It also annoys me when people talk about the Union Jack: It's called the Union Flag unless it's on a boat in which case you can call it the Union Jack all you want. Even the BBC do this :(

Oh yeah, haha. The BBC do that, yet they had a "pronunciation expert" on the news the other morning to discuss what the year 2010 should be referred to as :rolleyes:. I was just sitting there not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I can say I have not had a problem with any of those words or doodads in quite some time. The last one to be sorted was a lot.

The BBC are going to keep an eye on which the public are using ad try to follow it rather than be the ones who determine it.

I think they should just either say; the number is two-thousand-and-ten so that should be its official name OR; we've always said nineteen-ninety-nine so just use that when in doubt. But at the end of the day, people can say what they want.

Worst and most common is alot!!! Aswell is also mispelt a lot too lol.

It's I normally spell its because I cba to use some punctuation


Ooh and.. Bought and brought. 'i brought a game today'..

I totality agree with "their, there & they're" I always get them confused with each other.

*cough* 'Totally' not 'totality'

I didn't know about the Union Flag/Jack thing until Rose on Dr Who said it and I looked it up. What's it called when it's part of the Australian flag?

I made this about apostrophes.
