ugh. As an aside I cannot abide people who try to use "yourself" and "myself" in an attempt to make them seem more intelligent.

Agreed ! A girl who used to work in our office did that constantly. She also called her house a "property" which really annoyed me too.

And people who try and say 'genuinely' all the time, but say 'generally' instead.

And people who say 'literally', all the time in near enough every sentence.

'It's literally raining outside... I'm generally soaked to the bone... I've literally left my coat at home too...!'.

We have a young lad in the post of "manager" exactly like this. It's laughable to the extreme. As are so many other things.

Instead they're just marking themselves out as uneducated bellends who don't understand grammar. I see it a lot at work - people seem allergic to the object pronouns of me, you, us etc., and use the (incorrect) reflexive ones instead.

I also have an irrational irritation for people who use 'momentarily' when they instead mean 'in a moment'

Such Americanisms unfortunately seem to be creeping in amongst our younder readers. One recent post by a newish member had so much that some assumed he was American.

Thread swerve, but I’m a bit of a fan of Homes Under the Hammer (council), and the otherwise lovely Martel Maxwell has a habit of saying things like “it needs replaced”, which I always find grates a bit.

Needs fixed. Needs done.

'to be' is missing from their vocabulary.

Speaking of Homes under the Hammer, I find it really grates when everyone uses the word ‘grand’ instead of ‘thousand pounds’. I get it’s fairly everyday slang, but the NEVER say the price (of anything) in pounds, it’s always grand.
