Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[katie1997]

I get irrational rage when people talk to themselves online.

[katie1997]

Oh no you don't!!

[katie1997]

Actually, yes, I do.

As is evident by blah blah ad nauseum etc etc.

it's grammatically correct to say 'I' in all those cases

Au contraire Rose21. Subject and object innit.

I hate when I am sitting on a bus, and then the next passenger just sit on top of you not next to you or they sit awkwardly.

I disagree with the points you're making there katie1997. You're simply unable to understand the concept I'm trying to explain.

[katie1997]

Hey, its cool to disagree sometimes katie. But I do wish you'd stop derailing this thread from its important subject matter, which affects us all.

[tallulah71]

Rosie H...No, it isn't.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

People who say "me" instead of "I".

E.G.

"He is older than me."

Drives me nuts.

[ruffers]

The fact that the automated voice on BT Call Minder talks a tiny bit too slowly.

[maxxi]

People who pronounce 'book' 'buek' unless they are from Alice Springs.

[ruffers]

Is the 'ue' as in 'blue'? If so there's a lot of Lancashire to be annoying you.

[tallulah71]

maxxi - how do you pronounce 'buek'....??? And why is it OK if you're from Alice Springs?

I thought people saying 'I' instead of 'me' was bad enough....now I've got YOU lot to deak with as well.....bloody Nora.

[maxxi]

I meant it as in burke but without the 'r' sound (hard to spell if you think about it)- Same goes for cook, look etc.

I have no problem with 'luke' or any other genuinely accent/region derived pron. but when people pronounce it as though they were 5 years old and fail to rhyme book with rook (I know, that doesn't really help)it grates.

If this thread had said 'tiny little things that cause you rational rage' I would go further. But it doesn't. So I won't.

tallulah, it is you know: I = subject, me = object

I assume you meant "Rose21...No, it isn't"? If you're going to get all bloody nora about it, at least direct your ire not at the person who's agreeing with you.

[tallulah71]

sorry RosieH, meant Rose21....How stupid of me. I stand suitably chided.

(And it's Tallulah71 to you...)

[Alan Medic]

Shouldn't that be with a small 't'?

[LadyDeliah]

All my rage is perfectly rational, so I have nothing to add to this thread :))

...and two sugars.

Me shall say it any way me want. So sue I.

[tallulah71]

yes aLAN. a sMALL t....

[tallulah71]

Ooops - yes, you are right Alan Medic. A small 't'.

Will endeavour to be more exact in future.

Can't STAND people who say "me want...." etc. Sorry it's just not right (unless you're 2)

[Alan Medic]

I am now doubting the 71 little t. Is that a big number for you? Will pm.
