Now THAT'S ironing!![]()
Well, I think this thread is dumb and dusted.
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.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
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."![]()
Their can be no doubt in my opinion that this thread should of been started earlier but fare play to all concerned for highlighting there annoyances.
Gustavo, I guess you're post will be in vein.
That's a pigment of your imagination.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Lads enough talk, be quite now!![]()
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Yep, fair Jews to one and all!
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
This thread is a big turnip for the books!
