I hate everyone who says "sith" instead of sixth.

Literally unique - when it isn't something unique.

It gets on my nerves when people say things like “when I done it” “ I done it like this” . Totally fine for toddlers struggling with language, but grown ups??
Also some presenters and politicians when talking have all words that end in ing like partying , playing, running all now just seem to end like partyin, playin, runnin ……I find myself muttering at the radio or TV!

Commentators nowadays aren't picked for their command of english.

Words are invented by individuals and not a committee so I only criticize on a personal level.
I dislike "No way and yes way"

Commentators nowadays aren't picked for their command of english. Nor are newsreaders, it seems. How on earth is Neil Nunes permitted to read the news on Radfio Four? He sounds like a six year old, following his finger across the page and trying to emulate the voice inflections of a competent news reader but getting it all wrong. Neil's phrasing and voice inflections serve only to make the listener as confused as he seems to be by the words that he's reading. In short, the man is lacking in reading comprehension skills so it's unsurprising that he often leaves his listeners mystified by what they've just heard. Also will he ever, I wonder, explain what the gov meant?

Words are to help us communicate, yet frequently they drive us apart. Soon the next generation will communicate with emojis only and we'll be back to hieroglyphics once more.

Back to Neil Nunes and www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172z2rcm3mxbhz where he introduces the 5am news with "Senegal's outgoing President..." and he reads it like "Senegal's extrovert President..." instead of "Senegal's departing President...".

Should've (should have) being spoken or written as "should of". This is one of my pet hates too.

I was like no and she was like really..... Oh,yes! That and the repetitive, meaningless, over use of "like" in general.
