If someone tried to correct my grammar when I was speaking to them I'd think they were an absolute pedantic arsehole.

 

surely you mean absolutely pedantic arsehole? :lol:

p.s. When did reading challenging books, listening to original music or speaking properly become a bad thing?

 

It didn't.

 

Correcting a blokes grammar during a conversation on the other hand :lol:

 

I'm picturing you as Brian Sewell now.

 

Come off it, you're truthfully telling me you can sit and listen to someone butcher English without saying something? :lol: Drives me nuts when it gets to that degree. Obviously everybody makes mistakes now and again, but it was an endless stream of awful English.

 

Anyway, I'd rather be a pedant than wrong.

Having a related argument at work with one of the lads. He was retelling an anecdote, using the worst English known to man. Awful grammar, unnecessary "you know what I mean"s at the end of every sentence etc. etc. etc.

 

I was polite as possible for as long as possible but I had to say something when he said "... but we was lending this dvd off of this bloke, you know what I mean?"

 

got into a heated debate with him because he said that there's a difference between speaking improperly and speaking in a Northern dialect. I know that this is true, but he wasn't speaking in a dialect he was just speaking poorly. He said that saying "We had borrowed a dvd from a mate" would make him sound like an idiot.

 

I know that it's not really my business how anyone speaks, what they watch or who they listen to; but this ignorance of the English language and obsession with non-celebrity makes my eyes itch and my teeth bleed. :D

 

Heat, Hello, Now and Nuts are all vultures, they feed on the weak amongst us, caring only for their fill of sales and advert revenue. :lol:

 

They exist solely to perpetuate their own existence, their stories are there, not to further debate raise awareness or challenge establishment, they're there to sell the next copy.

Oh I wouldn't say that. He used to have a Jack Vettriano as an avatar. Sewell would be seething :lol:
