Folk who just take the piss and instead of showing gratitude just keep asking for something else and more, never satisfied with what they were given and what others did for them initially.

So we should all speak one or two language? Since that is how humans started off.

I might be wrong but I don’t think setting language in stone affects how many languages people should speak.

Because languages evolve from other languages due to changes in the language so if language is set in stone, their would be no new languages.

By naming them.a-hard-days-night-john-7Adding stuff to the language is fine, in my opinion, but changing bits that we’ve already set in stone is pointless and lazy.

So what if people pick a different name for a new thing?

The fact that the word ‘hyperbole’ isn’t pronounced ‘hyper-bowl’.

 

Everytime I read it in my head I hear ‘hyper-bowl’ but I have to make sure I don’t say it aloud or else I’ll look like an idiot.

 

a-hard-days-night-paul-11

Whoa! It’s not pronounced like that? *consults Websters* I guess not. 

Every time I see the word “formidable” (and other words that end in “able”) I always read it in Spanish even when it’s being used in English.

Do you mean you would pronounce it “formid-obluh” as in Les Miserables?

We do that sometimes. a-hard-days-night-ringo-12

It’s sort of pronounced for-mee-dab-ley with the accent on the last syllable.

Our favorite is inevitable (in-ev-eet-able).

That must have been some pet peeve if we are still discussing it.

…language is always evolving like what looks to be the obliteration of the pluperfect tense in the English language as seen (see that’s it being used correctly, take note Irish people!)

I thought that the pluperfect tense needed a “to have” verb

It is. A lot of Irish people are taking away the pluperfect and using it as the perfect tense.

Impertinent, rude, pipsqueak weeds that won’t let themselves be mown down easily. You run over them with the lawnmower, look back, and they are sticking up above grass level as though they are giving you the middle finger. Look you insolent, impudent weeds, I have a big machine with lots of blades that can attack you from all directions. You will succumb to me. I will get you in the end. Oh, yeah. Why don’t you just go peacefully? Do you just like the extra pain?

Dandelions have invaded our neighborhood this year. I will probably have nightmares tonight about those brazen, skinny stems.

I only mind them if they’re out of place. They cannot remain in the flower bed; out on the lawn, they may (and do) go wild. a-hard-days-night-george-4

I absolutely hate when people think that “Here Comes The Sun ” is not a Beatles song. They’re like “OMG it was Bruno Mars” and I just want to stab them to death. Is that normal?

I admit it, I’m a plastic bag Nazi.  I dutifully haul my own bags into the supermarket, and don’t let the baggers slip something into a plastic bag when I’m swiping my debit card or otherwise distracted.

So it makes me nuts when I see someone check out with a gallon of milk, and watch the bagger plunk the jug into a bag. And then realize that the bag may not be strong enough to hold it without ripping, so double-bag it.  The jug has its own handle — why in the world do you need a bag to carry it out of the store, let alone two????  ARRRGGGHHH!!

When someone in a dinner party just can’t seem to order food “as is” off the menu. Don’t get me wrong, a minor deviation is easily understandable. For example, if a menu item has cheese and you are lactose intolerant, I get that. But when you deconstruct and reassemble the dish entirely, you are slowing down my food delivery and increasing the possibility of “mystery ingredients” appearing throughout the order.
