I was watching Mitchell and Webb last night, and they had a sketch where there was a meeting and the guy played by David Mitchell shot someone for saying "Haitch"

I do love mitchell and webb though.

It's got to be riding high in my pantheon of most-hated mistakes...trying to work out whether "Haitch" (always said with that hideous, guttural gasp, like they're about to dry-retch the letter rather than spell the word for you) annoys me more than the less/fewer distinction and the pillocks who spell "losing" with two 'o's. Or the Americans who say "'erb" when they quite clearly mean a fucking herb.

who said "pacifically"
unfortunately he had to end himself at the end of the sketch

The difference is the cockneys and Jamaicans always drop the 'h' from words. I don't know why the Americans just drop the 'h' from 'herb' - did they assume that the French invented herbs or something? If they want to sound continental, they could at least go the whole hog and say "herbe" (pronounced more like "aerbe"), or they could stop being so fucking pretentious.
Right, on balance, I should probably find a reason pick on cockneys and Jamaicans now...

Plus Cockneys are full of shit and Rastas tend to smell a bit funny.

Not all Rastas smell.
On the other hand ALL Cockneys ARE full of shit.

If anything, you should bite the fingers wielding the pen or executing the erroneous keystrokes. It's the only way the bitch will learn.

Soon she'll start writing emails in "text speak" and then it's a short tumble down that slippery slope before she's a morbidly obese, tracksuit-clad, Elizabeth Duke-festooned Australopithecus with her hair scraped back into a bun to better reveal the forehead that keeps the rain off her toes as she cackles and grunts through a maw of grimy gold teeth that have become adept at biting the lids off bottles of blue WKD.

Just keep an eye out for when she starts "loosing" it, and don't say I didn't warn* you...

You're constantly moaning about some guy you hate but the other friends still invite him to the pub yada yada.
Then you moan about my social competance when you can't even ditch someone you don't like, that's lesson 2 of how to have a "competant" social life.
