Yes it's true, but I think not nearly so annoying as this.

I'm with you on this one, Tin! 

(But you learn something new every day...until now, I would have thought it a totally made-up word!  )

But you learn something new every day...

True.  And why am I so vehement about this anyway?  Perhaps I'm a closet Pelmanist... 

"Fair enough."

This drives me MAD! My boyfriend says it all the time and I always think he's angry with me....this phrase causes many pointless arguments via instant messenger 

I'm a bit annoyed with 'impact change'.  Mostly as it's coming up in an ad at Salon.com, so I see it every morning.

''What's occurrin''

Cant decide if its cute or annoying. And I have never heard it used apart from referring to ''Gavin and Stacey''.

Me too!

Occasionally Tim will say "me mum and dad" instead of "my". It's not consistent, either.  He does use the word "my"...but whenever he says me I just want to reach through Skype and smack him on the side of his head. 

But then I realize it's got to be some kind of regional thing, because I know other British folk who us the word "me" for "my".
