As it is a pronunciation issue, it should be
asked vs asked
library vs library

Phonetic spelling for some accents and not others is one of my pet peeves.

It's an old one, but it seems to be cropping up a lot, but the massively over tripped happy anniversary type messages on FB.

I mean I could thank the missus for not shooting me in the face with a shotgun and burying me in the garden, but then I could just go tell her as she's right here...

A simple, "yay, it's another anniversary" is more than enough.

Same for birthdays.

I could probably copy and paste this into the FB thread too :D

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Is there anything more annoying than the sound of flip flops?

Well, quite a few close contenders of course. Other drivers, millennials, extroverts, school buses, people, politics, religion. But that bloody sound, just **** off and jam your flip flops up your arse, please.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Haha, thought of this the other day when wearing a pair of sandals that still sound like flipflops when I walk. Was wondering round hoping no-one else in the office thought like you. :lol:

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I'm sure many people did :nod:

I have to say, it does make me question the sensibility of an office dress code that says I can't wear jeans or trainers Monday to Thursday, but they allow those bloody things all week :blink:

You would not do well in San Diego :lol:.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I don't want to do well anywhere where it is considered acceptable for people to have bare feet outside their house.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I hate flip flops. They are only acceptable at the beach, at the pool or just after a pedicure. All other incidences of flip flop wearing should be punishable by amputation of the feet

There was a small error in your post, but I think I've cleared it up ok. ;)

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

just what sound do 'other drivers' make? :)

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

That has nothing to do with the sound they make. Just that they exist.

@ SOS tut tut- have you ever considered therapy?

People who murder other people are far worserer
