nope
I know I grew up using the word 'like' way too much...
I HATE the way people, even journalist are breaking diphthongs into 2 syllables! "YOU isn't pronounced "Yo-oo"
"School" is one syllable! It is not "schewel"!
I hate when people say "Went missing" and "At my work"!
If I hear "Yaz!" one more fucking time...
Yas bitch...yaaaaaaas!!
Why you I oughtta.....
Having lived overseas for the last 20+ years, I enjoy introducing my friends to American colloquialisms.
An Aussie mate was completely surprised when I asked him to "Flip a Bitch" when we were driving. In return, I found out what "Chuffing up to your bollocks" means.
I'm Australian and I have never heard anyone say "chuffing up to your bollocks".
My pet hates, which are unfortunately prevalent among younger people so they are unlikely to go away:
- Inserting "like" into every other sentence
- Rising inflections at the end of sentences, so every statement sounds like a question
- Overuse of superlatives like "awesome" and "unbelievable" to describe things that are actually commonplace
I know languages evolve, and changes can be good if they make things simpler or clearer. For instance, I don't see any point in fussing about things like split infinitives. However, many modern speech habits seem to go in the opposite direction, making the language less precise.
overuse of words such as 'oligarchy', especially by folks on social media who think that they've just become politically enlightened.
