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'.

 

God, life in your house must be thrilling.

 

Do you have OCD? Could you not let a few grammar mistakes slide?

 

How far do conversations in your house get to before they turn into a conversation about grammar and how you should have said x instead of y?

You might have understood more if you'd bother to read the whole thread. But no, that's not you, is it - you just jerk your knees (and probably other things too).

This brings up another point. When you use the expression "old man", I assume you are referring to her male spouse, but everyone I know uses it for their father (my male and female friends).

 

Odd.

Things like that are what keep the English Language dynamic and alive. My father was from Durham and I guess that slang terms were different there.

Where did I mention your conversation was with your Dad?

 

I did not. I was implying your current household.

News.

[Barney Trubble]

When my manager asked me indirectly to do something.

 

Such as:

 

"Do you want to go and sort out this issue Barney?"

 

I just reply, "No I don't, but thanks for asking".

 

Why doesn't she just tell me that she needs me to do something instead of trying to be nice about it, it's no big deal,but if people want to give me an option of doing something that's going to be a bastard or doing something mundane, then that's their fault.

[saint_stevo]

when someone says 'can you do me a MASSIVE favour, can you pick me up some tomatoes at the supermarket when you go'

 

Its not a massive favour, it will take me 5minutes.

 

A massive favour would be donating an organ

This appears to connect with my original comment about my dad's grammar. It does not refer to conversations in my household these days. Unless you are a fly on the wall in my house (or any other sort of insect - that wouldn't surprise me) then you cannot possibly even begin to guess how conversations are conducted in my house.

 

I make no apologies whatsoever for using correct grammar and spelling. I only ever criticise ****heads and muppets to emasculate them. I loved my father's Hampshire dialect and wouldn't have changed it for the world.

I hate it when girls keep pestering me for secks.

And, FYI, 'persistent need to correct ......... OF their grammar mistakes' is incorrect.

Oh my god your annoying!

 

So because it made no direct reference to your current household, it must have been a reference to your previous house which you lived in with your dad?

 

Erm?

 

If this was the case then when you say

you must be talking about your previous house?!

What would BT have to do with Botany or Zoology (or medicine, as it happens)?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't! But then he had one of those beards where the person tries to give the impression of having a jawline when in actual fact they're a fatty. Also it smelt like he'd been eating sh:t sandwiches. And i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that reaches for the Yellow Pages ahead of the BT Directory when required. All in all not a successful visit...

They too have a similar form. :confused:

My point was that you assumed. You assumed I was talking about you living in your previous house which was a wrong assumption. If you had read it carefully you would have realised that.
