Out with the dog this morning and saw a woman pulling out of a junction with a cereal bowl (with a spoon in it) in one hand and the other hand on the steering wheel. I had to take a second look, as I just couldn't believe it.
Moulded rubber plugs. What's wrong with being able to unscrew it, fix it and screw it back up?
I'm not sure for certain but I think its law now, the only thing you should be able to change is the fuse. Im sure we must have an expert in that field on here somewhere.
Teachers ought to encouraged to speak in terms accessible to those they are teaching instead of enforcing what the previous generation might consider to be better English (in their own opinion).
The problem with this is when it reaches the real world. A teacher might deem "my bad", "innit" or any other nonsense phrase that they think endears them to the "kids" as appropriate, but when that pupil sits in front of a future employer in the professional world and utters such gibberish, then they aren't going far. If teachers (and Cambridge University) have any aspirations for their pupils, then they should stick to what is appropriate, rather than what is seen as cool (and the same goes for tattoos all over your body and the inability to tuck a shirt in / polish a pair of shoes...)
Bit of a hyperbole there. You consider it a nonsense phrase. Most people don't, hence why it has entered the common lexicon. I imagine you've never attended any kind of teacher training or pedagogy lesson, because probably the quickest way to turn off your students is to reprimand them for the way they talk when it has nothing to do with the lesson at hand. If they are being given training for an interview then yes, by all means teach them that employers will expect formal conversation and to avoid colloquialisms. Otherwise just carry on with the lesson. Teachers have far more to be getting on with than trying to get their students to speak in the what the previous generation considers to be formal language. Also a bit out of order for someone who is a guest in the classroom to come on here behind their back and criticise the teacher when they themselves don't seem to have as good a grasp on the English language as they think. Seems like the only person who would have had a problem with what happened in that classroom was the one person who didn't even need to be there.
Who said anything about reprimanding them? Or about students saying it? The conversation is about teachers using such words (and by (my) inference, pupils following suit). I'm also struggling to see the hyperbole. I don't understand your last two sentences...
But you are right, I've never attended a teacher training session or pedagogy lesson. I assume you have. Well done.
Anyway, just to confirm a "general thing that annoys me". The use of the phrase "my bad" by anyone, whatever their role in life.

I think you've got that wrong, most people don't use it, most people think it's moronic, many under 30 might think it's commonly used, but it's really not! It's the phrase of the fool.

Do you have evidence for this?
No, he'd much rather call everyone 3 year olds until they agree with him.
Modern chart music. Watching the MTV Awards & at 35, I'm about 20 years too old to appreciate the music
It really is the pits. Luckily there are alternative places we can source music these days. I guess that is why there is such a schism between MTV type stuff and Jools Holland type stuff (though he/they still pick their guests from a relatively narrow field).

Phrases generally don't enter dictionaries until it is in common usage. Regardless of whether you think it is a nonsense phrase, the fact that a handful of people on here who live across England and other countries all hear it often enough to be consciously annoyed by it is proof enough that it is widely and acceptably used. Move on.

No, to be fair, Mick was busting for a piss on the M25 earlier
Jokes aside, I reckon that's what helped ruin my bladder and kidneys, holding my pisses in. Used to go all day with out going and then spend all night up and down to go toilet.
