"So, can I get a panini and an expresso?" F*ck off.
Nooooo, despo, no! No! Not you. Don't be one of them. I once overheard a pub bore saying "Tchoh, I just HATE it when people ask for "A panini". "A" panini. "A"!!! It's "panino" [or whatever the hell the singular actually is, like anyone ever gave a fack (singular of f***. Maybe.)]" No you don't hate it, you f***ing love it. Because ("Worrac*** - started his sentence with a conjunction!" ) it gives you the opportunity to spout off in a pub to people who suddenly wish they were anywhere else about an unknown, commonplace and so-what minor error, under the mistaken notion that this somehow makes you interesting or better than others. Yawn. It's just like paparazzi/o and the Union Jack/Flag - we all know but no-one actually gives a flying one. Craig Brown wrote a funny piece about a chap who had to eject himself from a meeting of the Pedants' Society for forgetting to indicate that Frankenstein is not the name of the monster. We all know! (Or sometimes don't, but wouldn't care if we did.) It's panini. 'Cos it just is. And if I ever hear you saying "Porsche(r)" then I shall express(o)ly shove several paninos up your tailpipe (no-one says 'folksvagen'. It's Porsche. Here. Auf Deutsch - Porsche['r'], naturlich. (Help me out, Johnny...)) But I shall overlook this one blemish.

Double adjectives really annoy me, and ought to annoy you. Imagine Alan Shearer in the motd studio referring to a top top player or a top top pass. Next worst is the expression 'get pregnant. Nobody gets pregnant. They fall, or become pregnant. Except when it's me that got her pregnant Edited by Harpo (29 Apr 2015 10.00pm)

I've mentioned this before but here goes. BBC reporters who can pronounce a village in say some s***hole in Kazhakstan with a population of 1295 people yet insist in calling Los Angeles 'Los Angelees'

I hate "Can I get" with a passion but the ones that really get me at the moment are, your instead of you'll eg " We're gonna win the league, your see" and are instead of our "Keep you hands of are Yannick" admittedly these are used mostly in the written form but still annoying. How about people saying "you" instead of "your" and "of" instead of "off"?
I don't mean to sound bitter, cold or cruel, but I am so that's how it comes out |

Confusing schizophrenia with multiple personality disorders. Confusing OCD with just being extremely fussy. Fragmented sentences.

Oh and not knowing the difference between 'less' and 'fewer' and as a result between 'number of' and 'amount of'. E.g.: "Chelsea have got a large amount of injured players in their squad, Palace have got a lot less injured players in their's". WRONG.
