Rant: Habitual sayings that people say that you hate.

[Radbird]

This is the new normal.

I only recently learned prodigal means lavish or excessive, not "one who goes away for a long time before returning." I apologize for my many years of mistakes.

[Richie Allen]

This is the new normal.

Yeah, I'm hearing that all the time now.

Thank God I don't hear it as often but it makes me want to punch when people say, "do what?" when they want you to repeat yourself.

Actually, I hate all sayings that become popular. Any many that don't.

I prefer "Suck what?"

Not a saying, but I'm apparently the only person that knows how to pronounce asterisk.

Along the same lines, I can't stand it when people pronounce "height" with a "th" sound at the end. The word "height" rhymes with "flight" -- not with "scythe". I think half the people I work pronounce this incorrectly.

'I could care less' is a real gem.

Overused and incorrect.

Every time I hear it, my ears bleed.

I could care less that your ears bleed. I won't. But I could.

If I hear another British person correct an American on our pronunciation of Jaguar I'm gonna break something. The American way of saying it is closer to the proper Portugese way. Just because you decide to mangle foreign words doesn't make it correct worldwide. I saw Jeremy Clarkson correct someone on Top Gear then tell them Brits say it the way it's spelled.....really? That's the way it works? Norwich should be Nor-witch instead of Norr-itch, Portsmouth should be Ports-Mouth. It is so damn condecending to correct us "stupid Americans" when you are screwing it up worse than we are.

And don't even get me started on the jagoffs who still call us 'the Colonies'.

Other than that I really like the Brits.

i dont know why but i have always pronunced aluminum, al-u-min-e-um, like the Brits do. There are a few other words that i didnt even realize i did till i lived with Brits for a year. I guess i was exposed to something at a young age because its always been like that.

I hate the British.

I have a hard time pronouncing "still". I often pronounce it like "steel". If that pisses you off, then [expletive] you.
