NAKED FRIDAY!

I hate when people say "good" instead of "well". "Yeah, he did real good". IT'S "Yes, he did really well". ARGH. It's not that hard!!

"nothink" instead of "nothing" - its a "g" people, not a "k" words used as every second word - for example "mate" "umm""you know" at the end of the day life's too short to worry too much about the small things but they do jump out and hit you when you hear them. Some things when they are said feel just like some one scraping their fingernails down a blackboard. (now i'll wait for someone to point out they hate it when people use those sayings!) yes - casual friday's been good but time for a change :)

You'll be pleased to know that "shot" seems to be waning - my Girl Guides haven't used it in about 6 months.

In addition to the ones you listed (grr, bought/brought really gets to me), people how use 'of' instead of 'have' after would/should/could etc. Yes, "would've" sounds like "would of", but it's wrong.

Also, it's not "Me and Billy went to the park", it's "Billy and I went to the park". Take Billy out of the sentence, work out whether you should be using I or me, and that's still the one you use when Billy's with you!

Using the word 'like' every three or four words. I find it difficult to believe that an entire conversation can be based around a series of similies...

Putting a random s on the end of a word (eg John Keys, Deloittes etc) and changing the g at the end of a word ending in 'ing' to a k (eg nothink, everythink). I really don't understand the second one as people who do this often know how to spell the word and hear other people say it correctly. Maybe it's some kind of disorder...?

Shot Jane - mean blog! hahahahahaha

I didn't know Laneway wasn't "Laneways"! Heard it described in the plural sense so many times I figured that was what it was called. I see Chris Shultz did call it "Laneways" so hope you called him on that...

Colloquialisms don't usually bother me but I hate it when people make spelling mistakes/ have bad grammar in their CVs/ formal emails etc. Use a spell check then get someone who knows what they're doing it to read over it! I'm not going to hire you or take you seriously otherwise!

the use of 'verse' instead of 'versus'; ie a radio station held a competition "boys verse girls". Unfortunately it also has traction amongst some sports comentators, argh! On a slightly different note accidental misuse can be highly amusing such as a sports coach who inadvertently swapped 'anus' for 'onus', great pep talk that one....

Probably from a time before you are actually thinking of, and not strictly what you ask for, and definitely not PC, but one of may late and much-missed Grandmothers told us all once that "gay" used to be such a nice word......
