No messages from EBay CeeDee...why do you think I should have had one?

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...............

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' ! 

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

And another one...practically everyone being interviewed on TV these days begins their sentences with 'So......'. Really annoying.

More annoying words, who use seem to be on rise

Have you seen/heard how many people begin their answer to a question with "Absolutely"?

Absolutely

😂😂..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. 

How many people pronounce the first r in February? Most say Febuary, I've even heard Febury. That's just lazy.

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.

Makes a change from traffic cones

TV chefs who taste what they're cooking then put the spoon back in the pan after it being in their mouths, yuk.
