Peckhamgatecrasher Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Would it be too pedantic to suggest the use of"Can I..." rather than the lovelier, but somewhat neglected "May I..."?

In short, it was called rubber, because it rubs out pencil mark, you read it right.Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292122-annoying-words-that-have-cropped-up-in-our-language/page/2/#findComment-1531900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I've often wondered why so many people say 'we was' in England. Is it the lack of a good education?
