    Spare a thought for foreigners learning English as a 2nd language. Just one example ...insoluble is opposite of soluble but inflammable means the same as flammable . No wonder words get misused o_O

    H. I realise language evolves but I'm ashamed to say I still can't stop myself getting sniffy at people who say haitch instead of aitch.
    Or skedool instead of schedule.

    They tried to make me go to grammar school, I said "No, Now, Know"

    I can't claim credit for that, I read it several years ago on here, but it still makes me giggle.

    Yes. It's usually a politician who's been forced into an uncomfortable interview, doesn't want to do it, and is trying every trick in the book to run the clock down so they have to cut to the news.

    I live in London so don't know if this is London-specific: incorrect use of question tags.

    Me: "They didn't join the meeting today".
    Response: "Is it?"
