Americanisms taking over the world

 


I am at my wit's end shouting at the TV or YouTube videos and am slowly turning into the grammar police.

There are so many things people just say now without thinking and I have had enough. If they are not shortening words or sentences they are adding things that don't belong.

How does this happen? Why do people just go along with it like it's normal? I am so fed up with people saying things like "this needs gone" or "this needs washed" makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up so damn annoying. Have the words "to be" been lost altogether now?

Then we have "what all I bought" when did we start adding all to a sentence that didn't need it?

Another thing that drives me up the wall is "your guyses"
"I need your guyses opinion"
Please Lord will someone tell them that guys is plural
"What do you guys think"

I could go on and on but I will end with just one more thing
That is not a casserole!

I will not be silenced!

This week I am very angry

So much has annoyed me over the past few days. Not just annoyed, but angered me badly. Firstly we have Keir Starmer signing a 100-year deal ...
