Seriously though, couldn't agree more. I've noticed it a lot more recently for some reason.

There are some ads, especially on the radio, that annoy me so much I change the station. One at the moment is where the lady thinks that there must have been a misprint on the posters advertising a brand new Golf for €16,000.
Also, spending that kind of money on a car. Fair enough, maybe, if you're a car fanatic or loaded.
I like to think of negative meanings of ads. That one's a good example. I interpret her incredulity as being at an excessive price. Now, subconsciously, I think Golfs are overpriced. Eat **** and die, marketers.Quote:

That never occurred to me actually. I think they're overpriced anyway though, consciously and subconsciously.Quote:

When people say 'ye' when referring to only 1 person. I notice a lot of Derry fans do it so maybe it's a Northern thing.
When people say 'ye' in general
Better than 'yiz' like the Dubs do or 'yous' like Donegal ;).Quote:

Its pronounced differently in Dublin (but spelt the same).
