things that annoy me (but really shouldn’t)
I don’t usually go crazy english-nazi during everyday conversations but some things just drive me… crazy.
Examples:
- when people pronounce ‘client’ as a one-syllable word, sounding like ‘klein’. WTF, you manglish flers.
- when people pronounce ‘flour’ as a two-syllable word, sounding like ‘flower’. WTF, you yanks.
- when people add the extra syllable to ‘jewellery’. WTF WTF WTF.
- when people can’t tell the difference between ‘democracy’ and ‘majority’
Okay, so that last one is a poor understanding of social political theories rather than bad english. Whateverlah. It’s all very annoying.
