Every think......aaaaaaghh!

[Johnniem]

Sorry if this is a repost but has anyone else noticed how many people in the public eye (including Cowell!) that say 'everythink'?

I have seen it in PH and even on a stall sign on the South Bank last Christmas .. "Everythink must go!".

Why, why, why?! I mean, what does 'every think' actually mean? It doesn't even make sense!

I have finally learnt not to get too anal about they're/their/there type errors but this one has crept into my consciousness recently and I just find it f irritating! It cannot be more wrong as it cannot be transmogrified into being right or seen as normal usage, can it?

Rant over....

Not quite enough moral indignation or implied sense of superiority. You also failed to make it cleat that yours is the only opinion that counts on this issue.

1/10 British Standardised Rantpoints.

You'll go up to 3 if you accuse anyone that disagrees with you of stalking you.

I, like you have learnt to take it easy with "your you're yor", "than, then" type of crap that in a hurry can be done evenby someone who actually knows the difference but I would like to add the following to your list:

Brought instead of Bought

And could of instead of Could've.

Do these people not realise that they are actually using completely the wrong words that have no meaning whatsoever int hat context?

Also given the frequesncy of such threads you still see people who have been on the forums for 24 months, have made 5000 posts and still haven't learnt these basic building blocs of written English.

Rule 1 of Internet Grammar And Spelling Policing: don't cock up your own post in any way at all.

"Been" instead of "being."

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can forever be happy—will you let me be yours?

Thats better. More people cannot seem to be able to sound 'th' anymore.

Another one is 'Was yer' instead of 'Were you'

What about when people say "That's £124 pound."

Should it not be POUNDS, ie plural?

I however may just perform a Falcon Punch to your face!
