What are your pet peeves re English usage?

Huh? I don't remember him.

Hey this is an English thread. We haven't had a good peeve or argument in days.

Yes. JTT, you are an intriguing fellow, and post in a european time frame.

i don't know how i could have pulled that off, Mr McTag.

Although you seem to take a bit too much notice of what american writers say. :wink: Am I close (with the geography)?

Ya got everything wrong this go round, Sire. I live in SE Asia.

{EDITED: I assumed the site would fix one's time zone. I was the one who was wrong buuuuuut when I checked it said GMT-7hrs, so how would that put me in a european time frame, Mr McTag?}

One takes notice of AmE because there are roughly 300 million folks who speaka dat dialect. I pay attention to BrE, CdE, AuE, ... also because, well, that's where life has taken me and that's what I do.

I gather that's not actually you in the avatar you use.

In fact, it is McT in the avatar . . . i had the pleasure of helping to produce it . . .
