Steve, hate people parking ON the pavement, someone a couple of streets away from me does that. I often have to walk in the road as the whole car in on the pavement. God help anyone in a wheelchair or with a pushchair!
Lot's of laziness and poor vocabulary in English language comes from the Americanisms creeping in to every day usage. I often have to correct Possum who has grown up bilingual and without grammar instruction in English.
In general, the French speakers are better but I have noticed of late that younger people - under 30s - being interviewed on radio or TV start the answer with a "Donc". Must be watching dubbed US TV!
Steve - add "gobsmacked" for amazed or astounded. Such an ugly word. BBC presenters using the plural verb with singular nouns such as government. They should know better.

Steve , what have so started
Its general lack of bad manners that get me
Never very good at grammar so ..... Not to bothered about that
HAVE A NICE DAY
Because they are trying to be something they are NOT
hmmmmm..... never been very good at that
Can I add .... people who say 'spec' like 'speck' rather than with a soft 'c' because it's short for 'specification'
