Pedantic?

[TrickyD]

Is it just me, or does anyone else get annoyed at, what would seem to most to be, trivial things ? My latest bug bear is on ebay, when looking at fishing tackle, items are referred to as suitable for "course" fishing. I can feel my temples throbbing just mentioning it.

I must admit, that's one of my 'pet' hates. That and when tracking something down over the phone and they say "Yes, we've got one.." you make the journey and it's been sold.

One that gets under my skin at the moment is an ad on TV for XBox Game Pass. The voice-over sounds to me like it has a southern England/London 'plain vanilla' accent. But he says the word "Pass" as an American would. e.g. the same sound as Lass. Whereas I would expect it to more closely match the sound of "Farce"
It sounds affected and just plain wrong. Harumph!

Don't start me off.
"a moment in time" - a moment=a point in time so time is not needed
"one half of one percentage point" - a half of a percent is enough
"one point twelve" when it should be one point one two (1.12)
And too many more - off to take an anti-rant pill and lie down now.

People who say no yes or yes no it's either yes or no not both.

When people write "he couldn't OF done it" instead of "he couldn't HAVE done it" It sounds OK but looks terrible when written.
The other one is LOOSE instead of LOSE. You lose something, you don't loose it

When people use “could of” in a sentence, it drives me absolutely insane and I’m seeing it everywhere even from people I’d consider intelligent.

Glottal speak,where some TV presenters can make four words sound like four sentences.to me it implies that we aren't smart enough to understand the spoken word at normal speed.
