catfan 14,793 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Today English as it were spoke, so to say, no longer exists. We have throwaway clichés, language I really don't understand, but if there is one expression I always react to it happened again this weekend. People who come to see me once a year, waving goodbye and shouting "see you later". But I won't see them for a year, and strangely they always want to come at my busy weekend; so just what is "later"? For me it used to say "be back this evening" as I went off to the pub or the cinema, not next bloody year. It really gets my goat, and I don't hesitate to say so. "like" I was on a train recently and the group opposite had some dozy tart who couldn't utter three words without one of them being "like". I could have happily strangled her by the end of the journey. ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Use...or rather misuse...of the word 'like' annoys me intensely and it dismays me to hear just how widespread it is! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,408 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 It seems some Universities are penalising students who use gender specific words, "he" "she" etc so I looked into it and here is a list pf preferred alternatives. If these radical looney tunes insist on what is actually a form of oppression why do they still demand a salutation before a name (Ms, Mz etc) If they object to Miss, Mrs, Madam why not do away with them altogether and simply state their name? Aimee Challenor, the Green Party’s 19-year-old equalities spokesperson claims "trans and non-binary deserve better". (newspaper quote) What the hell is a non-binary? Next we will have to start thinking of none gender indicative names. You can't be Janet or Mary they're female, you can't be James or John... I don't know how such a small proportion of the population manage to have such a large influence or why some (non-gender specific) people go along with this rubbish. "Best man for the job" – Best person for the job "Businessman/woman" – Businessperson, manager, executive "Chairman" – Chair, chairperson, convenor, head "Charwoman, cleaning lady" – Cleaner "Craftsman/woman" – Craftsperson, craft worker "Delivery man" – Delivery clerk, courier "Dear Sirs" – Dear Sir/Madam (or Madam/Sir) "Fireman" – Fire-fighter "Forefathers" – Ancestors, forebears "Foreman/woman" – Supervisor, head juror "Gentleman’s agreement" – Unwritten agreement, agreement based on trust "Headmaster/mistress" – Head teacher "Housewife" – Shopper, consumer, homemaker (depends on context) "Layman" – Lay person The list goes on and on, .
