  • I was watching the X Factor last week (the shame, the shame) and to my horror and disgust, the generic presenter type person - Dermot O'Dreary I think it's name is - uttered the immortal words 'Everyone is on tenderhooks'

    Moron!!! What would be the use in a hook that was fucking tender?!! It's tenterhooks you massive waste of space.....

    Does anyone else have any commonly misspelt or mispronounced words or phrases that when heard, send them into an apoplectic rage of pedantry?

    Like pacific instead of specific........

    Like when people try and use the phonetic alphabet but incorrectly. Not only that, but they insist on spelling it out for you

    "P for Peter........S for Summer.......Y for Yellow"

    Grrrrr....just fucking say Papa and I'll know you mean fucking 'P' you fucking dipstick.......

    That would be wrong.
