    Language pet peeves



    Is there something in the average utilization of English language(s) which, for very personal, unarguable reasons - or, who knows, no reason at all - annoys you inside, annoys you, annoys? Like a typo that has been adopted by the popular knowledge as OK-to-be-said, a slang, a meme that apparently turned itself relevant enough to cross the internet boundaries and became something to be said IRL, extreme formalization, or rhapsodizing and such and such and such and such and

    I have sketches of goosebumps with one person's obsessive use of gerund (which, by the way, also has its equivalent in Brazilian Portuguese! However, it is only possible to use them in very limited conditions, instead), justly because it is possible for us to use them on massive myriads of cases (goofy unrealistic but valid sample: I'm starving for learning cooking), some people abuse of it so much to the point it kind of becomes a pain to read!!

    My Anglo favourite accents are probably Rhodesian, South African, Northern Irish and Scottish.

    Worst being Birmingham and Welsh.

    Saying that though, I don't like the Yorkshire accent that sounds so put on it sounds fake (there's a girl on YouTube I noticed and she sounds awful).
