people who say "Off of" when describing where they are from
It's ok when someone in the pub says "You know, him off of the telly", while just "off" would suffice, that doesn't really bother me.
But thanks primarily to twats like Scott Mills popularizing it on Radio 1, I now hear it applied to things like "and caller number 3 is Rachel off of Norfolk"

NO, caller number 3 is FROM Norfolk. You are not off of your place of origin, YOU ARE FROM! FUCKING FROM YOU FUCK!

What about Fred Talbot?
Can he say that he's off of Norfolk now he doesn't do the weather?

entirely agree
and ranted about it earlier. In my mind it singles people out as utterly ignorant and un-educated. When I hear "I'm Chantelle Smith off of scumsville" I want to punch her straight in the tits. Probably a bit harsh but it's my mind and everyone else can fuck off.

"off" would not suffice.
Unless they are saying something like "I'm Sharon in Eastenders, but Leticia off the telly." Even then it's not exactly the best way to describe the situation.

pretty soon people will be mis-spelling it as well
by calling it "of off".

Now you have posted this, I no longer have to...
