More stuff that pisses me off .....

More stuff that pisses me off .....

People who say umb-a-rella - are they Homer Simpsonising - no cos I guess that would make it umba-ma-rella??

People who say 'your' when they mean 'you're' - this one REALLY annoys me. Example:
Your so funny.

Wrong people, so wrong.

What reminded me of this was a song on the radio - Under my Umb-a-rella - it's SO annoying - I had to turn the radio off.

I don't know who sings the song, or why she sings 'umb-a-rella' instead of umbrella - but it shits me to tears.

Other words that people mispronounce that annoy me:

Pasgetti (spaghetti)
Skellington (skeleton)
Brought (bought) example: I brought a new shirt at the market today.

Another thing that really annoys me is this new text language.

"U R Gr8. Do u wanna C me 2moz?"

I'm a bit of a grammar nazi and I just can't cope with the text lingo. How do you feel about it?

With 6 kids texting me and all using the lingo... I am used to it... and there are enough things in this world that totally PISS ME OFF now without adding another one mate. Hope you are over your wee rant... you must be feeling like shit eh? Get on your new treadmill and work it out of yourself... and I tried ever so hard not to say 'ya'....lol.

Oh my dear girl, I haven't checked in for a few days, so I have missed your very sad news. I'm so so sorry for your loss, what a devastating time for you.

Sending lots of love xxx

I'm really sad to hear all you've been through of late. Hang in there - the sunshine will come back. Just think about you and your gorgeous boy first.
