Having to resort to using reduced fat grated cheese for cheese on toast. It doesn't melt!

losing not LOOSING..........

Apologies if I've posted this before, but the (fairly) recent mispronunciation of the word "harass" (and/or "harassment"). Michael Crawford in "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" has a lot to answer for -oh how the audience laughed when he emphasised the "rass" rather than the "ha", but now it is commonplace.

[Loz]

People using the American pronunciation of 'schedule'. It's a 'sh', not a 'sk'.

[StraferJack]

There was a bit of a shizm at our shool on how to pronounce it as well

[red devil]

Was there also a schism about shizm?...

[StraferJack]

hehe - yup!

[El Pibe]

I dunno ladynorwood.

It's a common pattern in BrE, where you have a stress shift between noun and verb, think COMpress (noun) vs comPRESS (verb); REsearch (noun) vs reSEARCH (verb).

This fits nicely into that. And it seems AmE speakers are just as confused about how it should be pronounced, so it's just one of those things I reckon.

Although, going over and over, harASSment [charges] feels more natural than HArassment, so it's an odd bod.

[LadyNorwood]

It was always pronounced HArass until Michael Bleedin' Crawford came along and then everything changed - it makes me want to stick my head between railings and pull my ears off!

Big, back slapping man hugs....don't get me wrong I used to like these but they are foooking everywhere now. I am going to go back to a handshake or what one of my oldest mates whose a proper geezer does which is hold your face in both hand and give you a big lippy smakerooo

[Help-Ma-Boab]

It's The Sopranos effect. I still go for the handshake, only to be met with a hug. Always awkward, and this is just with my mum who I see twice a year...

I hug my friends warmly, but would never greet someone who wasn't a good friend with a hug, that's just weird.

[steveo]

I also much prefer the tight lipped smile and the limp handshake to that awful man closeness

I'm an Englishman and I demand to be treated with reserve

[Robert Poste's Child]

Kissing's a minefield too these days. Can be anywhere from 0 to 4, so 80% chance of getting it wrong. I favour one, but only to family and close friends. I once worked alongside a very girly bunch of people who kissed and hugged each other at both ends of the working day. Even the memory jangles a nerve in my chilly English heart.

[KidKruger]

The ridiculous pouting on photos / selfies that (mainly seem to be) females do.

Who's that trying to be like FFS ??!
