This is a normal post I wish to protest
that I have never said All of "the" Sudden. "A" sudden, perhaps, and I won't speculate about the rightness of that, I mean frankly I couldn't care less (AH HA!), but never "the" sudden. The sudden what? I don't believe the usage exists. I won't believe it.

All that said, this is brilliant. Yay Cleese!

I also hate hearing people, mainly on US television, using the phrase, "It's not that big of a deal."

This is a normal post Ooh, I hate that also.
*hates with hatred*

I still can't get over "All of the sudden." Who says that? Wankers, obviously.

This is a normal post I have heard it used on pretty much every
American program I have seen in the last couple of years. It may have been going on longer, but not that I recall.

Edit: First hit that came up on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iovU5QWWDRA

May not be in the video, I didn't watch it, but the title says it all :D

This is a normal post I say "all the sudden"
But I hate "irregardless"

This is a normal post me too, although that's just categorically incorrect rather than a clumsy bastardisation.
It'd be like saying 'uninattentive' or something. It's just not a word, and a sort of mangled tautology to boot.
