Very unique!

Oh yes, CountessFosco. Every time I hear it, or its friend "almost unique", I can picture my DM with steam coming out of her ears. In fact, that whirring sound you hear as I type this will be her spinning in her grave!

My mother was the same! And now I am.

I'll see your 'very unique' and raise you 'work colleague' and 'meet with' .

Over exaggerate

I will add ‘6a.m. this morning’.

Whom Tyler! The leader of the Pedants' Revolt!
I made that comment, if indeed comment it is, to my eleven year old granddaughter over lunch in the Black Lion today. Of course she knew of Wat of that name, but 'Whom was an eyebrow raiser. Slowly, slowly it dawned on her, knowing me as she does, that it was not as it appeared on the face of it.

Could I be nosey and ask what's this post about???

My grrr is ATM machine!

Saying very unique, Mine

If something is unique it can't be very unique. Just unique.

One of the only as in ‘One of the only dogs on the bus,’ riles me. What does it mean?

I hate ‘mental health’ when it’s used for someone who has problems. We all have mental health. It’s just sometimes good or bad in varying degrees.

No idea mine

Agree about 'very unique". Misusing "decimate" annoys me, too. I know the modern meaning is less rigid, but the original meaning is the killing of one in ten - hence the "deci" bit.

On television someone is talking about Lake Windermere. That was one that annoyed my mother. ‘Mere’ means lake. No need to say it twice,

I'm loving all of these!
... it's not just me then.
I hate having to "confirm" my address when they mean "tell me".

Yes drives me mad!

Almost unanimous.

Added bonus and very rare annoy me.

Park up.

Several alternatives - there can be only two alternatives.
I think I'm on a loser with that one.

Also, the reason is because.

Too few words rather than too many, but seeing someone described as "ethnic" annoys me. We're all "ethnic" of some description. Do they mean "ethnic minority", which of course means different things in different countries?

Going back to the original thread, I'll offer "meet with".

Oh sorry, Doodledog. You got there before me!

The only dogs allowed on the bus are guide dogs.

Goldie is a guide dog, and as such, she is one of the only dogs allowed on the bus.

What's wrong with that?

No problem. The more outrage the better ?. We can form a movement.
