I caught my brother saying that and corrected him in front of whoever was serving him. No, you can’t get. You can ask if you may have and they will get it for you.
Ooo, nice one. Yes Super annoying? The dreaded Ozzy Diphthong that makes everything sound like a question? The unwanted bastard, fat, ginger spawn of way too many Ozzy soaps and estuarine English; you know? I used to live and work out there and it was a contributing factor in the decision not to settle; every statement and conversation ending as a question? Drove me crazy bonkers so it did?
I was going to reference this and its related disorder, vocal fry, but we were still sticking to words at that time. But now I can, I will. This annoying way of speaking has recently been developed with added nasality and “twang” so that it delivers even more irritation. This is achieved by turning the word “and” into “ayand” and emphasising the last syllable of words like “ever” so they are said “everrrrr”. Such people also have a tendency to add the word “right” with a rising inflection to the end of sentences, so they actually pronounce it “rate” in a questioning tone of voice. Such people must be eliminated whenever and wherever they are found. The above all used to be particularly female vocal eccentricities, but increasingly a lot of men are doing them too.
‘Like’…… I used to commute to London and I’d play ‘LPM’ or ‘Likes per minute’, listening to predominantly young ladies yakking on the phone at seven fucking fifteen in the morning.
People “liking” your emails now instead of a simple “thanks for that and your efforts, duly noted” type reply . Woke nonsense, etc…
I didn’t know you could “like” emails but I must admit I’m a fan of the same feature on WhatsApp because it allows you to bring an exchange to a close without it first having to peter out into this kind of thing: thanks - you too - no problem - speak soon - bye - bye
Microsoft. Surely the shittest w**k word ever and the bane of anyone who has to use the www for their work.
