    Americans yes. 'Couple something' used without 'of'. Grrrr..

    Having said that we have a few of our own, some of them based on Amercianisms: 'Woke' gets on my tits every time. I also hate 'draw' used instead of drawer.

    I don't know, I think ethnic use is acceptable. 'Borrow us a fiver' is correct in Liverpool for example. If you said 'lend me a fiver' they would think you were trying to give them money.

    In New Zealand I swear there are people who think it's correct to ask you to be more pacific about something. Used to crack me up when I lived there. That and guys (lots of them) called Brent rather than Brett.

    Education is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, many wilfully avoid it. Ignorance now having 'street cred' and it runs in families, the 'fick breeding the 'fick!.

    I hate when people write “would/could of” instead of “... have” and mix up “there”, “they’re” and “their”.

    Also: one guy in our office never breaks his emails into paragraphs and doesn’t use any punctuation marks. I simply ignore his missives because they’re usually quite long and a huge pain in the bottom to read.

    (My English is far from perfect, but I have an excuse: it’s my third language.)

    "Should of" instead of "should have"

    "Out the window" instead of "out of the window"

    And whenever I hear some scumbag say "I swear down" I know the little scrote is lying.

    Also Liam Gallagher ending every sentence with "you know what I mean". He'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

    To lighten the mood a little may I be the first to wish everyone a merry
