Mic09 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 frozen, minions and all the other pixar/disney crap taht isnt cool or isnt even fun especially if it's blown out of proportion by adults but what about... Lion King, Finding Nemo, Up, Toy Story 1, Aladdin. surely you don't find all the Pixar/Disney animations crap? Some are great! Toy Story or Lion king are not just great animations; they are godfathers of the whole genre and great films. Minions are not. (in my opinion that is!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Another thing; my English is not perfect by any stretch, but it kills me when someone says 'I would of done it'. Its not I would OF its I would HAVE. On the Same subject, when someone says 'they was' or you (plural) was. What the actual ****. That is not English! YOU WERE. WERE. GOD. What an annoying thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think (or hope ... ) that it's mostly people writing in the way that they speak i.e. the contraction "would've" makes the "ve" sound like "of" so people think 'yeah that must be it'. Similar to writing 'an' before clear haytch words because they happen to drop the haytch as part of their accent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've never been to IKEA? Is it considered cheap? I just assumed, Swedish = expensive. They have a range. Some of it is very expensive. But they also have a budget range of just about everything. If you're after cheap furniture I'm not sure there's anywhere that can beat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I associate them mainly with old people and extreme giant fat people. But my girlfriend had narrowed down HER choices to a recliner, or this horrible, old-fashioned, frilly piece of shit which cost double the price of any other sofa we'd looked at. I didn't care what we had, as long as it was comfy (and wasn't frilly!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 There are a number of people I work with who repeatedly say 'we/you was' and it annoys the absolute ****ing crap out of me every damn time. It's interesting to note that these people are also considerably arsey, not very well liked, small-minded and kind of dumb. I know stereotypes aren't very nice and I certainly wouldn't judge someone straight away in that way, but I suppose there is a reason they exist.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've heard India does the same kind of institutional racism with its pricing too. Hilarious how its seen as a perfectly reasonable solution in this day and age. As for your chalk X taxes. I've heard so many stories like that about people who've been to various parts of Africa where you just have to go with whatever they've decided you pay that day. I would hope it's not as bad as the stories I keep hearing, but from where I'm sat it certainly sounds anecdotally as if it's utterly rotten to the core. The price of an Indian visa was around £30-40 for as long as I could remember. Then all of sudden there was an increase to £100!! Wtf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when people say Why you being like that for? I'm all for speaking slang or with poor grammar but only if you realise you are doing it. Otherwise I'm afraid I will have to judge you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
