TheDon Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Nothing pisses me off than thick learner drivers that trundle along at 40mph EVERYWHERE. Nothing pissed me off more as a learner than drivers tailgating you and overtaking when you're doing 30 in a 30. Or the complete lack of signals from a good 50% of drivers at roundabouts or when changing lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted August 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2011 Americans who can't pronounce Worcester. (prompted by a rebroadcast of the Churchill Cup on Universal Sports (which has only just been added to DirecTV's lineup, thus why I'm watching a rugby game from nearly two months ago) from "Wore-Stur, England") Yes, I'm aware that there is at least one locality in this great big country whose name is spelled Worcester but pronounced "Wore-Sester"; had the commentator pronounced it like that, I could understand... he might say "wooder", too. At a push I might even forgive Worchester, since many of my foreign countrymen can't help but turn -cester's into -chesters (forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do). But Wore-Stur is just total failure, because it means that the commentator knew that it wasn't Wore-Sester or Wore-Chester or Were-Chester and thus could have asked how to pronounce it instead of just making shit up.

I'd like to see a random selection of Brits give their opinion on how to pronounce the following: Des Moines Potomac Missouri Susquehanna Arkansas Delacroix (tip: don't trust Bob Dylan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 People who exaggerate the loudness of their sneeze. Just sneeze normal like everyone else! :x Indeed. Or just do a quieter sneeze. OK, so apparently it's not good to overly stifle a sneeze, but you don't have to go OTT like a plane's taking off, or you're having a fit. It inconsiderate. I do half stifled sneezes so as not to scare everyone within a 10 metre radius. And I get bad hayfever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
