Lazy spoken English

My top 5 annoying words or sayings are:

"..at the end of the day".

"Obviously", when it is not obvious.

"..like", like when used constantly like!

"So...." to start a sentence.

"...fink or fing." instead of think or thing.

gggrrrrrr..

People asking for things in shops, bars, restaurants etc using the phrase ‘can I get a beer, can I get a steak’ etc. It’s American crap. Whatever happened to ‘please can I have’ or ‘please may I have’. After all, you’re really not asking for permission to actually go and get it yourself.

Another one is cinema adverts ‘coming to a cinema near you on July Fifteen’. Nope, that’d be 15th July. Get the whole American date thing being month/day/year, but also note that their most celebrated day of the year, Independence Day, that being independence from us, suddenly reverts to the 4th of July. Not that independent after all then

Evolving. Maybe. Many words are being shortened. We might all end up super fast one day and talk (if you could call it that) in binary like machines. Now that’s evolving! Not really sold on innit, ov, l8ter, yous and god forbid ‘ows use too doin’...think those just mek ‘em sownd fik man innit. A silent and rapid string of just 1’s and 0’s would do the trick nicely. Off to learn how to communicate in binary.

The problem is that people speak faster than they can think.

These phrases are used as placeholders to keep the machine gun rattle of nonsense up whilst their brain cathces up and joins back in. God forbid you were allowed to answer whilst they pause for breath.

Samuel L Motherfuckin Jackson apparently had a speech impediment when he was younger, and the word motherfucker was used to cover the tick.

See if you can spot this in day to day life. When these tautological phrases pop up, the lights behind the eyes flicker off for a moment as the brain tries to catch up.

Its more common than you think...

"Not really spoken English, but I do dislike it when people nod at you when they're making a point. It's as though they believe that nodding makes the point they're trying to make even more correct."

Communication is naturally done via much more than word content though. Animals use many elements in some similar ways, gesticulating, posture and more. Humans have great facial expression flexibility, with norms that allow us to receive the nuances that are beyond words. Certainly some people will be somewhat more extreme in their non-verbals and Basil Fawlty laid most things on rather thickly.

I get frustrated at hearing 'like' so much, especially when back in the USA.

Colloquialisms are often regionally specific. Also accent has a big bearing on pronunciation.

I’m originally from the south coast (Portsmouth) and my accent up here is noticeably different to the locals.

I am intelligent and speak/write proper English but my accent means sometimes I drop “T”s, pronounce “love” as “laaav”, pronounce suffixes of “-er” as “-a” and use words locals up here have no idea what I mean!

Doesn’t mean I’m any less intelligent

"Pacific instead of specific.

Arks/aks/ax instead of ask.

Oh yes this is a beauty! Favoured massively by certain groups of people too we find."

You can trace "ax" back to the eighth century. The pronunciation derives from the Old English verb "acsian." Chaucer used "ax." It's in the first complete English translation of the Bible (the Coverdale Bible): 'Axe and it shall be given.'

My personal favourite is “I’ve just BROUGHT a new xxxxx”

No, no you haven’t ...you’ve bought one you imbecile...unless you’ve moved it from one place to another ...

And in coffee shops or fast food chains...” can I get a....”

Not “please may I have “

Maybe we should ask Noah where ‘Arks and it shall be given’ came from
