Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 It's 'aitch' actrually. HTH I didnt realise there was a correct spelling when your using phonetics to spell something? Surely your just using letters as they sound to show what you mean? Therefore spelling is Irrelevant?
Scudamore Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 drivers who don't say thanx (by means of raising their fingers/hands when you let them out/give way to them. I would say people that take longer to get the f::ck out my way on the road because they're so all consumed by the thought of giving me a wave that means absolutely nothing... I didnt realise there was a correct spelling when your using phonetics to spell something? Surely your just using letters as they sound to show what you mean? Therefore spelling is Irrelevant?

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 People who ask for things by saying 'Can I get...' No you can't get it, I'll do it for you, you just f*cking stay where you are.
bridge too far Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 People who ask for things by saying 'Can I get...' No you can't get it, I'll do it for you, you just f*cking stay where you are. Yep, wrong use of 'can'. I remember when I was a child I used to say to my Dad 'can I go to the fair' (for example). He'd always reply 'yes you CAN (i.e. you have the ability to go to the fair) but WILL you (i.e. will you be allowed to) is a different matter'. It used to infuriate me.

scott_saints Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 Fairs run by gyppo's. So, nearly all fairs then.
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 Fairs run by gyppo's. Their travellers FFS!! Dont start this again!!!
Pancake Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 Yep, wrong use of 'can'. I remember when I was a child I used to say to my Dad 'can I go to the fair' (for example). He'd always reply 'yes you CAN (i.e. you have the ability to go to the fair) but WILL you (i.e. will you be allowed to) is a different matter'. It used to infuriate me. Ditto from my olds, but substitute "may" for "will"...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 So, nearly all fairs then. There's no 'nearly' about it. I think we ought to call them 'Itinerant Travelling Carnival Personnel'. And yes I do know that Itinerant describes a wandering traveller with no fixed home.
bridge too far Posted 7 August, 2008 Posted 7 August, 2008 I think I see the origins of your pedanticism. Actually no, that's not the case. My dad was proud of being Hampshire born and bred and his grammar was appalling sometimes. He used to say 'that'll learn you' instead of 'teach' and 'I give he what for' instead of ' gave him'. His accent was so broad, I often couldn't understand him! But he was rigid about 'can' and 'will'.
