Modern Language

Permalink  
 

The footy related chat on the site seems to be a bit flat ATM so I wonder if anyone is as annoyed as me at some of the infuriating fashionable language traits that seems to have infiltrated the English language even in Rotherham.

Is everyone not super excited or finding things super complicated? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Also, everything is NOT a f**king question, I think we can thank Australia for that.

Annoying as hell!!!!

havent heard the super adjective ... you must keep that kind of company Brad.

However, I do super hate the lilt that seems to appear as a question indicator towards the end of a sentence. It seems to me that the 20 somethings, educating and females are the worst offenders

I hate it when listening to an interview on telly or the wireless when the interviewer asks a question and the interviewee, usually middle class university educated, begins the answer with "So,........"

language and its use has always been fluid, I am sure our parents and grandparents had the same gripes.

 Ian does not like the tone of you voice one bit and all we can say is that we know what we are doing and wont be spoken to as if we arent here.

My favourite is the overuse of "literally". It's irrelevant in most uses and adds nothing, literally adds nothing to the point being made. When I hear it I could literally scream!

 Literally :D

No, just kidding :) I don't know why this word is so overuse, maybe because of some kind of popular people using it?
