 

Now abberant apostrophes...............unamused

Oh yes, I hate could of, would of, should of too, and half of my friends say it but I bite my lip.

 

While we are on speech ....................... nuclear

 

Nuke-lee-aar,   Not nuke-you-lah. 

 

So many people say nucular, even those who should know better - some newsreaders, and I think it was George Bush or Reagan, or maybe both who couldn't say the proper word.

 

Wonder what Trump says? ..... probably 'bigly nucular war if I get to push my bigger red button' !  scream

Not sure about Reagan, but definitely George W, I think Carter, and no surprise Sarah Palin

😂😂..Yes, I have noticed that Al, and it is irritating. But with TV presenters these days, if your ethnicity is right, it doesn't matter if you can't pronounce words correctly.

Susie, regarding parking.

 

Back in the 70s, my then inlaws lived very near a football ground, and supporters would park anywhere they could find.

 

This chap next door, when his son went out on football day, would sit in a deckchair and read in the space left by his sons car.
