Things that make your ears bleed

Petula Clark, eat your heart out!

Oh Neil! :slap:

Her version of that song is wonderful! It's so appallingly bad it's good. I particularly love her horrible wobbling vibrato and the way that she keeps messing up the lyrics, falling behind the beat and then rushing ahead. She is pure jazz in her phrasing and sense of key. Then there is the amazing whistling solo... I adore Petula; but let's face it, she's no Mrs. Miller. :help:

Now I am off to find her version version of A Lover's Concerto ... one of my all -time fave songs ... let's see if Mrs. Miller's version can eclipse that of Barbara Harris and The Toys. (*S*)

Mines, as in:

The car is mines.
A friend of mines.

Back when I was in high school one of my teachers would say " Mines are caves where people go and dig for gold or what people step on and loose their limbs" whenever a student would say "mines" instead of "mine".

She reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet').

 
Well..but if cool people do that, they can pass :lol2:

Oh dear lord. :eek:

She comes in off-time and off key ... with that amazing wobbly vibrato! ..|

Her singing sounds like the record is being played at the wrong speed. :lol:

But I can't help myself; I totally love her. :luv:

Thank you, Neil, for introducing me to this wondrous practitioner of the vocal arts. My only regret is that she recorded these stunning songs in 1966 and I have only just heard of her. I feel a bit cheated that my life been empty and void of Mrs' Miller's astonishing talent for the past 49 years. I intend to make up for lost time by tracking down everything she ever recorded .... and sharing it with my friends so that they too can experience the sheer joy of Mrs. Miller. :D

.... what is she wearing in that pic? You're right, there is more than a touch of a certain Mrs. Bucket about her. I'll bet here candelit suppers were utterly fabulous.:D

I'm mostly tolerant, just don't say "veggies" around me because I hate that word.

I'm mostly intolerant, and I agree about "veggies". Sounds like baby talk. (For that matter, "bye-bye" sounds like baby talk. I hear it often from Italians speaking English, who assume it's the equivalent of ciao ciao.) I now even see "veggies" on menus. Perhaps "vegetable" takes too long to pronounce.
 
How about when people use the word apart (which means to be separated from) in place of the phrase a part (as in to be a part of something). Their meanings are the opposite of each other. #-o
 
The misuse of personal pronouns drives me crazy:

"Me" as a subject:
"Me and my brother went to the beach" as opposed "My brother and I went to the beach".

"I" as an object:
"She kissed both my brother and I" as opposed to "She kissed both my brother and me".

Also:

Nominative "Can" when subjunctive "May" is required, that is, volition rather than ability:
"Can I help you?" as opposed to "May I help you?"

Adjectives used when adverbs are required:
"Real clear" as opposed to "Really clear".
 
"The N-word"; "The F-word"; "The S-word", "The C-word"...

Similar to 'mischievous', at least in English:

MISS-chih-vus
miss-CHEE-VEE-us

I am not exactly uneducated so must admit with some shame that I have always pronounced this word as "mischievious".

In fact I was so certain of myself that I checked your spelling to verify. !oops!

I agree with "veggies" as well, and this has irritated me even since I was a kid! It sounds childish. I do sometimes see it on menus; not expensive trendy places of course, just normal restaurants. The damn thing might as well be written in Comic Sans!

There's another one, although obviously not to do with speech. In high school, a couple of my teachers used to write up all assignments, tests, etc. in Comic Sans, and it really irritated me! I seemed to have been the only one though, no one else I mentioned it to really gave a shit. It wasn't until a few years after high school when I actually found out there's a whole world out there of people who hate Comic Sans! It's basically the text version of baby talk.
(Speaking of fonts, I'm not a fan of Times New Roman either, I just don't like the basic, default look it has. In school when we would use the computers, I would always change it to something else when typing out an assignment.)
 
'You guyses/your guyses' (possessive):

I was over to you guyses place.
Your guyses back yard is incredible.

Oh, and 'every day' and 'everyday' do NOT mean the same thing.
