HighPeakFox Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 As suggested by the fine @murphy, a place to let off steam about inaccurate nonsense without getting called a Nazi. @Gerbold, our new home from home... Pacific / specific. FFS!
Voll Blau Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 "Fake News". The orange cvnt's constant misuse of that term is the fvcking scourge of our times.

Voll Blau Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 Oh yeah, people saying "slander" when they mean "libel" in relation to stuff written on the internet.

David Guiza Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 So many but those that spring to mind are:- 'Straight the way' People misusing the word literally. Also, one that is acceptable but still bothers me is when people spell 'swap' as 'swop'.
HighPeakFox Posted 22 June 2018 Author Posted 22 June 2018 Linguistic assumptions, such as 'we all know that etc etc etc' - bloody Lawrenson did it the other night. No we fooking don't, speak for yourself only and don't assume we all MUST agree with you.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 Reminds me of that episode of Dave Gorman's Modern Life Is Good-ish where he was taking the piss out of people who thought 'a scapegoat' was 'an escape goat', and 'dog eat dog world' was 'doggy dog world'.

No we fooking don't, speak for yourself only and don't assume we all MUST agree with you. Related to this, dressing up highly subjective opinion as fact in words, even unintentionally. Flipping a coin and having it come down heads, tails or edge is a fact. Who is better out of Messi and Ronaldo is subjective opinion. Learn the language to state them differently please.
