"Crescent" in my limited experience in 'Merca

A subtle Americanism that riles me up is "if I would have" instead of "if I had", like "if I would have been a millionaire, I would have paid for my dad's holiday"
No, wrong.

If I had a millionaire? They're just different tenses right? Conditional and future conditional maybe?
-

The ones that bother me are "I could care less" for "I couldn't care less" and "me either" for "nor me" or maybe "me neither"

Pluperfect subjunctive, no? The meaning is pretty clear though, so does it matter if it doesn't fit with anachronistic strict grammar.
-
• #20783
I don't know but I don't like it. I'm not a grammar nerd but it's like you're talking about your possible future state from the point of view of the past, rather than an alternate/conditional version of the past. Or something.
It's simultaneously more complex and wrong

The ones that bother me are "I could care less" for "I couldn't care less"
Instinctively this feels really wrong but I think it comes from Americans using 'like' a lot in phrases, so I think of it as them saying 'like I could care less'. I could be wrong, but it's the only way it makes sense to me.

My police force still has some suitable people making decisions in the "Firearms Cardray". That always irritated me.

Maybe they think the pronunciation is the same as in padre?

Hey we’ve disrupted the toilet-cleaning space with a new paradigm and i~~NO, the toilet pan now takes twice as long to clean, half as effectively. Absolute shite. You fucking jerks.

Yes, one appeared in our toilet. I'll be making sure another one never appears.
-
• #20789
Seconded. There's one of those in the flat we're renting at the moment and it's shite.

@Stonehedge @Greenbank whoa! The reviews must explain the hefty discount on that model currently : /
Sorry but I have no idea how this company cleaned a toilet and put this through production. Honesty such a rubbish design. I have gone back to normal toilet brush

They didn't care about you taking their picture or is that bike-cam footage?

I had a camera on the back of my bike that day.

That’s a Buell. They’re rare enough without setting fire to it.

British Gas, what a bunch of useless cunts.
I just want to pay my mother’s gas bill over the phone. Can I give them money? Can I fuck. It’s not exactly difficult to run an automated payment system.
