Greek, not Latin. You should know all Latin infinitives end in -re. ;)

One that really bugs me, though it's a mispronunciation, rather than using the wrong word, is people who say tremendjus. Let me say this for the benefit of such people .. there.is.no.****ing.J in.tremendous. Got it ? Grrrr.

Oh, and one for our northern contributors please. Why do you use "whenever" instead of the correct word, "When" e.g "whenever I had my dinner yesterday" How many times did you have your dinnner ? Very annoying.

Northerners do have their own quare dialect. Not sure, being from Kerry (mind you the first thing Lim till i die said to me when he met me was that I was very well spoken for a Kerryman!) that I'm in a position to complain though.

But anyway, a Donegal friend of mine used to always say 'but' at the end of a sentence when I would use 'though'. Like, 'Tim, are you going to the shop?' 'Aye, it's raining but.' Used to really annoy me, I think usage has abated recently but.

In general Irish people's pronunciation is pretty poor I think, but it adds variety so I try not to get too caught up in any nerdishness. (but over emphasising the -ise at the end of words such as compromise, or emphasise itself, is one I can't go left unsaid though, a little beat noire of mine) Likewise, jumbling metaphors should be embraced. One fine example came from An Seanad in 1961 when it was said that parent-teacher committees might prove to be "the thin edge of the wedge which opens the floodgates and torpedoes the whole system of education." :D

I'm pretty sure this was deliberate but it's a fine example from the thread on Padraig Harrington :)
