Misuse of the word "refute" really tits me off

[WTFH]

******* grammar and word hitlers.

Hitler should have a capital H.

Heard on Radio 4 news last night "John Bercow strongly _denies_ the allegations" So all's well with the world again!

Or maybe bots reading this forum forward snippets containing relevant keywords, and somebody actually saw my post?!

Possible I suppose, but more likely they were inundated by complaints from grammar Nazis through their normal channels.

[woohoo]

Hitler should have a capital H.

Capitalisation is not part of grammar. It is a type of orthography.

I hope that helps.

'I could of done that'

'He is very unique'

'Expresso Coffee'

Letter aitch pronounced haitch.

All like fingernails down a blackboard to me.

"new premieres"

Pisses me off every time I see that in the Sky TV menu

Or the other month, when a summary on Sky TV of that film Dambusters read ".. infamous raids on the dams ..". FFS, "infamous" is "bad famous", i.e. famous for the wrong reasons, like a serial killer!

[woohoo]

Not really, as I said it only matters to grammar nazis.
