I loathe the 'C' word, I think most women do. I wonder why?

Anyway I really don't like it, even though I say bad words I judge a person by saying the 'C' word. I think people who say that word have low morals, as moral rate high with me.

Offend or just plain annoy?

Well how about:

"Definately" for starters (there is a button and its called SPELLCHECK)

"Your" when someone actually means "You're"

People who use "done" instead of "did" - Alan Shearer being the most high profile offender "I think he done really well"

Sorry didn't read it properly, thanx for pointing it out.

Don't like the words 'to be honest', does that mean when people don't say this they are lying?

Is that better

In Northern Ireland most people say 'yous', except when they are being corrected by their parents!!!!!!!!!!

INNIT (chav for isn't it but used at the end of a sentence instead of a full stop if question mark) Hate it. So common here in Hayes.

Soccer when they really mean FOOTBALL
This is two words I know but..."British Open" when they really mean "The Open" especially when Nick Faldo says it. He should know better.
