When my kids say "It was so fun!" No dear, it was fun, or is was so much fun. Or a lot of fun. But not so fun.
Also, people who use the word bath as a verb. "I'm going to bath my two-year old." NO! You are going to bathe your two-year old. The letter E was invented just for this reason.
But the worst, the most annoying, the most insidious disruptor of the intellectual process, is the term "baby" as it's used these days in commercials. As in, "Buy Cornflakes, baby loves them." or "This soap is soft on baby's skin".
ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
It's the baby, a baby, my baby, your baby. Not just baby.
And when I hear some heinous beyotch say "I'm going to bath baby." Well, death row is looking me in the eye because Im going to strangle the very life out of the mother just so her kid doesn't grow up and learn to speak like her.

But isn't baby's correct? I am going to wash the baby 'his' skin? That is how I remember it... Been a while *REQUEST!* is it though or tho? and when? And explain to me, what is the difference between through and thrue?Originally Posted by Beirut
You can't use the word baby without putting, a, the, my, your, before it.
They're not saying babies love Cornflakes. They're saying baby loves Cornflakes. They're trying to personalize a collective and it sounds really, really stupid.
The difference in the words you cited is simply that one spelling right and one is wrong.

Grocers' apostrophes. (Eg using an apostrophe in a plural, "Apple's 50p a pound, banana's a pound a bunch")
Also people writing its for it's and vice versa.
I wouldn't say they get to me, I just assume any native English speaking person who does it is thick.
I'm not sure I agree that verbing nouns is annoying though. And I thought thru was an American spelling?

OMG - this is really going rampant here in Germany - and in German spelling you don't even use the apostrophe for the genitiveOriginally Posted by English assassin
But see for yourself
Some of these examples only make sense if you understand German - my personal favourite is #16
People misprounoucing my last name (Its PIAZZA not PIZZA or PYEAHZAH!) and people calling me a Nazi or a Communist. Or when people think I'm Jewish. Or Protestant. Or when Marine Recruiters try to recruit me (Im on my third one this year), Ditto for Army recruiters.

Capo, I know you can't serve, but they're not trying to piss you off. Give them a break, they must look and you and see 'a guy who can carry two bazookas!"
As far as the name thing goes, George Carlin said "To be an American and not a WASP is to have your name mispronounced your entire life by your teachers".
Not sure why the religion thing bothers you, but if it makes you feel any better, Jesus was a Jew.
