I’ve mentioned this before but my wife insists on saying “pocket of my coat” instead of “coat pocket”.

**UP*setting.

it’s demonstrably wrong as well. there are other types of mail so you emphasise the ‘e’. it’s not like you’re sending out e-cards, e-invites then some e-mails.

#11

I know someone who puts the emphasis on the last syllable in Mandela if he ever comes up in conversation. If questioned he says he’s never heard it out loud before, just for some mild irking.

#12

my IT teach at school used to do that when she said Hotmail.

“Joe, I do hope you’re not on hotMAIL.com”

#13

Maybe she was confusing it with a website full of fit blokes.

#14

Less annoying than if they emphasised the Man bit

#15

it’s quite hard work to say it like that. can you maybe get him fired?

#16

Man de-la, Man DE-la

#17

alright the specials aka

#18

My mum does this where she emphasises the “O” sound in anything containing the word Euro - so it’s eurOstar, eurOdisney, the football eurOs.

why is this so annoying? is it just cos it’s wrong?

#19

People who say “coin” as two syllables.

Ffs.

#20

Coín, Spain?

#21

#22

Ughhhh.

I was going to do a similar thread. The guy that sits next to me does the following:

  • Says “youR guys” when I think he means “you guys”, I’ve never come across this before and at first wondered if he had the impression that I was the boss
  • Lets other people speak first and replies with “know what I’m saying bruv”, YOU DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING, SOMEONE ELSE DID
  • Is weirdly over friendly and taps you on the arm
