"That really grinds my gears"

[innsaneink]

I think many due to the education system these days are unaware of their errors

Its been a while since I went to school and English was one of my better subjects, well spelling more to the point…though I get lazy on the 'net, the examples Juro posted show it can be fairly complex even for someone fairly able with grammar

I probably wouldve got ''definitely'' wrong too....but yeh, 'his he's' annoys hell outta me

 

[quintus]

If I can understand what they are meaning to say….well....that's good enough for me.

we're getting old! 😕

Another one I am seeing more and more often is people writing 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely'. Is this some sort of autocorrect issue?

 

[TurnStyle]

ha ha.. yeh, i have seen that a lot too. seems like autocorrect.

anyway, as far as rugby league goes, what really grinds my gears is forward passes from dummy half. drives me insane!

Having done the hsc a couple of years ago, I find it very bizarre how teachers are so ignorant of grammar these days. It's all about looking at metaphors, symbolism bla bla but especially toward the end years of school, there is no focus on grammar whatsoever.

I moved to aus when I was 10 from a non English speaking country. I can safely say that my grammar/spelling was better than 95% of classmates back then.

having had kidney stones laser surgery & a stent inserted between left kidney & bladder in march this year.
stent was removed via further surgery about one week later.

for CT scans to reveal that some stones were missed in initial surgery.
remaining kidney stones to still be causing dis-comfort, and after re-attending the specialist being informed that **once again I require the same two operations again in late august.** :unamused:

I wish I had gears to grind them stones in. :wink:

I hate it when people spell the word lose as loose. ''I think the Tigers are going to loose this weekend''. Its become so common place to spell it like that these days that i've even found myself doing it and have had to correct myself.

People who pronounce the word ask as aks (people actually do that)

And anyone who calls Jamie Lyon ''Jamie Lyons'', Jarryd Hayne ''Jarryd Haynes'' and call the Storm the ''Storms''

I feel like jumping through the radio and slapping Mark Geyer every time he says "aks"

Away from the topic of words and grammar for a moment, something that really grinds my gears is water saving shower heads - it's like being piddled on from a great height and it doesn't end up saving me anymore water cause I have to spend so much extra time in the shower running around trying to get the bloody soap off!

you do know that in alot of cases you can remove the water saving washer… its basically a fine tea strainer mesh in a plastic ring. Most can be easily accessed by removing the shower head from the wall and locating it just inside...

I do now, thanks for the tip :wink:

You could just wax all that hair off as well :wink:

People that use the word surreal. I wonder if they'd ever seen a work of art that encompasses surrealism.
People that say Haitch…..Like Sterlo every show!
People that say Pacific instead of specific.
Question marks placed after a statement? I really hate that.
Loose instead of lose which has already been mentioned.
That clown that calls MOOOOOOOOOOOOVE !
When the refs say "we have try." Can't they just speak in a normal tone?
Fletch and Hindy carrying on about Nepal Donkeys.

I really should stop now.

Yes, it's the use of Surreal for me. NFI!

My old man used to call it displaying your ignorance.

I have a mate who deliberately misuses and mispronounces words just to get up peoples noses. It used to drive me nuts till I worked out he was doing it on purpose. He's no slouch being a published author and head of school at a major university. I can see him in some Uni board meeting, dropping clangers and the others thinking; How did this dill get here?
