Oooh good choices.
I also find mispronunciation of 'tissue' hugely annoying. No, you fool - you're confusing the word with 'atishoo' because the two are related in theme.

People who cannot pronounce 'licquorice' also irritate me.

Although I am told I sound like Brian Sewell when I say these two words.

but people who pronounce it Tiss-you instead of tish-you
sound really lame.

bockle and lickle make me angry
also the mispronunciation of February, secretary and picture.

what about 'atherletics'?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:29, Reply)

Or unnecessary emphasis on the 'g'
in words like 'singer' (sing-ger) or 'singing' (sing-ging)

The reply to the accusation tiss-you - Snot me.

The other option 'tishew' sounds fucking mongoloid to me.

I see what you mean
but it's like the sconn/scone argument, scone may be right but it sounds gay.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:33, Reply)

sconn is right
and you put the fucking jam on first.

^ two HARD FACTS.
It is fucking well 'sconn'. This is not open to discussion.

this is what bugs me when people argue that I'm pronouncing bath incorrectly
because I'm southern and their argument is that it doesn't have an R in it so it's a short a, but the English language doesn't seem to have many set rules on pronunciation so it makes their argument invalid. Common northern twarts.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:47, Reply)

it's because they can't understand something that has rules but doesn't abide by them all the time
they are more like guidelines.

fortunately all the northerners who come down here end up swept out to sea, so I don't have to put up with them.

before the butter or the cream?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:45, Reply)

if you are using butter than that goes first
but only a fucking pleb would do that.

jam first, then clotted cream.

Ah, so that's why scones are so creamy in Devon. They're filled with Vipros' "fucking jam"

Irritation is the sincerest form of flattery.
No, hang on.
