A few annoy me.

1. Nucular: I am sure they mean nuclear, and it is seemingly so horribly difficult to pronounce properly.

2. Congradulations: apparently, congratulations is a difficult word too.

3. Noo: A goon's way to pronounce new.

4. Aks: perhaps they could ask how to pronounce ask?

5. Seperately: it's a separate way to spell the word

6. Flouride: all the pseudo-scientists must believe that the water board puts a flour derivative into our drinking water supply. Might make it a bit doughy. Fluoride, non-intelligentsia, fluoride.

And every other Americanised word that has crept into English - color, anything with a z instead of an s (let alone a ZEE instead of a ZED) and so on ad infinitum.

Not nearly as bad as Woolworths and Coles ALREADY putting Easter eggs out on sale... Christmas has just ended for pity's sake!!!

(I shall stand back and watch as the grammar experts rip this post apart too )
