Random Irritations

Why can't Americans spell "Mum?"

People who use text speak in anything other than a text.

A cousin of mine married an American, moved over there and now has 2 kids. She posts on FB calling herself mom ?. Why, just why? It pains me every time. I'm not friends with her on FB but others I am with repost, hence I get to see the offending material.

It's worse for me when people still living in Britain start speaking/typing American.
In fact, someone on this very forum very recently referred to a car park as a parking lot.

My 7 year old granddaughter watches quite a bit of American stuff on You Tube and we constantly have to remind her that it is rubbish not trash, mum not mom and pavement rather than sidewalk etc

To be fair there is an O in mother .
There isn’t a U .
So it might be us that’s wrong.

Good point - it's why I stay off the soccer thread I do actually get used to calling it that because of the work I do on American sports radio talking about English sports.

At least the Americans seem to have stopped calling bunkers, sand traps.
That used to really boil my pea when moronic British persons called them sand traps.

Soccer is an abbreviation of Association so fine by me.

I’m seriously confused, it is no longer in my ‘out of bounds’ thread’. Have I accidentally ‘ignored’ a thread, can you do this?

If you've put someone on ignore, and they were the original author, you won't see anything they post. Not sure about being able to ignore a thread.

There is an unwatch button at the top of the page...

This is correct, if you have a person on ignore and they start a thread, you won’t see the thread on the relevant forum.

Tagged you in the thread, you should get a message.
