I agree entirely.

My daugher is confined to pure BBC propoganda such as CBeebies at the moment as at least they speak proper English on there. Apart from the tellytubbies.

Tellytubbies don't speak English??!! Man, what are you smokin' ???

Yes, I for one am completely f**ked off with it.

It sounds so much worse when British people say these americanisms as well. It's like we're trying to lose our own identity to that of some generic US sitcom.

Since most children spend more time with American television than with people trying to teach them English, I think the hope that they will learn English, even good American English, is something we are destined to "loose".

You are sooooo sad!

Get over it!

Have a nice day

My bad, I like to think of myself as young and cutting edge and like to think I can use the vanaculer as part of that. Go figure!

[Lucifer Box]

"Would of" rather than "would have" seems to be becoming universal and is my personal bugbear. I predict the sad day when it becomes accepted as correct grammar.

[TwoWolves]

Its another Americanism (for that read ignorance).

My pet hate is ending with "... also."

Aaaaaahhhhhh ITS A CONJUNCTION!!!!!

[thunderlizard]

Whatever

[DimPrawn]

I hate everything, everyone and everywhere.

HTH

[~Craig~]

I hate bloody americans and the way they emphasise everything as if its a question.

Also when talking about cooking they use 'make' far too much, like 'make chicken' or 'make dinner'

[xoggoth]

People end sentences with "my bad" ????? Eh???? what language is that? It must be a yoof thing. I prefer "ooooh, fancy that" myself

[The Master]

Almost, but not quite, as annoying as people who end their sentences with the illiterate "my bad". That really gets on my cosmic goatee I can tell you.
