Random Irritations

[Ye Olde Boomer]

I like grammar police. I'm a horrible speller, so I pride myself on grammatical accuracy to compensate!

"I feel badly about that," is the one that rips me.

Feeling badly is what an adolescent boy does trying to fondle a girl's breast for the first time.
Feel is a connecting verb, so the adjective should be used. "I feel bad," is correct.

Also, the word "their" as a singular possessive bugs me as well.
"His" was good enough for generations as the non-gender specific word.
Now the feminists don't like it, but that means we should use "his or her," not "their," which is plural.

Pretty sure they have to notify you within 14 days

Doesn't have to arrive by then but must be dated within 14 days

Well this one is dated over 6 months late so they're getting a complaint about it..

If the car is leased or registered to finance company they have more time to contact the driver.

That was the basis of the Beckham get out.

The use of the word "of" instead of "have" in terms like "would have" and "should have". Most annoying.

F/have doesn't have the same ring to it

Well I didn't name anyone or even say it's on here. In fact I see it all over the place. I'd say more bad English than bad grammar.

Magpies. Monopolising the bird feeders and the ones we've tried to tuck further into the trees they now simply head butt and dive bomb into to shake seed out.
