    Some of my pet hates are "Change out",and "Called me up"

    I think these come from the younger generation watching too many American TV shows.

    Those sayings definitely were not around years ago.

    Have you thought that geezers our age might have missed them as the world races by to nowhere in particular?

    Yep - could of, would of, should of learned basic spelling and grammar.

    And the one that I see more than once every day - "defiantly" where they really mean "definitely".

    Some people (often on facebook) try so hard to use big words that they just don't realize how bloody stupid they are coming across as.
    Cheers .........

    Yes Ron, that one really ****es me off no end.

    I wonder how far they can "reach out" before they fall off their chair?
