[QUOTE 4807214, member: 259"]Language changes quite quickly and it's futile to get upset about it. I find 'regular' jarring when I'd say 'normal', and 'likely' instead of 'probably', but if truth be told, I'm getting on a bit and life moves on.[/QUOTE]

The shortening of university to "uni" really gets my goat. If your clever enough to go to university then your clever enough to pronounce the whole word.

And give your alma mater its correct title 'University of..'. rather than 'Something University'.
And to be honest, it should be "you're clever enough" but we'll blame that on the auto spelling shall we ?

Incorrect plate on the vehicle.Earlier I was literally stood next to Theresa's big blue bus and it was literally parked in an area where you can't normally park and I thought, that's literally not allowed.
I didn't see any signs of her taking food from urchins though...

They clearly don't understand the distinction between epistemic and deontic modality!
