Life's little Annoyances - king1 - 07-07-2022
Radio stations that end songs prematurely when the song should obviously be played with the next piece/track.
For example: Genesis - Home By The Sea / Second Home By The Sea (Official Music Video)

The increasing use of 'that' when referring to people... People are not 'that'. They are whos. Does no one read Dr Seuss anymore?

And the use of 'learnings' and 'reckons' as nouns
Being 'across' a story or the use of 'V' in place of versus The bastardisation of English by journalists who should know better is disappointing to say the least.

Nerds forever!

"Gifting" or "gifted" instead of giving, or gave.

Talking over the start or ending of any song.
Starting sentences with 'so.'
And the most recent Americanism - saying17 hundred rather than one thousand seven hundred.
Saying 'is' instead of has.
Just remembered another - apparently, nothing is produced, made or built these days. Everything is 'crafted.'

Hundy instead of Hundred

Except, for this nerd, they have different meanings. Subtle, but different.

It is what it is.

And then if you are unlucky, it is "curated".

Another thing is that these days, nothing cures or relieves anything at least according to the ads. Instead their (probably dubious) products 'support recovery' or 'support insert name of organ here' whatever bit is affected.
And if I hear anyone saying 'going forward' once more, I may just turn them into a frog...
Oh yesss - the awfulness of idiots constantly claiming that 'you've got this'...!

I axed them instead of I asked them.

People who claim someone has 'passed.' Its difficult to refrain from asking what mark they got.
I've no intention of 'passing', 'passing over' or 'passing away'. I'm going to cark it, pop my clogs, fall off the perch, snuff it - die.

Listening to other people's music...when you don't want to. I guess it goes back to the '80's when kids walked around with a huge cassette player on their shoulder, the boom box. Now I sit at the lights with the car 4 places ahead rattling my windows...at the service station they stop their engine, but the music keeps playing full blast. These days they don't go for a nice walk with earbuds in, walking in their own private world, no, they have a bluetooth speaker blasting out in the peaceful surroundings.
RE: Life's little Annoyances - Lilith7 - 10-07-2022
Agreed - but then it does depend on the music. If it was something I like I wouldn't mind, but one note of country or rap is more than enough.
