Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 Actually no, that's not the case. My dad was proud of being Hampshire born and bred and his grammar was appalling sometimes. He used to say 'that'll learn you' instead of 'teach' and 'I give he what for' instead of ' gave him'. His accent was so broad, I often couldn't understand him! But he was rigid about 'can' and 'will'. God, life in your house must be thrilling. Do you have OCD? Could you not let a few grammar mistakes slide? How far do conversations in your house get to before they turn into a conversation about grammar and how you should have said x instead of y?

Pancake Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 BTF has a lot of experience in dealing with cheeky young whippersnappers. Every night when her old man gets home... This brings up another point. When you use the expression "old man", I assume you are referring to her male spouse, but everyone I know uses it for their father (my male and female friends). Odd.

Barney Trubble Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 When my manager asked me indirectly to do something. Such as: "Do you want to go and sort out this issue Barney?" I just reply, "No I don't, but thanks for asking". Why doesn't she just tell me that she needs me to do something instead of trying to be nice about it, it's no big deal,but if people want to give me an option of doing something that's going to be a bastard or doing something mundane, then that's their fault.
