Things or people that annoy you

[ColinJ]

Text speak infuriates me immensely.
If you can't be arsed to type English, then I can't be arsed to decipher it.

I don't like text speak where there is no need for it, such as posting on CycleChat.

If I am running out of characters when texting, I will resort to a limited amount of text speak to avoid a message stretching over 2 texts because I am on a tight budget and PAYG. My phone doesn't auto-capitalise so I also stick to lower-case.

Oh, it's OK in texts.
It's on here it gets my goat.
It doesn't even annoy me that intensely, I just don't like it.

They might do these days, but they didn't when we woz lads! Here's the proof ...

Well stone me, I had no idea!

wt r u on abt??

It annoys me too, mainly because it seems to take me at least twice as long just to read and work out.
That is the nature of the English language though, it is constantly evolving, and not always for the better!

Scottish people pronouncing 'Ch' as 'Ck'.

You need one of these at the end of his name...

And doesn't that just go to show how desperately sad it is that this vital education resource has been lost to the nation ?

My friends son, who will spin off the top of a bottle of pop (any kind of pop) take a sip (with the slurrrp sound), spin the top back on, swill the pop in his mouth through his teeth about three times (like you do with a mouth wash) and swallows it, then repeat the same process again and again and again none stop

Try watching a sports event or a film on TV, you've been invited up to watch, while this is going on right next to you

I'm Not talking about English people, I'm talking about locals who really should know better.

Oh yes, and As well as Milngavie, there is the likes of Queenzieburn, Strathaven and Chatlerault, he he.

I've heard some interesting suggestions for Ballachulish! (My mum and her side of my family came from near there.)

I'd be willing to bet that 95% of English visitors and at least 50% of Scots can't pronounce Gaelic place names correctly!

Yes, going to the Outter Hebrides can be quite educational the first time!
