  • When I worked Occasionally popped in at Channel 4, they used to email out some of the funny reviews they received.

    One of them I remember was for a series on Auswitz, which simply said - A bit gloomy.
    Sorry, did you say something Mr puncture 2006 ;)
    2004 - but a valid comment tbf.
    Bit of a let down?

    Pronouncing the herb Basil as Baysal

    And the word 'herb' as 'erb'

    PS. I think coleslaw and slaw are two different things

    Erb is the correct way to say it. It comes from latin via french. It's only Victorian grammarians who were seeking ways to make themselves sound important that introduced the false 'h'. It should always be dropped.

    The really annoying thing about aitch is the number of people who say 'haitch'. I work in HR and it's amazing how many people call it Haitch-Arr. Frankly none of them are employable.
    Child Genius is on tv at the moment. too many of them are saying haitch in the spelling round. makes an otherwise intelligent child sound stupid

  • People smoking over their kids. We're in Spain atm and the amount of people doing it is disgusting. So many parents with babies in prams, sitting at the bar with a fag.

    After having been diagnosed with Emphysema last year and being that I have never smoked, I thank all smokers for their consideration

    not to mention pronouncing oregano "oreg-anno" rather than the correct "orey-garno"

  • Proofreaders who cant even check a backpack.

    If that was for me, this tickled me the other day, though not a proofreading general thing that annoys me. Supermarket labels annoy me too.

    What a load of bollocks. Chocolate Digestives are PL champions, FA Cup winners, League Cup winners and Champions League Winners. Plus they won the fair play league, programme of the year and best pie awards.

    With you on this one. Detest surveys, especially ones from hospitals asking whether you would recommend them to a friend or family member...wtf ??? Next time someone is having a heart attack in London I'll tell them that I recommend a hospital in Devon !!
