Eddie-S Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It may just be me and the fact that I haven't slept for 3 days... but I do find it exceedingly annoying when bonnets are refered to as hoods and wings as fenders. If we're not careful it will become acceptable to misspell colour, refer to aluminium as aluminum and use z's instead of s's. We're not american and we drive on the right side of the road so come on people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Tires with an 'i' hacks me off as does spelling so many words with a 'zee' rather than an 's' - like organized etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cered Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 i work with some Americans... They all have catchphrases like American sitcoms Peon #1 - Well, here's the thing (before every sentence) Peon #2 - Ok-Ok-Ok-Ok-Ok, rightrightrightright (in response to his question being answered) Peon #3 - And it's just that (After every sentence) Peon #4 - Is that right? (When someone says something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 As annoying as finishing every sentence with "like". This! I spent a distressing hour or so on Eurostar the other day sitting next to a silly cow who was on her phone for most of the journey who it seemed was unable to say 3 words without adding "like" arghhh! It was a 3 hour journey but after an hour I couldn't stand it anymore and requested a seat change. "I was like...." and "he was like....." in a transatlantic drawl. Stupid bitch.

evinX Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I do like the American terms. Makes more sense to me really. I actually thinks its along the lines of being racist to come on a forum and tell us how not to talk like Americans. Like WTF dude, c'mone...REALLY?!

The Raven Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Do we blame them for finishing a sentence with a high tone? Kind of every sentence is a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
