welshbairn Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) And 'won't' - the apostrophe works for 'would not', but not for 'will not'. Thought so: People often leave the apostrophe out of “won’t,” meaning “will not.” “Wont” is a completely different and rarely used word meaning “habitual custom.” As in "Paranoid Android is wont to give erroneous grammatical advice."

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Absolutely - the word that so many folk use when what they really mean to say is, "yes", the sycophantic bandwagon jumping wanks! Any dreamed up business speak like, "blue sky thinking", or, "imagineer" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an_dee Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Scum, subhuman scum. I get asked to do a lot of 'bespoke' work that isn't bespoke. Its like someone thinks it is actual worktype rather than an adjective In my defence I was talking about 90s football kits being designed exclusively for that club. Should have gone with exclusively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Graze. I don't mean a skint knee. I'm talking about people who order the dregs of a fruit n fibre box online. Oh, they are chronically awful. I love all that grainy stuff - muesli, trail mix, all that shite. I don't know how they manage to make theirs taste so foul, but credit to them, they manage it. Not much of a business model, but hey ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Word. To your mother. Wonder if Vanilla Ice uses this on the neighbourhood kids now that he's all middle-aged and even uncooler? "I'll be having a word to your mother about you playing on my lawn, young lady!" Still a bit concerned about Ice Cube's choice of friends with that whole "word to the motherfucker" thing, though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
