To be fair the ICU senior staff have always been pretty good. I was annoyed as I wanted to get away on time but fortunately I managed to get everything I needed and over ten minutes over

Annoys me when people do one of those at my work and refer to the 'CMT Team'. CMT stands for client management team, which means they're referring to the client management team team.

Yup .......................... I said I was a bit weird.
However, if you want to be pedantic, it's okay or OK and not ok in lower case.
Just saying.
Grammar police, I love 'em.
A lowercase ok is less common but grammatically correct.

Nope, ok is perfectly fine. Look it up. You’ll be enlightened.

Well I posted in jest, but okay I did look it up and the first seven references/articles all said it wasn't, and by then I was bored. Sure some can be found though.
Just like people can find justification for "gotten" somewhere, but I'll never accept it 🙂

Brexit.
Not the process, more the word.
Why can't people, particularly those who should know better, pronounce it correctly.
It's BREXIT, not Breggzit. British Exit. That's Exit, not Eggzit.
It's spelled with an X and not GG.
Why can't they get it right?
Oh, and don't get me started on the word 'medicine'.
That's medicine, not medcine.

I don't mind what they call things, however, I do mind when we start using American words/phrases

Math does my nut. I'd taser anyone leaving off the s.
Whilst we are on an American theme / rant. What is it about only using a fork? Don't know why that irritates me but it really does. They have knives as well, I 've seen them on the table. Use one.

Range Knobs... Had to suffer a couple of these last night.
Working away on my game in my own little way and trying to hit the 9 shots that Pete Cowan talks about a lot and heard a fair bit of Haney saying the same so thought I'd see if I could hit them all. When 2 numpties all dressed in their full golf garb and with all the arrogance in the world literally start talking about the bloke in the hoodie (me) who clearly can't hit a straight shot or a consistent ball flight, shouldn't even bother playing the game.
Just gave them a little smile carried on about my game and laughed at them as they gave up halfway though their bucket of balls as one had the persistent Shanks and said it's a stupid game.. I call that golfing Karma...

As a general rule I don't point out things I think are obviously typos, they happen. I do them all the time. I also have no issue will colloquialisms or internet slang when not over done. I will point it out to people who make continual mistakes (Salah being spelt Salha despite it being pointed out is one that irks) or people who show no attempt to improve their typing.
I hate the arguments of "You know what I meant" or "Haven't you got anything better to do than point out spelling mistakes"? Don't people realise that the manner in which they articulate their points is important and it lends more weight to a post if it reads well?
It's a little thing but it goes a long way!
I wonder if I made any mistakes in this post.
