Four times I’ve read this today.....

So......thought I'd "reach out" to you," so fun" is "a thing "now. Language evolves and all that.

I’m just an old, ill tempered dinosaur I think!

Miranda's pushy mother said "such fun" in the TV series. Perhaps it's come from there? "For free" annoys me. It's free, you don't need to put in the for!

* So * annoys me along with Can I get.

I do not like "and also" and "added bonus" .

Drives me mad as well. I'm always shouting, 'MUCH' at the telly.

Hate "so fun" sounds ridiculous. TV presenters seem obsessed with "and also" too!

What I find interesting is how quickly these expressions catch on. 'So...' has spread like an epidemic. The other morning on the Today programme an interviewee started almost every answer: ”So...” I must stop listening out for it!

'Narrative' has also crept in everywhere.

As for ”I know where you are coming from” this really amuses me. One can think of a few good answers.
I know language evolves but it seems people are now copying trends parrot-fashion.

My bad. I haven't heard of so fun yet.

One of the reasons why I love watching old films is hearing people speak proper English. Yes, language does evolve, but any changes should be for the better. Everything is going downhill.

I phoned the bank earlier this week MissA and the young woman taking my call made a mistake in the information she had given me. When I asked her to double check she said "ooops, my bad. Sorry". My bad? What's that all about? wanders off, shaking my aged head in despair.

Chewbacca I'm shaking my head, too!
Saying it on the phone - to a customer!

Really cannot stand "my bad" and "baby mother" meaning babies mother but not the mans partner.

I never liked 24/7 but find myself using it sometimes, still do not like it but it has crept into my vocabulary.

I agree with you all and chuckle. How can we stop ourselves from copying the things we hear?
I bet I've begun a sentence with so at least once today
I was told by a linguistics expert (expert is another overused term)
That some people cannot lose their native accents whereas others are like mimics and change easily depending on what they hear. These second group are linguistically unstable. I am like that and often get asked where I come from as I have a mixed accent

Sorry to hijack your thread Katek but I've just seen a howler on our local Facebook pages;

Local floral artist can make your bridal or funeral reefs at very competitive prices. Pm me for more details

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I dislike" you're joking me".

Changes in language used to make me cross but not so much now. I think I've just come to accept that language changes over the years although I don't like to hear really ungrammatical sentences. I like to see correctly written sentences too but perhaps some people would say I am displaying snobbish attitudes.

We're all different.

Love it Chewbacca had to chuckle.
'Small little' seems to creep in now as well, tautology rules !

To die for.. that's another one.
Why can't they just say peng?

Omg chewy....... seriously?? I’ve almost got used to the ‘chester draws’ but that tops it.

"Thought's on how to improve our service"

I had a thought and suggested it, although it wasn't appreciated.

An advert in our village newsletter proclaimed that such and such a builder specialised in "Loft conversations"
The house whisperer?

My teenage GD says 'like' in the middle of nearly every sentence.....eg: "School was so ....Like...boring today".
The problem is that I hear this so often, and I have started to copy!
When making a dental appointment today, I asked the receptionist "Could you book me in ...like...early if possible".

I know that the English language is changing and growing constantly as it always has. BUT ... I/he/she was 'sat' hurts my brain.

AND while I'm on a rant ... the 'amount' of people. SCREEEEAAAMMM!!!!!
